I'm mat Joe thrump cope tipop drop this cush let me too much in
your brain. Turn the much flood on your touch. What's up, Titans
fans, it's your boys here from the Titans Fan Battle podcast Maximus Titan fan
and my main co host, Flame Douglas. Main't off the Hey, it
never duplicated. Man, tightened up. That's right. Tighten up everybody.
Now tonight we're gonna we're gonna talk about a few things. We're gonna get
into the offense first. I think we want to talk a little bit about
what we think the offense is gonna look like. Uh, Flame, you
want to take it from there, yeah, man, I'll take it.
So we're gonna talk about this Titan offense. Man. First off, I
think it started off with, well we're gonna do at quarterback? I mean
that's hey. I mean, that's the that's the number one question right now.
Are we running with Tannehill or are we gonna end up shipping Tannehill off
and we're gonna go with our rookie Will Levis. I mean, personally,
I think we should go on the rocket out with Tannehill one more year,
because I mean it all it really depends on if we're gonna if we're gonna
do the read of where they calling that the if we're gonna we're gonna start
over, or if we're gonna keep going with what we're going. I feel
like, man, let's just run it with Tanny one more time. I
mean, we're paying them an arm in the leg. We might as well
throw the man back out there. If we're gonna run it with Tanny.
We got Derek Henry back in the backfield. We got Taj Spears, the
rookie we drafted from two lane. I'm like, I'm liking what I'm seeing
from here right from him right now, good speed wide receiver. That's where
it get kind of depressed, and that we got it. We're bringing back
trailing Burke's hopefully hopefully he can stay healthy, give us some good production because
he's definitely our number one receiver. Behind him, I think we got Nicol
Westbrookie keener hopefully he can produce. Hopefully, I mean we need him to
kiss some balls, get open, create some to create some separation for once.
And then behind him, I think we got h Kyle Phillips, another
rookie who got hurt last year. We need him to come in. You
know, I said rookie, But yes, yes, say yeah. It's
definitely approve of you for Kyle Phillips and I got I got high hopes for
Kyle Phillips. Man. He showed me a lot last year in training camp
and then when the regular season started, he had a couple of good games.
I like him as a slide receiver. Man. I think he can
definitely get open. Tanny can get the ball to him on some play action
stuff. And then everybody talking about the rookie we drafted the the guy,
uh ut Martin. Yeah, oh yeah, colding down. Yeah, I'm
liking what I'm hearing about him. You know, he got good size,
good speed. Man. Right now, we just were just hoping one of
them can bloom become a become a star receiver. It's not a star.
Just produce. That's all we're asking. Man, if you could just produce,
we'll be fine. And as far as you know, the worst part
of our team last year was our offensive line. I kind of feel like
we fixed that problem. We are with our first round draft pick. Um.
I just want to see it. I just want to see it all
together and work so hopefully, like through the preseason and some guys we picked
up in free agency, I just feel like we we might hey, we
might be better than a lot of people think. And that's what I and
that's what I'm hoping, and I hope. I'm hoping to Tanny produce.
Dearck Kenry gonna do his thing. We know what he's gonna do. I
just need these receivers to get open produce. I'm excited, man, what
you what you thinking? Max? Well? Uh, to be honest,
you know, and some people come me at Homer whatever you want to call
me, but uh, the way I see it is, is the offense
better than it was last year? And for me, the answer is a
resounding yes. That's an easy yes. We got Taj Spears better than Dantre
Hilliard. Yeah, I honestly believe that. Josh Wiley will produce as much
as Hooper, maybe more. Anything about the tight ends, I'm sorry because
you I just say anything about tight ends. But I do like what I
do like Wiley, and I'm thinking that's gonna be a special group. We
got to but go ahead. Yeah, and then of course we got Chig.
You know, I'm a big fan of Chig. Dude. Man,
everything he does, I love Chig Man. I can't help it. Uh,
I follow him all over Twitter and everything because I just love everything he
does. Man, twit. Chig is an awesome dude. Plus he performs,
and that's the most important part. Yeah. Um, But as far
as receiver goes, I think, uh, you know, and I said
this a lot of this offseason, and this is why I think people are
calling me a homer, But it's because we didn't draft any well. We
drafted one wide receiver in the seventh round, but we drafted a lot of
pass catchers and that's the important part, you know. And I think ta
J. Spears is gonna it was one of those dynamic guys that I could
see lining up in the slot a lot, you know. I mean he
could he could actually line up in the slot and then you got him and
the King and Chig and Wiley on the field at the same time. With
birds, we got some weapons, man, I'm telling you. And if
you're a creative play caller, you know, I just I just see all
kinds of opportunity there. And plus, everybody's got to remember the last two
years we've been dealing with this injury plague that has been killer. I mean
even last year, I think we were the number one injured team in the
NFL. We didn't break the record like we did a year before, but
we were still the most injured team in the NFL. So you know,
that's a that's a big that's a big problem. But as far as wide
receivers go, I'm excited about Colton Dow and if you were. I'm not
a UT fan, but I live around a lot of UT fans. I'm
a Georgia fan, but everybody up here next to Knoxville loves UT. So
I'm in UT country and Colton Dow and the UT mark. I mean,
Colton Dow put a show on at UT. I think it was like seven
receptions for one hundred and twenty four yards or something like that. It was
sick, dude, literally when I saw the kid, I thought, man,
he's probably gonna go somewhere else. But I didn't know he was,
you know, gonna go to the draft this year or not. I was
really excited when we picked him. I didn't know he was even available.
I wasn't even he wasn't even on my radar as far as the draft goes.
And then when I saw it, I was like, oh my god,
that's the kid that burned UT. And as soon as I knew that,
I fell in love with the kid. Not because he burned UT.
I still, you know, I show my hometown pride too. But yeah,
but Georgia comes first. But anyways, first the wide receivers go.
You know, we have to talk about it. Everybody wants us to talk
about it, beyondre Hopkins. That's right. Everybody wants to know, man,
what's your what's your take? What do you think we do? Do
you think we get him? Do we not get him? And why?
Man? I think that we're not going to get him. I wouldn't let
me say that. Let me start out by saying I would love DeAndre Hopkins
on the Titans. He's always been one of my favorite receivers. He always
has killed us every time we played the Texans or the Cardinals, whoever you
whoever he's with, he shreds is every time. He's been doing it for
years. But I'm kind of think I'm thinking that we're over that. Go
get the veteran receiver thing. Like I think after Julio burns this last time,
it's like you kind of want to stay away from that man. That's
how I think. Go get the old vent who's been killing it. But
he's gonna come here and not give us much, and it all I also
say this, Um, I don't I don't know. We might have to
give up too much. We might have to give up too much to even
afford of DeAndre Hopkins, especially like what we got going on with like all
these offensive weapons that we talked about with Chig and uh, you know,
with the new guys coming in, like we need them to follow behind some
of these veterans and so they can get you know, acclimated to the offense.
We got a new offensive coordinating, Tim Kelly. So we need everybody
you know, in a in a position. And I don't think we need
to give up three four five guys to afford DeAndre Hoppins because we're gonna have
to cut if we don't have to, if we don't cut Tanny, which
if we cut Tanny, we probably can afford them. But if we're gonna
roll with Tanny, which I hope we do, we don't need to give
up none of our key pieces. I say, I say we leave DeAndre
Hopkins along. Let's go with these young guys and let's see what these young
guys can take us. How you feel about the DeAndre Hopkins thing. I'm
glad you asked, because it's a two part question for me. For me,
it's do we keep Tannehill or are we rolling with Will Levis. If
we're rolling with Will Levis, I say, no, we don't need we
don't need DeAndre Hopkins. We need to just roll with what we got.
Let's let's do it. Yeah, but that's if we're gonna trade, you
know, if the trade happens, you know, or if it doesn't have
whatever you know is everybody's talking about the Raiders trade right now, but you
know that's gonna be a little bit further down the line. I honestly think
the DeAndre Hopkins deal might be done. But before he gets his physical and
his released. So I think people who are saying trade him off and let's
get Hopkins, that's not gonna work. But my point is is if we
decide that we are gonna go for and we're gonna run for it, I
do think that we could get rid of a couple smaller guys like Jamarco Jones
off the offensive line, and even I really liked the guy Rashad Weaver.
There's a couple more small, smaller, backup rollish type guys that you could
get rid of, Like you said, four or five guys unfortunately, but
yeah, four or five guys you'd have to delete off the team to take
on a contract like DeAndre Hopkins, because we still got to sign Will Levis
to his Crickey contract. Chat out. We got Scronski today, by the
way. Yeah, But like I said, if we're going for the win,
then I think we go all out. We try to get Hopkins,
because honestly, with DeAndre Hopkins, our offense looks completely different. You put
him on the other side with Burke's and that set up I told you about
with Chig and Sharpe and Henry. Come on, man, that's just Toy
and Kyle phillips Man, Yeah, and Kyle Philip Yeah. I mean,
you know, I really hope he stays healthy. I hope the weight that
he said he put on in the off season, he said he put on
about twenty pounds in the off season. I really hope that helps him stay
healthy and stay on the field because I envisioned him as like a West welkerish
type of wide receiver, you know, or a Julian Elman type, you
know, one of those little small guys that gets in there and you kind
of lose track of him and then he pops out and you give him the
football. Yeah, exactly. So yeah, that's pretty much my feeling on
it. I don't I guess if I had, if I was the GM
and I had to, like, you know, make a decision as to
whether I was going to go after DeAndre right now or not, I think
I would probably gauge it and see how much he wanted. You know,
some people are talking about his contract varies, you know, depending on who
you talk to. Some people say, because the Cardinals are already paying him
so much money, he's not gonna want that much money. But I still
think he's gonna want that much money. So I think he's probably gonna want
twenty twenty to twenty two million year at least, and I just I think
that is too much to give to an aging veteran wide receiver, even if
it is DeAndre Hopkins. I love d hop and I think he's probably got
two more years, good years left in the tank. If you look at
his last seventeen games or sixteen games, excuse me, seventeen sixteen sixteen,
sorry brain, anyway, you look at the last season he would have had
you take away the six games suspended. I think he had like a thirteen
hundred yards and one hundred and four receptions and like eighteen touches. Very productive,
but you know, you take away the six games, you know,
But is he going to continue to do that for the next year. I
don't know. But if I had to pick, sorry, really long rand,
if I had to pick no, I would not get DeAndre Hopkins,
and I want one more time. We have to we have to think about
will he do that in our offense. We don't pay, We're not a
pass heavy team, and I don't know with Tim Kelly if we will turn
into a pass heavy team. So like what even what do you even want
to come here and number two behind dear Camery because we're still gonna be that
run heavy team, still gonna run the ball for sure. Yeah. And
another thing is that he if you look at his record, you know he
doesn't as he gets older, he doesn't like to be as physical as a
receiver, and we demand our receivers to be physical. So either hey,
he's gonna not blockwell and you know you're gonna have cornerbacks slipping into the backfield,
or be you only bring him on on pass plays, at which point
halfway through the season, everybody knows when DeAndre Hopkins comes on the field,
hey, hey let's sack you know, Ryan Tannehill or whoever's in the backfield.
So it just doesn't work. Yeah, it doesn't. It doesn't work
for me. I don't think especially for the money. Now, if he
was around a ten fifteen million guy, Yeah, absolutely, get out,
man, that's that's silly to even think about. Yes, get him,
but not for the money that he's asking for. I don't think that's uh.
I don't think that's a hang on. We go a pretty good one
here and that. Yeah, a lot of people are talking about his connection
with Tim Kelly. We got to consider that. You know, he's a
he's a Texans guy, so there's always the Mike Vrabel connection. But also
another huge factor I think is his money. You know, everybody keeps talking
about DeAndre Hopkins is not really chasing a ring or whatever. He wants money
and sorry paid, man, we broke. We are poor in Tennessee.
Man, that's right. And another thing is you can't you can't like go
into the season with zero salary cap. You know, people keep like edging
the number is just down enough to where it's just at zero, and it's
like, man, you can't do that now with the way I injuries I
set up. We gotta have a we we gotta have a little money to
go get some free agents. Yeah, that's that's the silliness. I mean,
come on, people, we can't fall out. We gotta play it
safe at this point. Yeah. So we've got DeAndre Hopkins covered, We've
got what our offense looks like covered. We're gonna do a cool little segment.
I think it's cool. Anyway, We'll see if anybody else thinks it's
cool. Called Titans Legends, and we're gonna talk about the old school because
you have to know the old school. You have to know where you come
from to know how you got here. And for all your young guys out
there, if you don't know who these guys are, do yourself a favor.
Go home and google them and YouTube them and watch some of these videos
of these dudes playing. You'll see what we're talking about for sure. Do
you want to go first? You want me to go first, I'll let
you first. You got the offensive. I went defensive on this when I
let the I let the offense go first. Go ahead. Who you got?
Who's who's your legend this week? Well, honestly, I struggle.
You know, this our first show. I wanted to come out big,
So obviously there were only two choices for me. I think everybody knows who's
one of the choices, and when I say the other choice, they're gonna
automatically know who you know who the other one is. But I chose Eddie
George because he is the reason that I actually, I mean not the reason
I became a Titans fan. I always said, if Tennessee got a team,
but follow him and blah blah blah. But he's the reason I became
a die hard Titans fan. I mean him and Jeff Fisher's teams. Really,
the way they played that hard knows. That's why I like Frable so
much. Man, everybody's hard on him, you know, And I'm like,
dude, I love this game. I love watching Derrick Henry go out
there and beat people up. It's so fantastic. Sorry, got off on
a tangent talking about Eddie George. Now, this is a bat in a
time when there was no you can't lower your helmet, there was no you
know, there was barely a face mask rule. Man. I mean,
these people were beating each other up. They were gladiators back then. And
this dude and masked. And I'm just talking about on the Tennessee Titans.
I'm not talking about when we were the Houston Oilers. I'm not talking about
when he went to Dallas. Talking about the Tennessee Titans. He had two
thousand, three hundred and ninety eight carries, twenty four hundred carries, y'all,
And y'all say we used Derek Henry too much, please. He had
eighty six hundred and forty one yards total at fifty six touchdowns, two hundred
and thirty six receptions for nineteen hundred and sixty two yards and ten touchdowns.
That man was a beast. He also had a forced fumble and a fumble
recovery little little known fact about the force fumble thing. But right now he
is currently the head coach of Tennessee State University. My alma mater, man,
no big blue hey, shout out man, Shout out to Eddie George.
Shout out to your alma mater. Man. That's awesome. And the
one thing I'd like to point out about Eddie George is he is a consummate
pro. He does exactly what you want him to. He performs on the
field and off the field. He carries himself with an attitude, and he
also has a chip on his shoulder. And to find people like that is
really hard. It's really hard. And not only that, he's a consummate
franchise player. And what that means is that not only after he left the
game, even though you know he went to Dallas or whatever for one year,
blah blah blah, he comes back to Tennessee all the time. He's
always around the Titans facility. He's even mentored two of our running backs that
I know of. Right off the bat. I know he did Derrick Henry
and Chris Johnson, and I'm sure he has mentored others. We just don't
know about it because they're not popular enough. The point is is the man
has a deep love for the Titans, the city in Nashville, and the
state of Tennessee. And I think that in itself speaks volumes for the player
and the type of person that he was. Yeah, his son also growd
awated from Vanderbilt too. Yeah, that's right, that's right. Yes,
he's a Tennessee dude. Basically, he basically stayed in Tennessee. Ye.
I don't want to take anything away from Eddie. He should be in the
Hall of Fame. I can't believe he's not. But he should be in
the Hall of Fame. But to give his total numbers, we've got twenty
eight sixty five carries, ten thousand, four hundred forty one yards, sixty
eight touchdowns, two hundred and sixty eight receptions, two thousand, two hundred
and twenty seven yards, and ten touchdowns. On the receiving end, he
was a beast. Hey man was a monster man. Yeah, speaking of
Eddie, I don't think he get the get the resp back he deserves.
Man. That man was a real work war work horse. That man got
that ball and he ran it. I mean, he didn't have as many
long breakout runs as Derrick Henry, but he was looking to he was looking
for physical physicality. He was he was looking to hit you. He wanted
to hit you right in the mouth when he got that ball. And with
Steve mcnare, that was a one two punch man. That was two great
legends. Too great obviously he was. He was the other. I was
debating between. I had a rough time taking that, to be honest,
that was hard, all right. So I went on the defensive side of
the ball and I went with my You know, I picked this guy.
He was the first Titans jersey I got when I was a kid. So
when the Titans came to Nashville, I was probably only about eight or nine,
I want to say nine years old. Man, I wanted the tightenst
jersey, so that I picked straight from the University of Florida, javaon the
freak curse Man. That man was a beast. I'm gonna I say a
beast. He probably one of the fastest defensive players I've seen come off the
ball coming off that line. Man, that man was a monster. First
off, His rookie season was his best season. Man that man had fourteen
and a half sacks his rookie season fourteen and a half sacks, and he
also won Defensive Player of the Year in his rookie season. Like, man,
come on, Tights, Tights don't have a We don't get that kind
of recognition anymore, Man Java, Yeah, yeah, Man, that man,
Hey, that was probably one of the best seasons of rookie ever had.
And on top of that, he's still when it comes to just the
Tigers and not the Oilers. He still leads the Tights in sacks, and
he still got the record for all time sacks. The real Casey came so
close to breaking it. He still Javan Curse still leads the team in sacks
with fifty two. Jarell Casey had fifty one before he retired, so he
was one short. So Javan Curse still got the restor. But let's check
out his stats for his whole career. And we know in two thousand and
three he did leave went to the Eagles for a few seasons, but he
made his way back to Nashville. Gave us a couple of productive seasons.
Ay and the Freak He's definitely a Titan legend. Listened to these stats though
he had seventy four sacks, twenty six forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries,
and one interception. Man, that monster. And then on top of that
rookie season when he had those fourteen and a half sacks, Man that dude
had fifteen tackles for loss. So he was in the backfield so much.
He was in the backfield, dam the more than running back. Man.
That man was a monster. Man, that man was a monster. And
to still hold the Titan sack record says a lot because we've had a lot
of guys come through, like hal vanden Bosch, Derek Morgan, Jarell Casey,
Harold Landry. I mean, hey, we got guys. It's getting
sacks. But ain't nobody stopped. Ain't nobody top Javan Kursey yet. Harold
Landry is good. I still I still haven't seen nobody come off that ball
like Jivan Curse the Freak. Man. He was fast, he was long,
he could man, he was like he was just reaching around man.
He was man. Monster. Dude was a monster. And I'm not a
big Florida Gators fans. I got some family members that loved Florida Gators.
But man, hey he was doing this thing at Florida too. But hey,
I'm glad that Blood Adams drafted Javan curse because he was a monster.
I wish I still had that jersey. I probably have it in here on
the wall if I did. But yeah, that man was a beast.
So I had to go with you when I curse my first legend on Week
one. Man, I had to had to. That man was a monster.
Dang, and I should have been better prepared. I got my I
got a Red Jevon Curse jersey, and really that's cool. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, Now, the freak was amazing to watch man that was on
that that ninety eight, ninety nine or ninety nine, two thousand defense or
two thousand, yeah, two thousand was his rookie season, I believe.
But he was amazing. Man, that was that was unbelievable to watch him.
Like you said, man, he was in the backfield so much.
It was just like every every play you were just waiting for it, watching
him, just waiting to see it, and you knew it was gonna happen.
Yeah, he made so many game changing plays, like when we needed
a plate, he came through fourth man. He yeah, he was the
man, shout out Marcus. So all right, man, so all right.
So another thing I'd like to talk about is our or rookie or undrafted
free agents. You know, there's been a lot of talk about the lack
of wide receiver that we didn't get. Um, you know, we we
ended up picking up the Jacob Copeland made a big statement on Twitter this week.
I don't know if you saw that or not, but he said,
uh, you know, thirty two teams passed on him and there was I
can't remember exactly what he said, thirty nine or or fifty three or something
like that. I don't know. He named off exactly how many wide receivers
were drafted in the draft, and he said, I'm gonna make sure and
keep every one of them his name wrote down. Okay, I like that
kind of confidence. May come weeded, that's what that's that's what we need
in Tennessee. May we need confidence from a wide receivers. That's the same
kind of confidence A. J. Brown had. Hopefully he can't make it,
I mean transition, make show it on the field. Yeah. Yeah,
maybe he can give a little bit off to Burks, although Burkes has
it too well. He showed it when he caught that ball. What's that
on the jack? No, it wasn't on the Jaguars, it was on
Green Bay. Turn around around, told him he was too small. I
like that, and I get I get hype when I see our receivers.
You know, you know, oh, some confidence out because tights Man,
you know, we've been cursed that wide receiver the whole time we've been in
Nashville. And then we do the A. J. Brown trade, so
we you know, we're gonna continue to curse. So we just need somebody
to break that. Hopefully trailing Birds have a breakout season this year. I
got. I'm expecting a lot from that guy. Yeah. Well, he
says he's looking good. No, tas Man. They say he's breathing better,
he's moving faster, he looked stronger, got the asthma under control.
Yeah. He stayed in Nashville all year round so he could get kind of
acclimated to her awful humidity. Because I don't. I don't. Anybody who
doesn't live in Tennessee doesn't understand the levels unless you live in Mississippi or Louisiana
or Alabama, then you might understand. Yeah, yeah, southeastern area anywhere.
If you if you never experienced, I'm I'm must trying to describe it
for you. It's like it you go outside and it's not that hot,
but for some reason, it suffocates you, like you can't breathe. It
almost like you can't even take a deep breath. It's like you or something.
Yeah, and that's pure humidity. It's nothing to do with the heat.
Humidity, humidity, humidity. I'm not that oh man. Let me
tell you that on summer nights, I can go out on my back porch
and flip my light on and you can literally take your hand and wave it
through the air like that and you can see the little water molecules like float
around, and shit, it is amazingly moist, especially here in the valley.
Oh yeah, but I can believe it. I can believe it.
But another big uf DA I want to talk about is the uh what is
that kid's name? Man? I had it, I have it here,
I ain't got to hear. It's the defensive end from Paris State, big
boy. Yeah, six or six foot eight, I think, or something
like that moves like a well, he moves a little slow, or at
least he did it to combine. But I don't know if you saw that
Ota video, but he didn't look like he was moving too slow to me,
Yeah, look like he was moving good and fast. And he popped
the bag like, oh my god. But there is a very very specific
video I want to talk to you about. I don't know if you got
to see it or not. But and I'll go deeper into one of my
draft picks. But the the Scronsky he's coming off of play, it was
real early. It was like two weeks ago. He comes off of play,
blows the dude up boo. Yeah, knock him on is Yeah,
knocked him out. You know who that was? Who was that? That's
the kid from Maryland that we drafted in the fifth round. The offensive tackle.
Really that's that's not good. That's I mean, I don't know.
It might mean that Skroski is the real deal, or it might mean that
the kid from Maryland just he not great. The last a good point,
good point. As long as they treat him like a number one, he
will produce yea yeah, yeah, as long as they get him the ball.
Yeah. But the way I'll take that that hit is uh, you
know, they say the one of the things I wanted to talk about was
that kid from Maryland. He apparently had some character issues or maybe some workout
issues. He gained some weight in between the combine and his pro day,
and I didn't really like to pick. I didn't think he really fit with
what the Titans like to do with their players. But then when I saw
that video, it really con learned for me that what I already thought was
true. But secondly, it confirmed for me that you know, I'm a
coach and our coach a little nine to eleven year olds in city league.
Yeah, and I tell them all the time, I say, you know,
we don't have to win. We don't have to you know, effort,
that's what I grade you, one hundred percent effort. I want to
see effort in practice. I want to see effort on the field. Give
me effort all the time. And that's what you get when you get one
guy who wants to give you one hundred percent effort on every practice and every
play and a guy who wants to take a couple of plays off or whatever.
You know, that's what happens when you take a playoff. Somebody who's
not taking a playoff takes you off, take knock you off your damn feet.
Yeah. Hey, And like I said, man, I got big
hopes with Scronsky tool Man because I I can't say I was a big Taylor
Little One fan, but I like what Taylor Little One brought to our offensive
line. You know, the swad girl, you know, the the you
know they call I'm a fake tough guy, but I like the you know,
the tough guy attitude. Like we need that even though they say you
used to go out there and say crazy stuff. Man, we need that
nastiness back. Man. We got the biggest running back in the NFL.
We need to be pushing people off that lang hole. So hopefully contribute to
that knocking people off that ball, creating holes for Derek Hanster. Shout out
to Peter Storrosky, Man, I hope I could hope with that eleven pick
we made the right pick the two with Yeah, I really think we did,
man, I mean I honestly do. Uh And a lot of people
are debating whether he's gonna start a tackle or guard, and I think he
started at guard. In my opinion. Let let Andre Dillard get a shot
at And I mean, besides, I don't know if you saw the there
was some more OTA practices where they were showing Ryan Tannehill throwing the ball.
They showed one angle and it was Dillard and Scronsky, and then they showed
another angle and it was Petite Frere and brun School or brun Skill and then,
uh, I don't know how you say his name. I'm horrible with
names, y'all. Watch this enough, y'all see I'm terrible with names.
School. Yeah, that's it, brun School, run skill, run skill
whatever. All right. Uh, and we know Aaron Brewer's starting the center.
You don't pay somebody four million dollars not to start, so pretty much,
there's your offensive line right there, and I love it. I think
I think if they can jail, like you said, I think we've got
a huge improvement on our offensive line. We just improved so much just by
letting Dennis Daily go. We just got ten times better by letting that bomb
go. Addition by subtraction, Man, get him out of here. Thank
god. I'm loving our offensive line right now. Hopefully you know them,
young guys. You know I want to see Petite Fred get a little better
too. I know, Aaron Brewer, we're gonna have a first off.
I'm gonna say we're gonna miss Being Jones. Man, that was one of
my favorite Titans. Due was a real real baller. Man, I'm gonna
miss Ben Jones, but I feel I'm confident Aaron Brewer coming down snapped that
ball to Tanny or Will Levis, whoever it's gonna be. I'm hoping it's
Tanny though, but I think I think Brewer can do his thing. And
then you got those young guys on the left side. I'm feeling good about
it. Man. That was the worst part of our team last year.
I'm loving where we had with it now. I love I was at first,
I was a little weary of the the Scronsky pick. But I'm like
every every week I'm I'm you know, I'm feeling better about it and I'm
loving what we did. Shout out the uh parth on man. I like
the draft overall. Man. You know a lot of people are we have
the worst off season? You know, I've seen that list come out a
couple of times about teams who had the worst off season. They got us
thirty two. So man, but hey, they never give us respect anyway,
so we should. You shouldn't expect less. Let's be honest. The
Titans played better when they're expected to be bad. Yeah, so yeah,
I keep hating everybody. Everybody bring all that negative energy so we can suck
it all up and then beat y'all up with it, because that's pretty much
what we do. Troll us on Facebook, get in the comments. We
bringing it this year. I feel good about that officer line. I feel
I feel good about I feel good about Spears, Spears, Spears liking him
like we all. I you know, I'm liking what they comparing them to
what they saying he's doing when he catching the ball. We got cheek coming
back, Birds coming back, Kyle Phillips coming back. Hey, we're gonna
say, yeah, I think people are, you know, they're expecting us.
I think, let's see, I think I've seen four or five different
um expectations or projections or whatever that say five or six wins total, and
for the Titans, I mean, for me, anything less than and for
me, I just got done saying just a few minutes ago that are we're
better than we were last year? So unless there's like a crazy injury bug
like there was last year, then I think we should be better than we
were last year. So anything less than seven wins is a disappointment. So
I don't know where they're getting five and six wins at. You know,
we're eight at least that's our basement. And then then we're looking at more
like ten to eleven wins somewhere running there. That that's my prediction anyway,
ten to eleven wins. Honestly, I can't even say that high. Honestly,
I say, I say we're going to be around at eight nine range.
I'm not expecting a lot from a lot of teams in our division.
You know, everybody's gonna with the rookie quarterbacks. I don't see nobody just
breaking out right now. On paper, Jacksonville the best team in the division.
That's you know, everybody's you know, yeah, yeah, on paper,
Jackson's exactly. But we know they're not much better than us, if
any if it wasn't for a bull b as fumble call last year, we
beat them in Jacksonville and we win the division. But that's another store for
another thing. That's a guy we picked up like three weeks ago and the
trash offensive line and like half backups on the defense. I mean, come
on, man, that wasn't even a game. Everybody talks about that.
You know they're gonna run the yet whatever. All right, we'll see this
year. Oh y'all Jaguarant fans, take notice right now, if you're watching,
take notice. Y'all are gonna get eight this year? Yeah? Yeah,
And I mean y'all think they got. They say they got the best
quarterback into division, which may be true. I mean, uh, but
that's not gonna just simply win y'all games. I like that we got Art
and Key from y'all. I like uh, I like him. I'm liking
what we got in Tennessee, and I'm feeling good about it. It's a
lot of people that's skeptical about it, what we got, what we've done,
But I'm here to tell you, man, Flame Douglas, I'm feeling
good. I'm feeling good about the offense. I'm feeling I'm feeling good about
the defense. What we need to talk about this. Kevin Bayer not being
an eight ota is like, is that a big deal or small deal to
you? How you feel about that? Max? I kind of. I
mean, I see why everybody freaking out about it, you know, I
can understand. But to me, it's not a big deal. If he
don't come in for training camp, then it's a big deal. I mean,
but I have heard that they're trying to groom a mighty hooker to take
his spot, which you know I've heard. I've heard the same thing.
I've heard that groom and Molden. I've heard that, uh, you know,
he's yeah, he's getting time at uh at safety. And Elijah Molden
honestly is built better as a safety. I mean, the way they use
him right now as a slot corner, they really only use him on first
and second down anyway, and he's really just like an extra safety anyway.
So to be honest, having him as a safety is a pretty good idea.
Um. So I don't really, I don't really Again, I don't.
It didn't really bother me that much. It didn't really freak me out
or anything, because I don't think they're necessarily grooming him to take his place.
If anything, I think they're just uh insurance playing. Maybe. I
mean that, you know that might be true, you know, in case,
you know, kb's more upset than we think he is, and you
know he wants a new contractor he's not coming back round. But I don't
see KB doing that. I mean, I like KB character. K B
will be out there when it's time to play for Sean. Yeah, I
think honestly, I think he's I think if anything, uh that's that you
know you want to say, is coming out of this, that that he's
trying to make a statement. And that's basically you know, remember who I
am. I'm brow Yeah, I intercept I picked people off man, That's
right. Yeah, and that's all I've been doing since I've been here,
so exactly. Yeah, number one, I think for number one or at
least top three in the league. I know that he might feel a little
disrespected about Tights asking him to take a pay could. I mean, I
feel him though, you know what I'm saying, Like, after all I've
done, I've been out there, then then every snap I ain't been hurt,
like y'all don't ask me and y'all paying Ryan Tenninghill all this damn money.
I kind of feel him a little bit like, yeah, no statement,
KB, but you know, when it's time to play Titan football,
we need you out there. We need you in that backfield. We need
you. We need you to, you know, flying around making plays.
So you know, if it's a small chance KBC this. You know hander
your business, big dog. I know you. You know, married all
that hand of your business. But when it's time to play football, come
on back to Baptist. You know what I mean, that's true, and
get get it on, man, because you know we can't run this ship,
y'all. Y'all can go ahead and pretty much mark this down. If
he shows up for camp or if I mean if excuse me, if he
don't show up for camp, they probably ain't gonna be on our roster this
year. And that makes me a Titan. I'm not gonna lie. We
can't. Yeah, we really can't afford to lose nobody right now. We
need we need everybody we can keep, especially good players like Heybe. We
need to keep players like that. So that's why a part of me feel
like he's gonna be out there. Man. That dude love football. Man,
he loved football. He love like raping him. Say he loved ball,
somebody the little ball. So he'll be out there. Yeah, and
then then you know, Morocco I was literally just about to say this that
Grabel had a conversation with them, said he saw him out on the golfield
and said everything was fine. Everybody needs calmed down. But you also know
titans or tight lips, they don't talk about nothing until it happens. Well,
I think the head coach didn't even know his star player was getting traded
until it happened, because you could tell man in that video. You watch
that video, Mike grabels bad. Dude, He's like he had to he
had to walk off and he choked out. Yeah, yeah, he was
about to bust him up. And you know at the press conference when you
saw him walk off and they went like this, That's that's how you know
it was bad. It was like, oh shit, they just went separate
ways. That's Morocco blur up a good point though, he's talking about Fulton.
Yeah uh they said Titans and folds and not in a good space right
now. He don't like how how Rabel called him out on them soft tissue
injuries man, And well again, go ahead, go ahead, I'm gonna
see I started quarterback. We need you on that field, man, So
like you gotta get out your feelings to get in your bag. Dog.
We need you out there. You know, you see how A. J.
Brown done you last year? Buddy. Come on now we need you
out there, bro, come so get it together before we need you.
I mean, no, we need, we need, we need finally to
finally get in your bag, buddy, because that's the one I wanted to
talk about. Now, as far as Fulton goes man, I'm not again,
I know, I'm mister. Everybody calmed down. Everything's fine, Everything's
gonna be fine. But that's because that's what I truly believe. I truly
believe that Fulton. I mean, you know, let's say this, all
right, Let's try to look at it from his perspective. All right,
he's a player. His coach just called him out basically on national a national
stage and said, this guy ain't preparing right, he ain't doing the right
things. So what's he doing. He's working with the NBA coach. Now
that seems a little odd to me, but obviously he's trying something different.
And to me, that at least says he's trying. And I don't know,
I personally I look at it as a good thing. A lot of
people are looking at it as a negative. I think it's a positive.
I think he's trying to actually get himself right. I mean, most people
don't realize that Derrick Kenry usually didn't come to OTA's. I mean, this
year he was there and it was actually a big story because he's usually not
because he's always working out doing his own thing. So the people that didn't
show up, I don't think it's that big of a deal, except for
Caleb Farley. Ye now that you know you can't Yeah, sure, yeah
you don't. You don't show up. I mean, you don't have two
crappy seasons where you're injured. You know, you look like you're not good
enough when you are on the field. Uh, you know, and then
and you and you're built for it. I mean, you're you got God
gifted body to go out there and do exactly what you're built to do.
Man, man, I'm telling you got speed and everything. Like, I
really don't, I really don't understand what's going on with Kayla Farley. You
know, the Titans. I'm not gonna tell us enough to let us know.
I really didn't understand last year when he just wasn't playing but he was
dressing out. I'm like what is going on with this dude? But well,
honestly, yeah, I think I think I think Rabel saw early signs
of what we're seeing right now, you know, him not showing up to
OTA's you know, I mean, OTAs are exactly that they're they're they're voluntary.
But if you notice, ninety percent of the Titans were there, there
was only like, I think three healthy Titans that weren't there, and that's
Caleb Farley, Christen Fulton, and Kevin Byrn. But other than those three,
all the other people that weren't there are injured or you know, they
have they have a reason, they're rehabbing or something like that's going on.
So the fact that those are the only three that didn't show up, the
other two guys are clearly working out. They've got videos of it out on
Twitter right now. What's Caleb Farley doing on Twitter? Nothing? I haven't
seen nothing from Caleb Farley on Twitter. If anybody has, let me know,
you know what I mean, I'd love to I'd love to see what
Caleb Farley's workouts look like. It's thank you everybody. Remember that life shares
all that helps goes a long way. Um, all right, man,
I think we're about ready to wrap up. Is there anything else you would
like to say or any topic you'd like to touch on before we let me
