This is the OTP presented by Farm

0:12

Bureau Health Plants. Let the experts at

0:14

Farm Bureau Health Plants coach you through it

0:17

when you'd need great healthcare coverage at a price

0:19

you can afford. They've been protecting Tennesseeans

0:22

since nineteen forty seven with

0:24

Amy Wells on Mike Keith pads.

0:27

We have pads at practice. The

0:29

best part. That's really what I'm

0:31

here for the first week of training. Camp

0:34

is like a long runway. It's just the

0:36

run up to take off, which

0:39

is pads the real football. It's

0:41

real football back at St. Thomas Sports

0:43

Park. What jumped out at you about pads

0:46

the amount of work that they were doing. It

0:49

didn't seem like the

0:53

usual or what I have seen sometimes

0:57

as the chaos of pads, where

0:59

everyone's just flying around hitting everybody.

1:01

It gets a little chaotic because people are just really

1:04

excited. There's obviously a buzz and people

1:06

were obviously fired up, but it seemed

1:08

like intentional. It felt like they were working.

1:11

It felt more organized and like everyone

1:13

was pulling in one direction, as opposed to

1:15

sometimes when it's just mayhem because people

1:17

are wearing pads. Did you notice that I

1:20

think they're further along as a ball club,

1:22

and it feels like they get

1:24

more done because they're

1:26

older. Yes, the team is

1:29

older. The team has been

1:31

with this head coach for four years. The

1:33

great majority of this coaching staff has

1:35

been here all four years, and it's like

1:37

they just dove right back in and

1:40

picked up where they left off in January

1:42

preparing for the Baltimore playoff

1:45

game. It feels like an adult football team.

1:47

That's a good way to put it. Yeah, everyone feels

1:50

grown up. But speaking of grown ups, one

1:52

of the younger players, Caleb Farley, first

1:54

round pick for Genia Tech, cornerback,

1:57

talented guy called

1:59

off of Fi and is

2:01

practicing, not doing everything, but

2:03

he's practicing. I don't need him to do everything,

2:05

And I think that this is something that Titans

2:08

fans need to keep in mind throughout the entirety

2:10

of training camp. Coach Vrabel

2:12

does a really, really good job of

2:15

monitoring his players, making sure they don't

2:17

over exert themselves, making sure they're taking

2:19

care of their bodies. And he's doing that with a

2:21

lot of people this season. We're

2:23

seeing already he's giving a lot of breaks to

2:25

some of the older guys. He's making sure

2:27

that Caleb Farley doesn't do too much. He's

2:29

making sure there a lot of different guys are

2:31

out there, they're getting their work in, and then they're pulling

2:33

them back a little bit, which I think is

2:35

so smart because you're not winning any games

2:38

out here right now. You're just not You're

2:40

gonna win games in September. We

2:42

need everybody to be healthy in September.

2:44

So I think it's so smart what

2:47

Mike Vrabel is doing and the way that he's

2:49

managing this football team. But

2:52

people sometimes see, what do you mean,

2:54

Caleb Farley didn't do every single

2:56

thing. It's okay, it's good. Julio

3:00

Jones off practice a couple of days after

3:03

getting a little dinged up on Monday. Julio

3:05

Jones could never practice again, and

3:08

he would be just fine on Sundays.

3:10

He's a thousand years old. He knows how to do this, a

3:12

thousand years old. Speaking

3:15

of players coming in, Sam Ficken

3:17

is here, kicker, Jets

3:19

cut him, Titans claim him off

3:22

waivers. They get rid of Blake Howbeal,

3:25

the rookie from Ohio State, and now he

3:27

is competing with Tucker McCann. McCann

3:30

has been very consistent and

3:32

you bring in a guy like Ficken who has

3:35

some kicks in this league. Has

3:37

been a little streaky in his career, but

3:39

has made some big kicks at different

3:41

times when he's played for the Rams and the Jets,

3:44

and so the kicking competition

3:46

winds forward. Both kickers appeared

3:48

to have a very good day on Wednesday.

3:51

Yeah, they did. And it's a fun

3:53

competition to watch because what this team

3:55

is looking for it seems as consistency. It's

3:58

not necessarily the biggest, strongest,

4:02

most like longest

4:04

kicks in the world, but you need someone consistent

4:06

and reliable. That's what this team is looking for. So

4:09

to watch these guys battle it out and

4:11

to see them working on the side, and then to

4:13

watch them come on and do all the different

4:15

kicks that they do during the special teams periods

4:18

really fun to watch. I'm excited about

4:20

it. But you're absolutely right, Mike. Tucker McCann's

4:22

a guy who has been here for a while

4:25

and has been able to

4:27

keep working and keep developing

4:29

as a kicker. So

4:32

we'll see if that helps. And bringing in fresh blood

4:35

always always makes the competition a little

4:37

bit more interesting. One thing about Tucker McCann

4:39

too, is having been here,

4:41

having been in this system, having understood

4:44

all that goes on, certainly towards

4:46

his favor. The other part, the

4:49

Titans punter Brett Kern is

4:51

a little bit older. He's mid thirties,

4:54

and you know, he got dinged up in a game

4:56

last year. Tucker mccan can punt.

4:59

He was going to be the punter last

5:01

year, we thought until he

5:03

got hurt in practice. When Kern got injured,

5:06

then Tucker McCann looked like was

5:08

going to be the guy. So you don't mind

5:11

that versatility just as a little

5:13

bit of a backup to potentially get you through

5:15

a game. It was a pretty good punter when

5:17

he did so at Missouri, right, Yeah, Yeah,

5:20

he was a good punter, and so having that

5:22

versatility and that kind of plan

5:24

be really helpful because not every

5:27

kicker can punt. No, it's a different

5:29

skill set. It is a different skill set. We said

5:31

early on the star of training camp

5:34

might have been a Moni hooker intercepting

5:37

passes, making things happen. I wonder

5:39

has that turned to Christian Fulton now, who

5:41

has had a really nice week

5:44

so far. I think they could be co stars.

5:46

Is that possible? Can they be co stars

5:48

of Camp because yes, they have both been

5:51

showing marked improvement from

5:53

last year to this year, and they

5:55

both look very comfortable

5:57

in having more responsibility and

5:59

take on bigger roles on the field. We've

6:01

seen both of them make plays. I'll give

6:04

him co stars. Mike Luke Stocker

6:06

is back. Luke Stocker is back. Luke

6:08

Stocker, who joined the Titans in

6:11

December of twenty seventeen

6:13

after being waived by the team who

6:15

drafted him Tampa Bay, spent

6:17

the rest of seventeen In all of eighteen with

6:19

the Titans, last two years with the Falcons.

6:22

He is thirty three years old, the eleventh

6:24

year man out of Tennessee. Big

6:27

burly blocking tight

6:29

end Jeff Swain has not been practicing,

6:32

so Luke Stocker has gotten all of those reps

6:34

right. Absolutely, He's got that veteran

6:36

presence the same way that

6:38

Jeff Swain does, so he's able

6:41

to come in. He understands what he needs

6:43

to be doing. He's able to make an

6:45

impact pretty quickly on the field in terms of

6:47

helping some of the other guys in that room

6:49

figure out what they need to be doing. And yeah,

6:51

he's a guy who we know can be a consistent

6:54

player. We've seen what he's able to do, and

6:56

he's a strong dude. He

6:58

is strong and strong a lot the same

7:01

build as Tommy Hudson, who

7:03

is in his second year with the Titans

7:05

out of Arizona State. Last year on the practice

7:07

squad, Tommy Hudson getting a

7:10

lot of reps, getting a lot of

7:12

work, got a chance right now to make his

7:14

mark towards towards

7:17

I think making the fifty three man roster.

7:20

To me, for Tommy Hudson, it's going to be

7:22

how do you translate that to the preseason

7:25

games? The preseason games are

7:27

kind of the next piece. You know, when you break

7:29

down training camp, you talk about actually getting to

7:31

training camp, and then you put the pads on and then

7:33

you've got the preseason games. So seeing

7:35

some of these guys like a Tommy Hudson out

7:38

in action when everything

7:41

is live and seeing how they react, how they're

7:43

able to make plays, and are they able to still

7:45

execute their assignments, that's

7:47

going to be the next test. But yeah, Tommy Hudson

7:49

has been getting a lot of recognition these last couple

7:52

of days for what he's been able to do in practice.

7:54

You know who else has two is Marcus Johnson,

7:56

the fifth year wide receiver from Texas. He

7:58

has done a nice job and with Julio

8:01

Jones taking some time off and Josh

8:03

Reynolds being a little dinged up too, he

8:06

has had the opportunity to get a lot of

8:08

first team reps. Keeps making

8:10

plays. And here's an

8:12

interesting thing about him, and I want to throw this one at you.

8:15

He caught a pass in practice earlier

8:17

this week in the end zone

8:20

and he and the defensive back caught

8:24

each other's feet. They got their feet tangled,

8:27

so they're both falling backward to

8:29

the ground, and Marcus

8:31

Johnson catches the pass in

8:33

this prone position. Great catch, falling

8:36

backward. The defensive

8:38

back whose name escapes me right now, hits

8:41

the ground first and Marcus

8:43

Johnson lands on top of him.

8:45

Okay, and then

8:48

because they're nearer the sideline, after

8:51

he lands on top of the defensive back,

8:53

he rolls out of bounds. And

8:56

he lands out of bounds.

8:58

He has caught the pass,

9:00

so the question becomes he

9:03

lands on top of the defensive

9:05

back. It's not pass interference because their feet

9:07

got tangled, so there's no penalty.

9:11

But the question is he lands

9:13

on top of the defensive back who appears

9:15

to be fully inbounds. Okay,

9:18

but the first time Marcus hits the

9:20

ground, he's out of bounds. So

9:24

I had a question. I said, is

9:26

that a catch and a touchdown? Or

9:29

is it an incomplete pass? I

9:31

actually went to the NFL officials,

9:34

the officiating office, and ask them

9:36

that question, and they email me

9:38

back immediately with a very definitive

9:40

answer, touchdown or

9:42

incomplete pass. Well, it's a touchdown,

9:45

right because the player is an extension

9:47

of the ground, so he lands on top of

9:49

the player who is fully on the ground on

9:51

the ground. Okay, so there you go. Ashley

9:53

Farrell says it's an incomplete pass,

9:55

and Ashley Farrell is correct. Interesting,

9:58

it's correct because he did not

10:01

complete the catch in bounds.

10:03

The contact with the ground was out of bounds.

10:06

That's where he completed the catch, and

10:08

because of that, according to the officiating

10:11

office, it is an incomplete pass.

10:13

So landing on another human does

10:15

not constitute being in bounce.

10:17

Correct. All right, interesting note, but more

10:20

you know, But Marcus Johnson has had a

10:22

wonderful week. Looks like tier Tart

10:25

is living up to the preseason

10:28

bill from just what I've seen

10:30

in contact so far as advertised

10:32

is what it looks like to me. Yeah, I mean a

10:35

lot of conversation about the work that he's

10:37

done this offseason, and now I

10:39

think he's seeing some of the benefits of that

10:41

work. He seems to be getting

10:43

a lot of recognition and praise from coaches,

10:46

from teammates, and we're seeing him get

10:48

a lot of reps. So all of that is exciting

10:50

for him and hopefully he can keep going.

10:52

Same for John Simon, the veteran ninth year

10:55

outside linebacker who signed

10:57

with the Titans last week, really

11:00

has looked good at the outside linebacker position.

11:02

Knows what Vrabel wants, knows what Shane Bowen

11:04

wants in that defense, and even though

11:06

bud Dupree has not started practice yet,

11:09

although good reports on his

11:11

progress as he comes back from the knee

11:13

surgery last fall, having a veteran like

11:15

John Simon in position to

11:17

take a lead role until bud

11:20

Dupree is ready opposite Harold Landry

11:22

feels like a good thing. Derek Robertson

11:24

back to practice, but he's gonna have to battle.

11:26

You get a guy like Simon in there who knows

11:29

what he's doing, does it right all

11:31

the time, whether it's run or pass. That

11:33

consistency is something that's you know,

11:35

really valued by the coaches and a

11:38

young player like Rashad Weaver the fourth round

11:40

pick out a pit. If you're in that battle right

11:43

now, you better be good every day at OLB

11:45

right, consistency seems to be the number

11:48

one thing for Mike Vrabel. He wants guys

11:50

who he can rely on

11:52

no matter what, to know what to do and do

11:54

it fast, and having the veteran

11:57

leadership component where he can help the young

11:59

guys get to where they need to be and bring

12:01

them up to speed so that they can be

12:03

consistent on play after play. That

12:06

seems to be a premium that the Tennessee

12:08

Titans coaches are looking for. My

12:10

most consistent Titan to this point is Jeffrey

12:13

Simmons. Yes, I agree. We would

12:15

be wasting the ot people's time

12:18

to sit and gush about Big

12:20

Jeff because all he does is

12:22

Big Jeff things every day

12:25

every day. Yeah,

12:27

I mean the guy. The guy is just I

12:29

think he is on the brink of

12:32

something really special because

12:34

the knees no longer a problem he has

12:37

experienced. He's got other helpers

12:39

on the defensive line in Denico Autry

12:41

and tier Tart Laurel Murchison, And

12:44

I mean, he just

12:47

keeps getting better and better, and

12:49

it's he blew up a play yesterday, Yeah,

12:53

and just because he was just there. Yeah.

12:55

He's in such a great position right now

12:57

because, as you mentioned, the pieces that are

12:59

around him, he's

13:01

able to continue to do Big Jeff

13:04

things and he doesn't have to do some of other

13:06

people's things. You know, he doesn't have to fill

13:08

in those gaps because he's able to he

13:11

can just focus on being Big Jeff and

13:13

just wrecking things. And see on the OTP

13:16

we can talk about the b j T Big

13:18

Jeff things. BJT like

13:22

that. We don't need any more acronyms.

13:24

Mike turn to the folks who have been in

13:26

the game since nineteen forty seven. Farm Bureau

13:28

Health Plans offers the great healthcare coverage

13:31

you need with a price tag you can afford. One

13:33

thing that we do feature on the OTP is

13:35

the OTP cues. Speaking of acronyms,

13:38

we have a few and submit him all

13:40

the time. We're not gonna do,

13:42

as it stands right now, just an OTPQUES

13:45

show because we're

13:47

doing training camp shows and we want to talk

13:49

about certain things that we're seeing in other

13:51

topics, but we want to sprinkle

13:54

in your questions and comments.

13:56

So Amy Wells tell people how they

13:58

could submit their ot EPQ Tennessee

14:01

Titans dot Com slash o

14:03

t p Q. Send

14:05

them there, I will receive them. We will ask

14:08

them on this show. What do you have? Well, we've

14:10

got some good ones that I want to ask, but

14:12

then we have a couple where I

14:15

need to coach you through it a little bit. So we're gonna start

14:17

Farm Bureau Health Plants can coach you through it. Well,

14:19

there you go. See it's it's all a theme,

14:22

Mike. So we're gonna start with this question

14:24

from Adrian and it says,

14:26

how yo Adrian? What

14:30

Rocky Yo? Adrian? Rocky Balboa.

14:33

I'm gonna say something that's gonna make you sad.

14:35

His wife was Adrian never

14:38

seen? Oh wow, you

14:40

can no longer work here, Please get up and leave. I

14:42

think I've seen Rocky. What's the one with the Russian

14:45

man? That's Rocky four? I've seen Rocky

14:47

fo Yeah, I've seen Yeah,

14:50

I've seen that. If he dies, he dies, yeah,

14:52

yeah, I haven't seen one through three and anything

14:55

after don't see, don't

14:57

see the fifth one because it's terrible,

15:00

okay with Tommy Gunn okay, horrendous,

15:03

but every other one is fantastic.

15:05

How many are there? It's like a lamb

15:07

before time. Well there's sixth total because

15:10

the fifth one you don't want to see. But then they

15:12

came back with Rocky Balboa, which

15:14

was the great clothes that

15:16

that should have been the final one. And then of course he's

15:19

in the Creed movies. This

15:21

is exhausting. This is a whole world

15:24

to get into. Adrian. Oh,

15:26

how many people do you think? By the way, last

15:28

week went and watched The Crush

15:31

after we talked about it on the OTP over

15:34

the weekend. We always come out with the movie review.

15:36

There you go go see all the Rockies,

15:38

not five, don't see five, don't

15:40

see Tommy Morrison not good?

15:43

All right, OTP ques let's get back on

15:45

track. Tommy Marrison's a nice guy though. This

15:48

is Adrian. She's from Texas

15:50

and she asked Texas, lamassa

15:54

is that a place? YEA, All right, Adrian,

15:57

I'm so sorry. We will get to your question.

15:59

How hard do you think it will be for other

16:02

teams to come up with a defensive game

16:04

plan against the four horsemen,

16:06

which is Bryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry, A.

16:09

J. Brown, Julio Jones Hard. I

16:11

think you're gonna have to make a choice, Amy,

16:13

and that's the part of it. I'm

16:15

certainly not the expert that Dave McGinnis

16:17

is, but we've

16:20

seen this in our history when it was Eddie

16:22

George and Chris Johnson, and now with Derrick Henry.

16:25

Is teams will immediately go at

16:27

the Titans to stop the

16:29

running back because they know if

16:31

they can't stop the running back, it doesn't matter

16:33

what else they do. Now, if

16:35

you set your whole defense

16:37

to stop Derrick Henry, you

16:40

are putting yourself in some one on

16:42

one situations on the outside. Because

16:45

it's not just the four horsemen. It's Josh

16:47

Reynolds, it's Anthony Ferkser, it's

16:50

Darrenton Evans, who, by the way, has had another good week.

16:52

There are other receivers that potentially

16:54

can get into the act, other tight ends that can

16:56

get into the act. So I think that's

16:59

that's the biggest thing that the Titans

17:01

have going for them. Now, please take

17:04

this from the point of love, Okay,

17:07

don't get real caught up in what the offense

17:09

looks like in the preseason. Please

17:12

don't, please don't say, oh,

17:14

Todd Downing runs a boring offense,

17:17

because A, I don't think you're gonna

17:19

see many of those guys very much. You

17:22

may see him some, but I don't. I don't think you're going to see

17:24

him a whole lot. Secondly, they're

17:27

not gonna show anything formationally,

17:30

and so they're not gonna scheme. They're gonna

17:32

get out there and they're gonna run plays. And the

17:35

reason that they're going to do that is to give

17:37

Evans plays at tailback, to

17:40

give Marcus Johnson plays at wide

17:42

receiver, to give Chester Rogers

17:44

plays at wide receiver, Des Fitzpatrick,

17:46

Racy McMath. You know all of

17:48

those guys, Nick Westbrook,

17:51

Akina, Tommy Hudson's

17:54

it's probably not gonna be dramatically

17:56

sexy in terms of all the running

17:59

and jumping in the formations and things like

18:01

that. So kind of hang on to

18:04

your viewpoint. But to answer your question,

18:06

towards September twelfth against Arizona,

18:09

I think that's gonna be a tough decision for Arizona.

18:12

I agree, Mike. Here is another

18:14

otp Q from Pearson.

18:17

He's from Clarksville, Tennessee. I know how to say that.

18:20

He says, from what we have seen

18:22

of Racy McMath in training

18:24

camp, is there a possibility that he could

18:27

assume more of a tight end

18:29

role for the Titans. It's a great

18:31

question. And do you know that I

18:33

actually asked that question of Mike

18:35

de Tilier when the Titans drafted

18:38

him. Mike D is in Louisiana.

18:41

He is best friends with Edozeron. They

18:44

grew up together, and so nobody

18:46

knows more about LSU football on

18:49

the outside than Mike D and

18:51

so I asked him that very question. Could you

18:53

add weight to this player and

18:56

have him be a tight end? Eventually, he said absolutely

18:58

not. He said he's a wide receiver, and in

19:00

watching him while,

19:03

I think he will continue to

19:06

develop and grow and he might

19:08

gain some weight naturally just as

19:10

he gets a little bit older. No, I don't think

19:12

so. I think the tight

19:14

end the Titans are going to use as a wide

19:17

receiver will be Firk Sir. So

19:20

if Racy plays wide

19:23

out this year, and I think it's going to be

19:25

hard for him to crack the rotation based

19:28

on what the Titans have barring injury

19:30

of course, and knocking on wood. What I'm excited

19:32

about with Racy is he's

19:35

with big receivers who know

19:37

how to do it, so he's going

19:39

to learn a lot of tricks from

19:41

the guys that he's playing with. Great

19:43

thing. The other thing, too, is I compare

19:46

him to a Moni hooker, And

19:48

what I mean by that is he's

19:51

a player that is probably going to get

19:53

a year or two to

19:55

develop. He'll probably play

19:57

some special teams, he may play situation,

20:00

he may get in games, you know a

20:02

little bit. But he's

20:05

got that upside and I think he's

20:07

going to have time to explore

20:09

that upside. People are really excited

20:11

about him, and I get it, but

20:15

kind of slow your role just a little bit and

20:18

give him some time. I you

20:20

know, if if he ends up Rookie of the Year,

20:23

that'd be great, but I don't

20:25

think he's probably destined for a

20:28

role that would give him that at least

20:30

right now. That may change.

20:33

Yeah, I think that. I like

20:35

the fact that he's got time to develop. That excites

20:37

me. Yeah, I think I think you're right

20:40

on that. Mike. I haven't, I know, I

20:42

don't. I don't say two. Yeah, I

20:46

have another one here. This is from my friend

20:48

Clifton. Clifton

20:50

and I need you to hang with me. Okay, this is

20:52

a statement sort

20:54

of, so he wants to know if he's on

20:56

the right track here with this. He's hearing

20:58

a lot on who benefits

21:01

most from us getting Julio? Okay,

21:03

with one man, can he get

21:05

us to the super Bowl? This is what

21:08

Clifton thinks. Okay, he makes

21:10

every person better offense

21:13

and defense because on offense

21:15

with him now they have to respect

21:17

all receivers, not load

21:19

the box, which is easier on the

21:22

line and opens up more for

21:24

Tanny to bust them up.

21:27

Bust them up. Adrian defense

21:30

will more than likely have less

21:32

time on the field that keeps them

21:34

fresh. Tutta, what

21:37

do you think? I think he's dead on. Yeah,

21:39

I think And you know, that's what coach Mack said. Coach

21:42

Mack felt like when we

21:44

asked him right after Julio came in. Dave

21:46

McGinnis said, the offensive line is

21:49

the one who benefits because it backs people

21:51

off, and that benefits

21:53

Henry, that benefits Tanny Hill. I

21:56

think he's right, and it affects

21:58

the defense too because and if you can go

22:00

score, I mean, this team didn't play defense

22:03

very well last year and still won eleven games

22:05

because the offense could score, right,

22:07

you know, the whole the whole thing is

22:10

if this defense can take

22:13

the opponent's third down percentage,

22:16

which was over fifty percent conversions

22:18

last year, first team in NFL

22:21

history to make the playoffs

22:23

allowing over fifty percent opponent

22:25

third down conversions. If that number

22:27

drops below forty, if

22:30

it's thirty nine percent, this

22:32

team's gonna be really good. That is

22:35

a That is a big stat, all

22:37

things being equal, if that number

22:39

drops under forty.

22:42

Now, it'd be great if it was thirty five or thirty

22:44

or even little, but I'm just saying under forty,

22:47

then that means you're getting the ball back

22:49

for the offense more and more

22:51

quickly. So yeah, I think

22:54

that's dead on Julio Jones.

22:56

Trading for him help this entire football

22:59

team. It helped Racy McMath. It's

23:02

a confidence boost overall. And

23:05

when he went down the other day in practice,

23:07

two defensive backs are running over to help him

23:09

up because they get

23:11

that he's a big part of what we want to do and

23:13

they get who he is. You

23:16

know that that this is a guy who's going to the

23:18

Hall of Fame someday. There's so much

23:20

respect for him on this ball club. There's so

23:22

much excitement even within the walls

23:25

about him. That's a it's a big deal. The

23:28

thing that makes Mike Keith so great at what

23:30

he does is he gave a very serious

23:32

answer to a question that ended in

23:34

tada, like that was the end

23:36

of it, ta tada, And

23:39

you gave a real answer to that, and I

23:41

think that's a great I have one more because

23:43

I want to coach up my friend Namesh a little

23:45

bit. Because Namesh sent

23:48

a question sort of. All

23:50

he said was OTP, which

23:53

I really oh he submitted, submitted

23:55

otp at otp q thattp.

23:59

It just said, and I really appreciate

24:01

it. And I'm there with you a Namesh. I want to give

24:03

you another chance because what I'm gonna need is a question

24:06

or even a statement or heck a tadah.

24:09

We really like all of those things. I'm gonna

24:12

need a little bit more. But do you think do

24:14

you think he's like my dad? And he sent

24:17

it before he had finished actually

24:19

got it in right, very possible, which

24:21

is why I want to give another shot. Come

24:24

because my dad will just send words and

24:27

he will not realize that then

24:29

he sent it already, and then he doesn't send

24:31

the rest of it right, and it

24:33

doesn't make any sense. That is why this

24:35

is my call to namesh

24:38

give us the question. Try again. You were

24:40

close. You got your words in the right spot.

24:42

If yeah,

24:45

I mean we got something in the

24:47

form, we got sent to the right person. You're

24:49

one percent there. Do it again, get

24:52

the full question right. I'm glad he wasn't like submitting

24:54

a draft pick on draft night though, me

24:56

too. It's like and the Tennessee Titans

24:59

select linebacker. But

25:04

that's okay. No, we're

25:06

shouting out. We're shouting out because

25:08

we love you. I want that's

25:11

what we're doing because we want you to come back.

25:13

We want you to be the comeback OTP

25:16

Q of the year. I want to know what the question

25:18

wants because with that much effort,

25:21

there was something there and I want to know what it is.

25:23

So this is my public cry, come

25:25

back, no mess. I got to do a couple of things here

25:27

before we go with this OTP

25:29

remind everybody the open practice

gonna want to see this football team. And I know we

29:26

say it a lot, but like we really mean

29:29

it this time, really really

29:31

do not mean misleading you. Like maybe

29:34

some years, um, just

29:37

because we work for the team, go see

29:41

Rocky one or two or

29:44

three years, don't don't see the fifth

29:46

one. For the love of God, don't see five.

29:48

That's not great, even though I like Tommy

29:51

Morrison's a nice guy. Interviewed him, really nice guy.

29:53

I think he still lives in Tennessee. By the way, why

29:55

did you interview him? He was

29:57

a heavyweight fighter, Tommy Morrison

29:59

was, and he got selected to

30:01

play Tommy Gunn in the movie. The

30:04

movie was not his fault. It was just

30:06

a bad idea. That's a really

30:09

informative story. Doesn't give me any clarity

30:11

as to why you were talking to him because

30:13

he was training in Knoxville. He trained

30:15

in Knoxville. Last time I heard I think he was living in

30:18

Cookeville. Really, Yeah,

30:21

his fighting career is obviously way over.

30:24

No, No, I don't think that's Larry

30:27

Stone. Maybe

30:30

you could take out Larry Stone. There are

30:33

we done? I think we're very

30:36

done. Training camp has really said it has

30:38

again solidly in week two.

30:41

30:43

training camp coming up. Tennessee

30:57
