Speaker 2 (00:12):
We Got Lots.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Just we got lots.

Speaker 4 (00:20):
Were here and we hope you say because we got lost.

Speaker 5 (00:24):
Just say.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Yeah, we got lots.

Speaker 6 (00:28):
Just say.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Here's Bobby that hey welcome. You know, sometimes you just
go too hard and our guy here just went too hard.

Speaker 7 (00:39):
I didn't. Yeah, I think Vegas caught up Tony from
last week.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Vegas always catches up with everybody, and it's a mix
because you get out there in that heat and those
sand allergies what I call them so dry. It just
kills you.

Speaker 8 (00:53):
And my lips were so chapped, and it's almost embarrassing
because you guys sit.

Speaker 7 (00:56):
Down and talk to people and you're going like this,
You're like, don't like your lips again, don't like.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
And it also feels weird to put on chapstake, Like
I don't claim to be the most mass skilling guy ever.

Speaker 7 (01:06):
I am not.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
However, putting on chapstick feels like I'm putting on lipstick.
It does, and if I do it, I try to
do it when no one's looking at me, and so yeah, well.

Speaker 7 (01:16):
You know what you look good. Yeah, I feel fine. No,
I don't. I feel awful.

Speaker 8 (01:22):
I've been up coughing all night, trying to get the
demons out, as I like to say. But at the
same time, you know, you know what's better than chapstick?
And I tried this just because it was the only
thing that I found in my wife's saying lip bomb.

Speaker 7 (01:34):
They've got like that glossy.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Lip bomb that you mightst say, tampons, Well, never tried
one of those.

Speaker 7 (01:39):
I thought that would have been interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
I've had a yes many times. Yeah, And the kind
that works are the because you have to like break
the stick. Yes, you got to get the phone out,
the foam up there. Yeah, I've done that a few times. Okay,
look we're here.

Speaker 7 (01:54):
We sure are.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Not only that you came back from Vegas went right
to training camp.

Speaker 7 (01:58):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
So we're outside sweating our face off there.

Speaker 7 (02:00):
Man, it was hot out there, wasn't it was.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
It was brutal, and so we're going to actually go
back and play some of the cool off. We did
a training camp first, we'll do us sitting with Ian Rapp,
report of the rap Sheet of NFL Network, really one
of my favorite insiders, and so let's start with us.
I would say backstage, but I guess it's not really
a stage.

Speaker 7 (02:20):
That was not a stage that was a mini like
Janitor's classm.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yeah. Yeah, we're like underneath the stadium because it was
so loud on the stadium. This is us with Ian Rapport.
I feel like if I were to watch Cosso paint,
that'd be pretty cool. I'm watching Ian Rapport tweet right now.

Speaker 9 (02:39):
I know it is it is too.

Speaker 10 (02:41):
Yes, finish your tweet, because you know we see it
from the other side.

Speaker 9 (02:44):
We see it from the other side, and we're always.

Speaker 11 (02:46):
Be tweeting it. I'm just I'm just getting ready prepared
because you know, you get the ghost sign and you
got to be ready to hit the sends. I'm getting ready,
so you guys can talk and I'll keep typing.

Speaker 7 (02:55):
You're seeing a professor at work.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
We are at Titans camp today, so if you're watching this,
one of the bowels of the stadium. We thought we'd
be on the football field, but they wouldn't turn the
music off, which I guess a little a little much
for us to ask to turning music down.

Speaker 7 (03:08):
Yeah, and it.

Speaker 6 (03:08):
Also was family day, so everybody's out there. You got
kids running around. It's a little bit chaotic. So yeah,
we're back here.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I would like for you to tell the story because
we were out and I'd asked you if you'd ever
held before, meaning uh, on field on special team?

Speaker 10 (03:22):
Yeah, and you had, you have a history of holding.
Did you ever do it in high school?

Speaker 8 (03:26):
Though? No?

Speaker 6 (03:27):
I actually kicked Pat's in high school, no way, And
I punted, believe it or not.

Speaker 10 (03:31):
And you played quarterback and safety. Did you ever play
d for you?

Speaker 7 (03:34):
Did?

Speaker 9 (03:35):
I was you knows?

Speaker 10 (03:36):
Never came off firstatile in college? Did you ever hold?

Speaker 7 (03:40):
Uh?

Speaker 9 (03:40):
College, I was always the backup holder.

Speaker 6 (03:42):
I didn't have to, But I actually didn't have to
hold because I actually was on a special team's unit.
I played on kickoff and kickoff return my junior year.
So myself in linear battled out long story short. Midway
through that season, Lineard's doing pretty well, you know, heading
up the Heisman Trophy race and all that stuff, and
so we had some injuries. They switched me to tight end.
Well they when you switch a tight end, you don't

(04:03):
just play tight end. You are on all the special
teams units. So I'm on special teams kickoff, I'm in
the wedge on the return team and just getting.

Speaker 11 (04:12):
So listeners are like, what's the wedge.

Speaker 6 (04:14):
The wedge is like when you you're the last line
of defense before you actually get to the returner. So
that means everybody that from that kickoff line coming at
you gets the full head of steam because nobody touches
them by the time they.

Speaker 9 (04:25):
Reach you, and you just get blown up.

Speaker 10 (04:27):
You're sacrificial wedge buster, sacrificial lee.

Speaker 9 (04:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (04:31):
It was brutal, but in terms of holding, it was
my second year in New England. Josh Miller goes down.
He's our punter who's also our primary holder. He gets
his shoulder hurt. I'm thrown into holding. Well, this is
during like now our playoff runt our. First game right
before playoffs was in Jacksonville. It's downpour. I just put

(04:51):
the ball down, laces toward the kicker, Steven Goaskowski kicks
it in laces in, No laces out right, O, no
laces in laces in so like it was a hunter. Yeah,
and I've worked it, but look when it's storming, you know,
you just to do what you gotta do.

Speaker 7 (05:06):
Well.

Speaker 6 (05:07):
I ended up holding throughout the playoffs, go all the
way through the AFC championship against the Colts, and that
year was a year that Romo mess and fubbed up
that one in.

Speaker 9 (05:17):
Set lost the playoff game.

Speaker 6 (05:19):
So that's in the back of my mind the entire
time during playoffs, just more more stressful than even playing quarterback.

Speaker 11 (05:25):
Well here here's what's interesting to me. So like holder
is a great job because you really don't have to
do anything. Like you do it enough. It's probably pretty easy.
You get to have like the celebratory handshake or headbutt
with the kicker. Oh yeah, maybe they jump into your
arms like there's some great moments. But on the off chance,
you you know, Romo it like, that's bad. So I
feel like risk reward, that's worth it to do it,

(05:47):
but not a slam dunk it is.

Speaker 6 (05:49):
Luckily it was an opener, and I actually they started
a year off the next year with me as the holder.
First one exactly what you're saying. Came in hot Lonnie
Paxson had through a heavy ball and I fumbled it.
I yell, so you yell fire right. It was a release,
So I'm trying to run outside the pocket. I get
absolutely lambasted. Like coaches like what happened. I was like

(06:09):
I think it was a little low. They watched the film.
It's like hitting me right there.

Speaker 9 (06:11):
He's like, you're out.

Speaker 10 (06:12):
I was like, yes, I have a buddy who was
a deep snapper.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
And two years ago the Cowboys picked Hm up last
minute and so he goes in I like three days notice,
and so we're excited because he's the guy. And first
snap right over the head, first snap, The risk was
much heavier than the award on that.

Speaker 10 (06:31):
To no, he stayed next and had a good season.

Speaker 9 (06:32):
Oh good for him.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
They had to have a deep snapper, so I guess,
you know, you kind of don't go to three or
four after that.

Speaker 6 (06:38):
I mean, but that is a tough position, man, because
you only get noticed as if you mess up. If
you just do your job the normal way, nobody's ever
going to say anything to you. It's you're not gonna
get any of the limelight unless you kick the game
winning field goal. But the long snapper's not for the
sequencing before that, right, it's just the kicker that's going
to get the glory.

Speaker 10 (06:57):
And thanks for coming by.

Speaker 11 (06:58):
How many of these do you see you?

Speaker 9 (07:00):
Sorry?

Speaker 11 (07:00):
I thought you were saying goodbye.

Speaker 10 (07:01):
You know, it's been fine.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Thank you.

Speaker 10 (07:03):
For the time. How many of these camps do you do?

Speaker 11 (07:06):
I think it'll be like sixteen.

Speaker 10 (07:08):
And do you stay on the road.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah, it's like an artist. You're like a like a
rock artist, not even like a country artist. Or if
like I'm touring, if I'm doing stand up, I come
home during the week and I do Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

Speaker 11 (07:19):
No, it's it's I got my suitcase over there. I
got like six changes of clothes. I will I got
some washer sheets if you got to wash something in
the sink, but you try to find like a washing
fold where you can go, like stop by before practice,
wash all your stuff, pick them up after practice, go right.
I go from here, I'm going right to the airport.
Like that's what it's like.

Speaker 10 (07:40):
You're like Green Day and ninety five touring.

Speaker 11 (07:43):
Just create out the talent, just out the talent.

Speaker 10 (07:45):
Well, let's talk about a couple of things here.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Cam Ord I had mentioned earlier the expectation the last
couple of years has changed with rookie quarterbacks because.

Speaker 10 (07:53):
We saw c. J.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Stroud do it, we saw Jade and Daniels do it,
but again they had pretty good supporting casts.

Speaker 10 (07:59):
What is the ceiling for cam ord this year.

Speaker 11 (08:02):
You know, I look at this place and I look
at the Commanders last year, and I think the Commanders
probably were a little more stable and had a little
more talent than this team, but like not not significant,
you know, like in the ballpark, and maybe you have
some players who play a little better than are being expected,
so maybe the talent is somewhat similar, like if Jade

(08:22):
Daniels can come in and lead that team to the playoffs.
Then considering the expectations of cam Wood, considering what I've
heard today talking to coaches, players, people who are around them
all the time, executives, like you know, the expectations are
really high, and they have been more than pleased with
what they've seen. Like you know, this team will have

(08:43):
the chance to win some games, will it. I don't know.
Commanders needed a bunch of help too, needed a hell
Mary and a lot of stuff. But like, I don't like,
I'd be surprised if this team is at least not
a lot better than last year.

Speaker 9 (08:54):
As a number one pick in the draft.

Speaker 6 (08:55):
With when you think about Cam wod, is he the
least talked about number one draft pick.

Speaker 11 (09:00):
That he's boring?

Speaker 6 (09:01):
Yeah, in recent history, like there's not not any excitement
or on a movie in the city there is, but everybody.

Speaker 7 (09:08):
Nobody talks about cam Morton.

Speaker 11 (09:10):
I get it. I covered him extensively in the draft.
I had a lot of conversations about cam Ward, and
when it came time to really report on him, there
wasn't a ton to say. It's a great kid who's
raised right it she met his dad out here on
the field, he works incredibly hard. He's a great student,
He's really smart. He's kind of cold blooded on the field.

(09:30):
Teammates love him. He wakes up early, he stays late.
He organized his own meetings. Like there's not like a
lot of discussion that he had, Like what's to talk about?

Speaker 7 (09:39):
Yeah, we need him to do something bad.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
The only thing that made the news was him being
on a live stream talking about how really was like
his favorite receiver of all time. Like he was even
saying the things right while he was on a live stream.

Speaker 11 (09:48):
And like knowing that now, like that makes sense, Like
nothing is by accident, everything is calculated. He has seems
to have incredible awareness on the field. You knew you
could see it today. There's a couple of plays you're like,
oh boy, and then off the field obviously too, so
like that's some good awareness. That's like, that's real stuff.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Let's do five questions with the end. We'll just rotate.
I'll go first. Aaron Rodgers. I watched him throw today
just on Twitter. What's the ceiling for Pittsburgh this year?

Speaker 11 (10:19):
I mean, if Rogers is the same Aaron Rodgers he
was at the end of last year for the Jets,
they could be really good. Now. Like you know, older quarterbacks,
you get lower leg injuries, Like those things don't go away.
So like if he tweaks an anko or hurts a
hamstring or a calf, like you know, he's old, He's
like us. He's old, so you know, those things take
a while to heal. But if he's healthy, they could

(10:41):
be as good as they could be good. I mean,
because that defense is good. They got some weapons, like
they could be good.

Speaker 6 (10:47):
Expectations for Ben Johnson his first year with Chicago and
Caleb Williams going into his second season.

Speaker 11 (10:52):
I mean, for Caleb Williams, it is going to be
a challenge, like he is going to be coached very hard.
I think he wants it, which a lot of people
can say, but you know, you don't you've been coached hard,
Like it's not the most fun thing of all the time.

Speaker 9 (11:06):
You don't sometimes want to hear it.

Speaker 11 (11:08):
Right, So that's what it's going to be. Like, I
think they'll be better, you know, could they be a
playoff team?

Speaker 12 (11:14):
Like?

Speaker 11 (11:14):
I think they could, but it's gonna be a challenge.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones does this thing mostly preseason. He's
talking a lot. It's not just after games, He's talking
pretty much every day. He says he thought about for
a second and not being the general manager. There's no
chance of that happening while he's alive, right, No.

Speaker 11 (11:32):
Nope, I mean he bought the team to be the GM. Now.
It's funny you say that though, because like they're an
incredibly well run football team. They really are, Like Stephen
Jones and Will McLay have done an incredible job of drafting, developing,
setting it infrastructure, having a place where players can come
in and contribute to media. Like, I know, last year
was bad. Coaching wise, last year was not good. They're

(11:56):
a very well run organization. So like do they take
extra time to do contracts? Like, yeah, they do, But otherwise,
like I think they're I think Jerry being the GM
or not, They've actually done a pretty nice job for
the Patriots.

Speaker 6 (12:12):
Mike Rabel, is this a team that could potentially push
to get a wild card spot or push into the
playoffs this year?

Speaker 11 (12:17):
Yeah, I would think so, because like the best thing
Vrabel's gonna do is he's gonna make sure, like the
bottom thirty guys are better. They're all gonna get a
little bit better. They're gonna work a little harder, they
can know what they're doing. They're all gonna get.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
A little bit better.

Speaker 11 (12:29):
And like that's how you that's how you have a
good special teams. That's how you have good depth. So
like in November, when the fifth linebacker's playing like he's
gonna know what he's doing, you know. So, like I
think they'll be a little bit better, and the quarterback
could be really good, like really good. So that's you know,
they should be like competing for a playoff spot and

(12:50):
then when it comes down to it, we'll see if
they get.

Speaker 7 (12:52):
It or not.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Last question, most most years is a team that doesn't
make the playoffs that ends up doing really well. Who's
that team this year that's probably gonna jump?

Speaker 11 (13:03):
You know, the Raiders. I think have a chance. They
got a quarterback now who's who's good is more than good.
And I think Pete Carroll, you know, based on the
way he'll help the culture there and you know the
way he'll kind of just get him going in the
right direction with a little bit of optimism and excitement.

(13:25):
I mean, I think they have a chance to be
much better than last year.

Speaker 10 (13:29):
And appreciate the time. Another shirt to watching the scene.
Yes they're fans.

Speaker 11 (13:35):
Thank you, Thank you guys.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
All right after we finished with the end. We were
lucky enough that Tony Pollard came by. Antony Pollard had
his first year with Titans. Last year before that was
the Dallas Cowboys, split some time with Zeke you know,
not big of a dude.

Speaker 8 (14:06):
It wasn't that big a deal, dude, But what a
cool story, right, Yeah, because the story about him going
being recruited to college as a wide receiver and making
that trendes into running back his junior year in college
and then going to the Dallas Cowboys backing up Ezekiel Elliott,
getting some time and just working his way into being
the number one guy, and then finally coming to the

(14:27):
Tennessee Titans. Really cool story and really good player gives
hope to a guy like me. I can still make it.

Speaker 7 (14:33):
You can still make it.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Like when I say not big, mostly I just mean
like not he's not super tall, but he's definitely you
would see him and think that's an athlete in something.

Speaker 7 (14:44):
But I don't know.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
Running backs now have to take so much abuse that
I expected. I guess another forty pounds on just any
generic NFL running.

Speaker 8 (14:52):
Back, right, But I think that part of his game
too is he's making people miss.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
And why I can do it.

Speaker 7 (14:57):
I think he's making people miss.

Speaker 8 (14:59):
He's got value in the past game because he obviously
can be a guy that comes out of the backfield,
catches the and get.

Speaker 7 (15:05):
You yardage there.

Speaker 8 (15:07):
But he's also one of those guys the last two
seasons head over a thousand yards, so he's proven that
he can run inside the tackles.

Speaker 7 (15:13):
Well.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Here he is. I actually loved hanging out with him.
Here is Tony Pollard. What happens out there today a
day like today, because you guys didn't have pads on,
but it looked like you were making a little bit
of contact, Like what's the stop rule?

Speaker 13 (15:30):
I mean today is pretty much how we've been doing
it at the facility of practicing. You know, we're not
in past yet, so it's just it's pretty much like
a light tap off. You know, we had the spiders
on that were kind of padded, so yeah, just just running,
trying to get yourself a position and then tag off
on help if you can, and.

Speaker 9 (15:47):
Then just let the guy run by.

Speaker 6 (15:49):
When you go through these practices, like you said, you're
in shells and doing all this stuff, when do you
really finally start to feel that contact.

Speaker 9 (15:55):
Is it not until week one or you know, preseason.

Speaker 6 (15:57):
Obviously you get a little bit of that, but it's
a different scenario when somebody's actually trying to tackle you.

Speaker 13 (16:03):
I would say, count, you know, count. Once we get
into pasts, that's when you know we're really playing football.
Like today, it's really hard to you know, just to
run the ball on the day like today without pass
everybody slippery, sweaty. But once we get in camp, you know,
once we get to traveling, you know, playing other teams
scrimmage and other teams like that, that's when we're really
getting into playing football.

Speaker 10 (16:23):
Getting ready for the year.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
When do you start training hard and then do you
taper off before you get started again? Like what is
preparation like before the year starts.

Speaker 13 (16:32):
I mean, after the season, it's probably best to take
a few weeks off, probably take like a month off,
you know, just let your body recover from whatever injuries
you were dealing with, and uh, once you're feeling healthy
to get back to it, get back to working out.
Then you got OTAs, you got mini camp. Then after
that you get a month. So I would say like
during that month, you probably take like a week off,
week and a half, and then you're back to it

(16:53):
getting to the ground. So when you come in for camp,
you know you want to hit the.

Speaker 10 (16:55):
Ground rolling, Like what do you do for your body?

Speaker 7 (16:59):
Red light?

Speaker 3 (16:59):
You're doing?

Speaker 10 (17:00):
Cry out, Like what is it? That's what I want
to do, and you're trying to steal yourself.

Speaker 13 (17:05):
Actually, I'm a I'm an old school type of guy.
Like I love cold hot tub, you know, I love
doing contrast, you know, getting in their treatment. You know,
I've I've been doing a lot of prehab, you know,
not waiting until I get an injury, you know, just
just working things before, you know, doing ankle mobility things
like that, you know, just working little things. You know,
I'm big on the cold, hot tub. I feel like

(17:26):
that's the biggest.

Speaker 7 (17:27):
Thing for me.

Speaker 6 (17:28):
You've got a new offense coordinator, Nick Holts. How much
does this offensive scheme change from what you guys are
doing last year?

Speaker 13 (17:34):
Honestly, it hasn't changed much, just just certain ways that
you know, we want to just do what we're good at.
You know, we're gonna run a lot of play action,
you know, with the quarterback that we have, you know,
cam Ward, a guy that is able to you know,
get the ball all around the field, make all types
of plays that you know aren't called in the playbook. So,
you know, just trying to not do too much different,
but just just stick to what we're good at and mastered.

Speaker 10 (17:57):
You have Cartoon Network totch you on your knee?

Speaker 7 (17:59):
Is that that?

Speaker 8 (17:59):
This is?

Speaker 3 (17:59):
I see?

Speaker 13 (18:00):
I do it was It's pretty much like a legs
leave of everything I used to watch growing up.

Speaker 10 (18:05):
What what else do you have? I see Cartoon Network.

Speaker 9 (18:07):
I got Dragon ball Z. I got Tom and Jerry.

Speaker 13 (18:12):
Don't go up, John, that's awesome, dude, I got the
Ruts Scooby Doo on the back.

Speaker 10 (18:20):
What was the first one?

Speaker 8 (18:21):
Like?

Speaker 10 (18:21):
What started that?

Speaker 9 (18:23):
Actually?

Speaker 13 (18:23):
It was it was I got it when I was
in Dallas, and uh, that was like, you know, it
was a big thing going around with guys. We're getting
you know, the big tattoos and you know, getting put
down so they could just get it all done.

Speaker 9 (18:34):
Andy want. So that was kind of how.

Speaker 10 (18:35):
Wait did you go to they put you down?

Speaker 9 (18:36):
Like they put you to sleep? I was gonna ask
you what was paint for one or there?

Speaker 7 (18:40):
You even know?

Speaker 3 (18:41):
I woke They did all that in one Wow.

Speaker 10 (18:43):
How long were you asleep?

Speaker 9 (18:45):
Eighteen hours?

Speaker 13 (18:47):
Yeah, something like that, about about twelve wow, twelve fourteen hours?

Speaker 3 (18:52):
And then you could you take a shower for like
a week after that? It was a wrapped in cellophane
because I have something I showered.

Speaker 13 (18:57):
It just was like a yeah, just let the water
run on the David to I.

Speaker 6 (19:04):
Love watching you play cause I think you're one of
these dynamic backs that not just can do it as
a runner, but you take a lot of pride in
the past game.

Speaker 9 (19:11):
And I saw that.

Speaker 6 (19:12):
You grew up and you actually went to college as
a receiver, right, and you made that transition to running
back your junior year. Yeah, talk to me about that
and was that a tough transition or is that just
something because of your experience in the return game and
carrying the ball, that that was an easy transition for you.

Speaker 9 (19:29):
It wasn't tough at all.

Speaker 13 (19:30):
I grew up my whole life playing running back, you know,
so running back is pretty much it's second nature to me.
You know, it's natural for me. It was my twelfth
grade year in high school. That's when I went to receiver,
my first time playing receiver. Then when I got to college.
When I came to college, I was I was playing receiver.
My first coach was justin for wine my red search year,
and then he left. And then that next year, coach

(19:53):
Mike Norvel came in and he moved me back to
running back. And then I would meet with the running backs,
you know in the meeting rooms and things like that.

Speaker 9 (20:02):
But once we got the practice and we did like
one on.

Speaker 13 (20:05):
One one as I would go down with the receivers
and do it all the one on ones with the receivers,
and like, depending on the weeks, I switch. Sometimes I
go through the you know, the box reels, you know,
do the inside run down there with the running back,
O line, D line.

Speaker 9 (20:18):
Sometimes I go through the one on ones with the
receivers and.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Wow, last question, you had three thousand yard seasons in
a row. When you look at goals, is a yardage
game based? Yardage season based? Like what are goals for you?

Speaker 13 (20:32):
I want to get better every year, no numbers wise,
you know, just trying to up the numbers every year.
You know, I'm I don't feel like I'm on the dcline,
you know, honestly, I feel like I came in like
I didn't. I wasn't the normal back that you know,
get the normal wear and tear to get their body
beat up my first few years, so I had a
chance to you know, sit behind a great back, but
also get a good amount of experience and you know,

(20:55):
get a feel for the game without just getting my
body into a beat up. So now I'm at the
point of where, you know, I feel like I'm I'm
my prime when I'm ready to keep people.

Speaker 10 (21:02):
I'm trying to appreciate everything the time I.

Speaker 9 (21:04):
Appreciated man, Thank you, You'll get.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Next up. We talked with Special Teams coordinator Coach Fossil
aka bones as they call them, which makes sense because
the fossil is the bone.

Speaker 8 (21:19):
Yes, it does make sense, and he does look like
a lot of skin and bones.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
He does, but he's very tall.

Speaker 7 (21:24):
He is tall, isn't he?

Speaker 3 (21:25):
And his dad is.

Speaker 7 (21:26):
Who Jim Fossil?

Speaker 3 (21:28):
That's right.

Speaker 7 (21:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Did you know that Kevin?

Speaker 10 (21:30):
I did just because the research I did.

Speaker 7 (21:32):
Yeah, I'm glad that you do your research.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
His dad is coach Jim Fossil, so here. He is
the special teams coordinator for the Titans.

Speaker 6 (21:39):
Coach Fossil so regarded by many as one of the
best special teams, if not the best special team coach
in the entire NFL. Coach John Fossil, thank you for
being with us today on the Bobby Bone Show.

Speaker 9 (21:50):
How was it out there, Bobby Bones back Castle?

Speaker 12 (21:53):
Lots of same Yeah, Hey, anything for a Bones yeah
and other bones.

Speaker 10 (21:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (21:59):
Talk to me about So you got here, and obviously
special teams was an issue for this team and you
probably went and evaluated what's some of the main things
that you're focused on this year with your units?

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah? Great, call, mat.

Speaker 12 (22:12):
I mean, you know, so I got hot in January
and I was a new guy, so in OTA's you know,
I'm introducing and acclimating myself to the guys that we're
already here. And I watched the little tape and you know,
last year. I knew some things that happened, the good
and the not so good. But what I've tried to
just really work hard on so far in OTA's and
training camp is just honestly the base fundamentals pump protection,

(22:33):
block destruction, blocking, penalty free, trying to create a super
competitive environment where the goal is just make sure, fellows,
we're winning or one on ones, and here's the tools
to do that. And if we all do that, then
we're gonna have good plays.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
But that's what it is.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
Are you ever in the head coach's ear when he's
debating on what going for that sixty four yarkfield goal?

Speaker 10 (22:52):
Like, I know we got this coach, I know, Like,
are you a part of that?

Speaker 6 (22:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (22:56):
Yeah, So the last couple of years in Dallas, you know,
we had a couple of strong lady kickers, especially the
last two years, and you know, we always come out
pregame and say, hey, are yard line is the forty
or the forty one, forty two? We gotta get to
that yard line for the field goal, and then you
know it's fourth down or on the forty four yard
line and I'm like, let's kick a field goal, and
they're like that's not the why we agreed to, you know,

(23:17):
and then we kick it remake and I'm like, yeah,
so it's talked about before, but in game there's always
a little bit of adjustment. And I always like to
keep the field goals for points, you know, knowing the
cost of a miss, but still trying to worry about that.
Just look at three points on the board and big
plays and you know, big field goals are a great
momentum us when the sideline sets, your kicker knock it
in from sixty three.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Like it's a big play.

Speaker 6 (23:40):
You've been coaching for a really long time, obviously, there's
been a lot of rule changes that have taken place
over your time coaching. Probably the most significant recently is
the kickoff. Or have you been in favor of that?
Is that something that you like or is it just
something that you think that the game has evolved?

Speaker 12 (23:54):
Yeah, I love it, And yeah before it went in
about a year two before it went in, when the
XFL started running it and we were kind of like,
you know, put the fair catch in on kick return.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
We didn't like that.

Speaker 12 (24:04):
So there's a kind of a small committee special teams
coaches that we're kind of talking with the NFL about well,
what can we do to make the play safer and better?
And so we thought we had a good model with
the XFL used and we kind of tweaked it to
make it our own.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
But I love it for multiple reasons.

Speaker 12 (24:19):
I think it's a better play, and it's definitely a
safer play. It's a lot better play to practice because
you don't have the length of running the high speeder running,
and the collisions are a little bit lower because it's
just immediate five yard combat, so.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
It just gets right to the action a lot faster.

Speaker 12 (24:34):
I think the players love it, and as a coach,
I'm a huge fan of it because it's gonna put
the ball and play a little bit more and it's
just it's just action right now. So it's going to
be really healthy for the league as I think everybody
kind of grows on it.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Do you look for different players now, different types of
players to actually be on let's take the kickoff unit,
because earlier Matt was talking about being in the wedge.

Speaker 10 (24:54):
In college, you had to be in the wedge.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
And there was a wedge buster, which you put me
in the wedge.

Speaker 10 (24:57):
But there's no wedge now, right like you're looking for,
you would not be a wedge guy, but.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
Thank you coach Carrol put in the wedge. And I
was on kickoff at like number three in my junior
area and I was like, what, coach, are you evaluating
evaluating me wrong?

Speaker 9 (25:09):
I don't I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
That'd be just practice. I'm sure you any the.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Same kind of maniacs running down or are you looking
for a different type of player?

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Now, yeah, that's a great question.

Speaker 12 (25:17):
And we thought that putting this new kickoff in you
would need a little different body type, whether it's the bigger,
longer pass rusher type body that might be kind of
does away with maybe the smaller, faster penetrator. But as
we found out over this past year, it still applies
for everybody. And so you're still at the mercy of
the forty eight guys you dress on game day, but

(25:37):
the same body types that were in the old kickoff
and kickoff return you still use them equally the same
because there's still strength and weaknesses. There's there's still room
for the penetrators, uh, and there's definitely still room for
the big guys that they don't have to run maybe
like they used to. So It's been a really cool
evolution over one year to kind of think of what
we thought was going to be good, and then after

(25:59):
a year's worth of doing it, like what, it's not
exactly what we thought. This is a little bit better,
a little bit of a change. So long answer to
a simple question is it's built for every body type
and every player if they got the mindset and kind
of a little bit of that reckless attitude.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
With a little bit of technique involved.

Speaker 6 (26:16):
You Can you talk about the mindset of these guys
on special teams because I played with some great ones
Matthew Slater, Larry Is of some of these guys that were.

Speaker 9 (26:23):
Lifetime special teams. That's how they made their money.

Speaker 6 (26:26):
But it takes a particular mindset and human to run
down a field full blast, put their body in harm's
way every single time. Can you talk about how you
teach that or do you have to find that in
those guys and how how do you go to the
head coach and said, we got to keep this guy. Yeah,
because the value that he adds will be on special teams,
but that's going to be very valuable going down the road.

Speaker 12 (26:47):
Yeah, it's awesome, So of course I coach special teams.
I'm super biased, but I just love and have such
a respect for guys that come in and really embrace
the role of being on special teams, mostly young guys,
undrafted guys, you know, middle to the late round picks,
and just how can I carve out a role on
the football team, and of course the avenues through special teams.

(27:07):
But we watch a lot of tape on the best players.
You know, we watched Chery McMahons, guys don't know about
Matt Slater, Cody Davis, Jayden Reeves made you know a
lot of guys that are still active or former. And
when you watch the best guys, they're not the fastest,
they're not the biggest, they're not the strongest, they're just
absolutely relentless.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Like Matt Slater.

Speaker 12 (27:28):
He was fast, he was agile, he was strong, but
probably not any of those things. But his motor and
his relentlessness was so different.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Like how do you stop that?

Speaker 12 (27:36):
And so sometimes that just comes to you and sometimes
that can be developed, you know, through through some tools
and some confidence. So love the guys that love the
game and they come in all shapes and sizes.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Final question, who are the more interesting kickers you've worked
with interesting, Like you.

Speaker 7 (27:53):
Know, I'm only yea is.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
I feel like even the ones I've got to know
even in college, like at times they're set, they separate
themselves because they need to be separated.

Speaker 10 (28:03):
Who are the more interesting beers he worked with.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
I'm glad you asked that.

Speaker 12 (28:07):
I've been really lucky to be with some great kickers.
Probably the most interesting in all great ways with Sebastian Janakowski.
I was with him for four years and when I
got there, he might have been like his eighth year,
so he was already established. But he wasn't, you know,
probably even halfway through his career. And I learned a
ton from him, you know, he he was super passionate.
He was a very big guy, but loved the weight room,

(28:30):
in the fitness. He didn't overthink anything, and that was
really I came from Baltimore, was messed over for a
couple of years, but Sebastian really taught me a lot,
to be honest with you. And then when you know,
I went to the Rams, it was Greg Zerlin and
then you know, Brandon Aubrey and some great kickers and
now Joey Slide. But Sebastian, maybe just because it was
one of the first ones I was really around and

(28:51):
I was a coordinator for was just a very interesting
man in a lot of great ways, and a great
football player and one of the best teammates I've been around.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
So shout out to see Bass. He's an all the timer.

Speaker 6 (29:03):
Can I just followed with that, You know, when you're
dealing with your place kicker and you're you're a kicker
that's going to win you ballgames, how delicate is that situation?
Like do you have to learn that personality of when
to push? And also because it's such a mental game,
it's like, you know, somebody that's golf standover putt, you
either get the yips or whatever, and then all of
a sudden it goes downhill. How do you how do

(29:23):
you go about navigating that relationship with some of those guys.

Speaker 12 (29:26):
Yeah, now that's cool. I think it's built off of
trust for sure. And that's a that's a great question
and a hard answer because if it's a younger guy,
I think they need some reassurance and some confidence building. Hey,
come on, man, you know, pick it back up. Some
of the veteran guys, they don't need to be talked
too too much. And sometimes the more you say, the
worst it would be, you know, because they know what

(29:47):
they did wrong and they don't need to hear about
it and over analyze what happened. But there is there
is a balance of the mental part for a kicker.
Like when we had Brandon Aubrey first year in Dallas
two years ago, his very first kick of his career,
he chanks the pat like geez, you know, So he said,
hey man, you know a little bit wet, you know,
just keep yourself locked in make sure you swing it

(30:07):
the next one, And that's kind of the simple message
without overdoing it. And he goes off and rattles off
like twenty something kicks in a row. So there is
a balance and the relationship developed kind of lets me
know kind of how to approach the tough situations for
sure with the guys. But you got to get to
know him before before you handle that. So that's a
part of the coaching job is such a mental game.

(30:29):
You know that there's tools and there's competitiveness in one
on ones, but then there's the mindset game that's so
delicate that you just I think as a coach, you
just got to get to know the guy.

Speaker 7 (30:38):
Coach.

Speaker 10 (30:38):
We appreciate the time. I hope you like Nashville.

Speaker 12 (30:41):
Been great so far, but I'm still new and uh
I'm looking forward to, you know, moving in and making
my community.

Speaker 10 (30:47):
Stay away from Broadway. Other than that, nothing else experience.

Speaker 9 (30:51):
I'm going everywhere.

Speaker 10 (30:52):
Coach, Thanks for the time, Thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Something else I want to get to here is me
you and Sarah Walsh. We were on NFL network. I'm
gonna play this clip and it's like five minutes long,
and at the beginning, you know, she's tossing the softballs, right.
But the thing is I can't really hear her.

Speaker 7 (31:24):
I couldn't hear anything, and we.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
Had ear pieces, but they did not work. They were fake,
that makes sense.

Speaker 7 (31:30):
I think they were fake. I was hearing like radio
in my ear.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was hearing Paul Harvey. That's the
rest of the story. While we were doing our deal
and the music was up very loud in the stadium,
and they were doing play by play of practice, so
is NonStop talk. So it was so much to take
in and I couldn't hear her because the seating arrangement
was Sarah far right, Matt in the middle, me on

(31:55):
the left, So I'm having to like look across and
watch her lips, and all I know is that she
says something about quarterbacks in Nashville and goes to me, so, okay,
I can go off that camp. And we talked about
cam wore and until I compare it to other rookie quarterbacks,
what you'll hear. At the end of this clip, she
says to me, no idea what.

Speaker 8 (32:14):
I was right next to her and I could hardly hear,
and I was like, there's no way, no way without
this year he's working, that Bobby's getting any.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
Of this, heard none of it. So having screwed up
a bunch and done a bunch of live television, what
you do is you just go. If you can't hear,
the worst thing you can do is be like what
you just go whatever direction that you can go with
a purpose. So I'm like, I don't know what you
just said, but here's what I'm seeing. And the problem
is what I was seeing was and he had a
really great practice was Treylon Burks, Yes, except like five

(32:45):
minutes after this segment he breaks his collarbone out for
the year.

Speaker 7 (32:48):
Then waved, then waved then wave. It was like the
curse of Bobby Bones.

Speaker 8 (32:53):
Like the guy, the guy, he's gonna have a big year,
he's gonna come out, he's gonna ball out.

Speaker 7 (32:58):
Yeah, and then boom boom done. Done for the year.
Felt bad for that young guy.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
I know he's been injured every year.

Speaker 7 (33:05):
It's like when you play golf, keep your mouth off
my ball.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
I don't I've never said that.

Speaker 8 (33:09):
You never like when somebody's like, oh, good putt and
then you just miss it and.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
You're like, I've never heard that saiding like that.

Speaker 6 (33:15):
I like that.

Speaker 7 (33:16):
You know you can use it.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
Thank you, Thank you. Here we are. This is me,
Sarah Walsh and Matt.

Speaker 7 (33:25):
Hey Rot.

Speaker 10 (33:25):
We're so happy to be here.

Speaker 4 (33:26):
The Titans are hosting their first and only practice at
Nissan Stadium, and then they'll go back over the practice facility.
Brian Callahan told it's just a little while ago. Just
being in this building or being in this stadium, it
ups the intensity, obviously, breaks up the monotony. And there's
two guys that live in Nashville and Bobby I'm going
to start with you here. This is a franchise that
has long been looking for a long term solution here

(33:50):
at quarterback, they get cam Ward number one. Overall, just
talk to us, as someone who's lived in Nashville now
for a while, what this guy means, what this opportunity
means for this city.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
I think anytime you get the number one pick, that's
exciting for a franchise. It sucks how you got the
number one pick, but now that you have it, like
that's cool.

Speaker 10 (34:07):
He gives us here a reason to be excited.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
And I think there's been precedent said to in the
last couple of years with CJ. Straud with the Texans,
even jayde Daniels last year, that a rookie quarterback doesn't
have to come in and just kind of suck your one.
They can actually do big things if they're trusted upon.
And I think in Callahan's offense and with cam Ward
being so great at Miami, like he's dynamic.

Speaker 10 (34:26):
It's not just that he put up numbers. He's dynamic
highlight clips. And I think that's what the.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
Fans here need, like a reason to see something dynamic
and have hope that next year is going to be a.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
Change Matt there could be a quarterback competition there is
I mean they can say that there is, but Will
Levis now is not going to be available this season,
so he was the number two here. We've gotten the
sense from the second that took this guy that he
was going to be starting Week one. Let's just start
with mentally, what is this dude? This guy walks out here,
he's obviously young, it's his rookie season, but he is
known from the moment that he has stepped on the

(34:56):
field that this is his team.

Speaker 6 (34:58):
Yeah, he knows that this is his team, and that's
why they drafted and he came here and Brian Callahan
and talked about it all offseason. He's just been so
impressed with this leadership. He understands what is being asked
of him. And I think that they've also done a
good job with this young quarterback of understanding.

Speaker 9 (35:12):
They got to surround him with talent.

Speaker 6 (35:14):
They've got to go out Calvin Ridley, right, they have
Calvin Ridley, they needed somebody opposite of him.

Speaker 9 (35:18):
They went out and got Tyler Lockett.

Speaker 6 (35:19):
They brought in Van Jefferson, and then they need to
shure up that offensive line.

Speaker 9 (35:22):
They're able to do that.

Speaker 6 (35:23):
So cam Ward is in a better position to succeed
than probably most people believe that he did originally coming to.

Speaker 9 (35:29):
The Tennessee Titans.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
We're taking a look at him at practicing. We've watched
him here. What is going on in his head right now?
I mean you're trying to absorb so much information. Callahan
told us today, they're going to be working a lot
on third down sets and maybe the most important thing
they're going to do in terms of him being able
to see different things get him prepared for the season,
which kicks off with the Broncos. And you and I
have talked about it. This is not an easy start
for this Tennessee Titans team. He's going to open with

(35:51):
the Broncos. He's going to get the Los Angeles Rams.
If you're him in this progression of what this career,
but where is he at right now?

Speaker 6 (35:59):
Well, sometimes your head spinning as a rookie quarterback. I
don't care who you are, how much time you've had
in college with different systems, when you come to the
professional professional in the NFL, what eventually ends up happening
as you hit that little rut in the road, right
And it's that mental capacity.

Speaker 9 (36:13):
It's the processing because.

Speaker 6 (36:14):
You're learning and trying to absorb so much and so
every day is important.

Speaker 7 (36:19):
But what I would do if.

Speaker 6 (36:20):
I'm the coach and I'm the defensive coordinator, I'm going
to challenge them each and every day, particularly in what
we call blitzdrill blitztroll is where you show a lot.

Speaker 9 (36:28):
Of different looks.

Speaker 6 (36:29):
You're gonna bring it from all different angles. Because protection
for young quarterbacks is going to be key. Knowing how
to protect yourself, get yourself out of trouble, and get
the ball out of your hands.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
Their team president Chad Branker said that young guys are
going to have to carry this team. And you hear
that and I think, guys, what is realistic for the
Tennessee Titans this year?

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Bobby, Yeah, it's so loud, I can hear nothing except
I'm watching Calvin Ridley on the screen make freaking plays.
We're in the middle of global warming here in Nashville,
and it's extremely loud. But on the screen here, it's
cool to see Calvin Ridley. It's also cool to see
Trey long Burk's healthy again, because Traylon Brooks is a dog.
There's a reason they traded it for him the first round.
Last couple years have been injury prone.

Speaker 10 (37:06):
He's been heard, but I.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
Think the offense at Tennessee will have a lot of
YouTube highlights, and that's what the fans need first of all,
because we.

Speaker 10 (37:12):
Haven't had a winner here in a long time.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
So I'm sure your question was nothing like that, but
I can hear nothing.

Speaker 10 (37:16):
Because they're so loud.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
Look, he didn't answer my question at all, but that's
because the podcast is called lots to say. He had
other things to say. And also to that point of
it being loud in here, Brian Callian said today they're
going to work on the silent count, So apparently in
the stadium just jumps.

Speaker 10 (37:30):
Want to hear what I just jumped off side, It's
not the.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Matter, lent count day.

Speaker 6 (37:33):
Crank up the music, crank up the sound. Make sure
everybody's operating mentally focused.

Speaker 9 (37:38):
While we were off sides.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
On that point, they're doing practice play by play over
our head too, which I've never quite heard before.

Speaker 10 (37:43):
But yeah, super exciting here in Nashville.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
Lots to say, They got more to say. You can
listen to it on the podcast.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Rest And now we're going to go over to and
I missed this, but you got to talk with cam Orrick.
We did, and so we'll play this and then I
ask some questions about Cam once this is over.

Speaker 10 (38:05):
Are excited to be here, Cam.

Speaker 14 (38:06):
It's fun to watch practice today.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
I want to start first of all the big throws.

Speaker 14 (38:10):
We'll get to all the other topics, but walk me
through the big throw down the field, a big touchdown
to to Ridley today.

Speaker 5 (38:16):
Look close, scrambling drill. I don't know if it's a
real play. Might have been a sack. Got to see
it on film. But that's just meeking quality, working on
my guys, them, letting them, letting them know how I
think in Scramma dril. So it's good that we have
to get one of those plays.

Speaker 9 (38:29):
Camp.

Speaker 6 (38:29):
From an install standpoint, I know that every day there's
probably an emphasis talk to us about your processing ability
and learning this offense, and every day some new reality
comes up that you're trying to learn.

Speaker 5 (38:40):
Uh, just get used to the terminology. It's not different
from college and stand up routes and concepts everything.

Speaker 9 (38:47):
It's all the same.

Speaker 5 (38:47):
Just getting used to the NFL terminology, to formations, and
they also just staying the long play called the third down,
play calls the cans that checks out to mate. But
I mean it's been fun. I've been getting bet every day.
I'm running something new every day. I got a good
group of guys around me, the offensive line, wid receiving, corner,
running back, so i'mxcided to see.

Speaker 7 (39:06):
What we can do well.

Speaker 14 (39:07):
I talked to a bunch of coaches and a bunch
of personnel guys, and the one thing they said that
stood out to me was they can't beat you into
the office. What time are you getting in the facility
every day, and who have you been bringing with you?

Speaker 5 (39:17):
I get there, I get there about five thirty. Just
the process what I need to do to try to get,
you know, be able to play my best ball in
a couple weeks, and then just also getting my receivers
up there. Really, He's always up there, Emily can Chimney's
always up there with shovels up there. We got so really,
all the young guys, we really stay up there because
you know, we're behind the eight ball. We're playing a
game seven year and ten year events, and we got

(39:38):
to be ready to play from day one.

Speaker 9 (39:40):
So I'm excited though.

Speaker 5 (39:41):
That's why we have emphasis on getting there, learning everything,
and you know, just trying to get bet every day.

Speaker 6 (39:46):
Cam Where's that leadership quality come from, because you know,
you come in you're gonna be the face of this
franchise for a long period of time.

Speaker 11 (39:53):
But it's got to be something that you.

Speaker 6 (39:56):
Grew up as a born leader, right But at the
same time to come into a new group of grown
men in the professional setting, where does that leadership come from?

Speaker 5 (40:04):
And you're I just think just understanding your teammates, learning
more about them, where they're from, their background, how they
get to this point because I had a different journey
to get into it. You know where I am now,
and I just think I don't separate from what the
outside world sees the quarterback position as to what our
position as is on the team. That's really being a
good teammate, leading guys when you need to, and also

(40:26):
not being a selfish player. We have a locker room
full of unselfish players. Who are they want to do
is way? And I'm sorry that I'm about the team.

Speaker 9 (40:32):
Etcter.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
You have a veteran offensive line, you go.

Speaker 14 (40:34):
Out and get a guy like Kevin Zitler, You go
out and get Dan Moore. Have guys who've been in
this league for quite a while.

Speaker 5 (40:38):
I'm really excited and they hold me to a hogh standard,
and I'm holding up to Houstin as well. But I
mean guys like Kevin and Dan, they teach me little
things even when they don't think.

Speaker 9 (40:47):
They teach me something.

Speaker 5 (40:48):
They played football for a longer period than I am,
and I just gotta I gotta learn stuff on the floor.
I gotta learn stuff as fast as they did when
they first got into the league. But I'm decided that
you know the GM, Mr Mike, and you know missus Chattan,
this's day surrounding me around guys like that to help
me with my journey.

Speaker 11 (41:03):
And talk to us about your wide receiver room.

Speaker 6 (41:04):
Obviously Calvin Ridley, who's coming back as your number one,
but you go out, you get Tyler Locke, and you
ring a guy like Van Jefferson who's played a lot
of quality football over his time, and Tyler Tyron Burks
is coming back and he's a guy that you're hoping
for big things. But that room looks a lot different
than what it did in the past.

Speaker 7 (41:23):
We got to unbelieve we receive the corper.

Speaker 5 (41:25):
I think the biggest thing we have from when watching
them last year this year is that we just have
a lot of speed, special young guys with elk Chim
when we drafted but Calvalta lock I just think those
three of the best receivers in the league. They helped
me just understanding when they need the ball, why they
eat the ball, and just when and how they get
in out of breaking breaks. I think the biggest thing

(41:46):
that I'm learnning from them. We've had to get some
good work end this summer. Colin today Lockett knowing it
was covered.

Speaker 11 (41:52):
Two sitting up for me and me hitting him in
that window. So we learned at each other on the fly.

Speaker 5 (41:56):
But I can for sure say you getting better every day.

Speaker 14 (41:58):
Have you thought about some type of a present for
Jeffrey Simmons and kind of calm him down a little
bit on the defensive line, just slowed down just a
little bit.

Speaker 5 (42:07):
That's that's a big man right there.

Speaker 7 (42:08):
Man like dad.

Speaker 11 (42:09):
We slided his way every time we play him.

Speaker 5 (42:12):
I'm Finna, I'm Finn the running back in the in
the A gap, and I'm chipping him every time I can.

Speaker 6 (42:16):
So.

Speaker 5 (42:16):
I mean, j jeff he's a he's a He's an
ultimate competitor. He's somebody that you know, I wake up
and I'm ready to get to work, to get to
work and go get so but it's fun. I never
played with a defensive lineman that big, who can move
like him. But I mean, he's the reason why our
defense is going to be so good. He can pressure
the quarterback. He's a great team player, he's a great
locker room guys on the side there, you know.

Speaker 6 (42:36):
Having by myself, I think one of the most important
relationships for any quarterback is a relationship with their offensive coreator.

Speaker 9 (42:42):
You've got a new offensive coordinator with Nick Colts.

Speaker 6 (42:44):
Talk to me about that process and learning to get
to know each other and the collaboration that really takes
place to get to know you as a player.

Speaker 5 (42:50):
Uh, just good. I think the first time me finally
being in coach hose, just throughout the whole free draft process.

Speaker 11 (42:56):
But to now is that he.

Speaker 7 (42:57):
Really understands me.

Speaker 5 (42:58):
He understands you know, wildlight, certain players. I'm not used
to doing a five step from Gunn, but I'm starting
to love now, especially getting the balled out on Tom
getting to early. Hey, I think does Coach Hols, you know,
Coach Callaha and coach vote quarterback coach, They're gonna really dillard.

Speaker 11 (43:13):
Up for us this year last one.

Speaker 14 (43:15):
As we wrap it up, look at the two of us,
Me and Mass sweating like crazy. You don't have a
beat of sweat on you know, how is that here possible?

Speaker 5 (43:21):
I mean, I'm from Texas, lovely like Texas hot our
here playing on from the South. So I'm glad I
was able to stay in the South and being Tennessee.

Speaker 14 (43:28):
Camp Woard's prepared. He's prepared for the weather, He's prepared
for what's going on out there.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
On the field. Thanks buddy, the Starry appreciate you.

Speaker 3 (43:34):
They got to sit with Cam Wore there. I don't
know what were your takeaways after meeting him.

Speaker 8 (43:38):
I mean, he's very mature, He's got a great grasp
of who he is.

Speaker 7 (43:43):
He's confident. You could tell that right away.

Speaker 8 (43:46):
He talked about his leadership, he talked about this transition
into the pros, and you could tell like there's something
about him. He's got some moxie to him. He's a
natural leader, and I'm excited for the young man. I
think he knows that this season is going to be
one of those that they're still rebuilding. But it's he's
got the keys of the car right. He knows that

(44:07):
he's the franchise. He knows that he's the face of
this franchise and that it's going to be an uphill battle.
But at the same time, I think he embraces that,
understands it. And you look at the history of what
he went through in his college career, going to JC,
going to Washington State, having to prove himself every step
along the way, and then to get that shot at
Miami become the number one draft pick. He understands what

(44:27):
it's going to take, and I don't think he's phased
by any of it.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
We're gonna come back. We're going to talk about I
have questions about Caleb Williams and Bears Camp. We'll do that.
We'll talk about the Hall of Fame. And I bought
something that came in the mail today and I'm curious
if you have one of these, We'll do all that.
On the other side of this, I got a package

(45:00):
from Amazon today and it was very long. It looked
like golf clubs. It was that long of a box. Okay,
so you can picture it, And I'm like, what did
I order that's long like that? Because I knew I
didn't order a single golf club. I knew I didn't
order golf clubs.

Speaker 7 (45:10):
You order golf clubs of famous.

Speaker 3 (45:13):
No, well it looked like that title. I was just asking,
I've ordered like a one of those weighted ones, like
the ball you swing to get loose. Yeah, so no,
but no, because I've been lucky enough to have like
sponsorship deals. I'm not even not gonna a golfer, but
can I get some of that? I think I will

(45:33):
sponsor you. I will sponsor you. So I open it up,
and I forgot that I had bought this also. I
didn't know it'd come this long. But I bought one
of those big, long wooden things you put over your
bathtube and you take a bath, so you can work
while you take a bath.

Speaker 8 (45:47):
Are you a big bath guy, big bath guy, big
bath guy, bath guys, depending.

Speaker 3 (45:53):
On what you really Yeah, because if something's wrong with me,
epsin sauce, for sure. If nothing's wrong with me, because
epsin sauce sometimes in the bath bomb or the bubbles
don't mix. Well, okay, the chemistry doesn't work. Big bath guy,
big bath guy. And so I bought me a new
It holds like my computer. I can stand in the longer,
I can like watch some tiktoks. Yeah, you have bath
guide all.

Speaker 7 (46:13):
You know what?

Speaker 8 (46:14):
This is the God's honest truth. Because I wasn't feeling
great this last week. I took my first first bath
in about five years, just because I had like the shivers,
wasn't feeling good.

Speaker 7 (46:24):
I was like, it was relaxing.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
You enjoyed it.

Speaker 7 (46:26):
It was relieving. Yeah, but I couldn't say that I'm
a bath guy. I probably don't have time for that.

Speaker 3 (46:30):
Oh man, I don't either. But you make time for
things you love. And you know what, I love a bat.
You love a good bath, and I can't.

Speaker 7 (46:37):
Just like my seven year old daughter.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
Absolutely, we probably are many ways.

Speaker 7 (46:41):
Do you have like little Barbies and duckies in there too?

Speaker 3 (46:43):
It depends am my bath bombing it or my EPs
in salting it? Barbiees is bath bomb got it? EPs
and salts like sore muscles.

Speaker 7 (46:51):
Muscles have been working hard.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
Here's the thing though, about happenings. Because I'm hurt right now,
I have a muscle or a physical therapist coming over. Okay,
any injury that I get at this point in my life,
I just live with it. I just assume it's going
to be there the rest of his life.

Speaker 7 (47:08):
Man, that's a bad way to go through thet.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
Like I heard my ankle tor from cartilage my ankle
like a year ago. Doctors like, it's never going to heal.

Speaker 7 (47:13):
You can just it'll never heal.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
Carlage is gone.

Speaker 7 (47:16):
I mean, what a bad doctor.

Speaker 8 (47:17):
Well no, hope, I messed some bedside manner to you,
for God's sake.

Speaker 3 (47:22):
Messed up my shoulder.

Speaker 7 (47:24):
To use it, never going to use it. Can't swing
a pickleball.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
Tweaked my back in a pickleball tournament. It hurts, yes,
And now I just assume my back is always going
to be hurting the rest of my life.

Speaker 8 (47:35):
Did you, like, are you one of those guys that
have to go, like, get the MRI, maybe a cat scan.

Speaker 7 (47:39):
Figure it out right away.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
I'm the guy that puts it off. As a matter
of fact, I was playing in this tournament and I hurt.
I felt it, and I fell on my knee and
I cut my knee up. But this dude was talking
so much garbage and he was cheating, and so I
was like, screw this. I was down a point or so,
and I knew I needed to stop playing or it
was gonna get worse. But I could not quit until

(48:01):
I won that and beat that guy. Wasn't about the match,
It's about beating that year I did. I beat him
and then I had to retire from the tournament after that.
But I think I heard it worse by continuing to play.
But I would do it again. That dude was cheating
his face off.

Speaker 7 (48:12):
So when you say cheating, are you calling your own points?

Speaker 3 (48:14):
Yes, and that's what I was doing.

Speaker 7 (48:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
And I looked at him, and I think I told
the story. I said, are you doing a bit? But
I have a physical therapist coming over to day to
work on my back and then I plan to get
back in the bath with my brand new back in
the bath, my my bath desk. Yeah, desk anybody out there,
I don't know, dude. If you don't have a bath desk,
you ain't living.

Speaker 7 (48:33):
You ain't living.

Speaker 8 (48:33):
And it's and it's specifically for taking baths and to
do desk work on and desk work, that's right. And
if you do or so you do more desk work
on there, you're actually watching Netflix or what.

Speaker 3 (48:46):
I don't watch Netflix there, but I do. I'll do
some tiktoking, you'll do some TikTok. I some tiktoking, and
I will work a little bit, but it's how I
manage my time to get in the same place. If
you decide you want to be more of a bath guy,
I have the perfect bath desk and I will I
will get you one.

Speaker 7 (49:01):
I appreciate that you just let me know. I still
know if I'm going to go down that path yet
you may not. But you're gonna have to tweak a
few things.

Speaker 3 (49:07):
I am the expert you call you are. I have
questions about quarterbacks. I ask you if you have a
questions about bats, I'm going to hit you up. Yes.

Speaker 7 (49:14):
Now, speaking of.

Speaker 3 (49:15):
Quarterbacks, I've been watching just through clips and reading about it,
especially from the local beat writers about the Bears camp
and Kayleb Williams, and obviously Ben Johnson is there now
as the head coach, who is the offensive coordinator in Detroit,
and apparently Kayleb Williams is struggling. They even gave Caleb
Williams I said they Ben Johnson, the offensive staff gave
a bunch of homework before camp because he struggled at Ota.

(49:36):
Is a bit how common is that for a quarterback
with a entire new philosophy to struggle at this part
of the year. Is it much ado about nothing?

Speaker 8 (49:46):
Yeah, I mean there is obviously a process to this
whole deal, and it's probably even when you listen to
Ben Johnson's comments and some of the pressers, he's like,
this is brand new terminology. We're putting more on his plate,
and right now they're going to continue to push him
and see how far he can elevate, how much he
can take in, how much he can process now, because
then you can always pull back. But until you expose

(50:09):
him to the entirety of that playbook, then you'll never
know what he's capable of. Now, you can take the
baby step approach where it's, hey, we're going to start
really slow and just kind of introduce common concepts. But
if Ben Johnson knows that that offense is going to
operate at its best, it's going to have the motions,
the pre staff shifts, it's going to have the elaborate,

(50:33):
sophisticated layers to it that they want Caleb William to
be able to retain and understand why they're doing it.
So I understand why there's going to be struggles because
even when I got to New England and I was
a rookie quarterback coming in learning a new terminology.

Speaker 7 (50:48):
That I thought was sophisticated. But there was a lot
of check with me.

Speaker 8 (50:52):
There's a lot of two plays in the huddle getting
to the right, but you're also shifting during those you're
using double cadence, and that's probably more than he's ever
done in his entire career. So it's a learning curve,
and it's a steep learning curve. But I think what
Ben Johnson's really do and is pushing him to try
to see how much he can take in because they
can always pull back.

Speaker 3 (51:11):
He may need a bath desk.

Speaker 8 (51:13):
He made me need a bath desk in the computer
so he can go through it.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
So while he's in the bath, he can still So
you guys are like, oh, you take baths. Yeah, but
you're doing two things at once. He's a little little
aps and salt, a little bath desk.

Speaker 7 (51:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (51:24):
Watch the place, watch the place. Rehearse the place. I mean,
every time I went into a new offense. It's the
funniest thing because I used to have my wife literally
goes down the play sheet and give me the calls
so that I would rehearse saying them out loud because
There's something to be said about knowing the terminology but
then visualizing it. And when sometime when you're in a

(51:44):
new system and even you hear the play call coming
to your helmet, you don't always process that. You're just
regurgitating what you're hearing. So you have to practice those.
As small as that sounds, it makes all the difference
in the world to go into a huddle and have
confidence and be able to visualize that play and say
it confidently.

Speaker 3 (52:04):
Hall of Fame. We got four members going in. Antonio Gates.
First thing that comes to mind, Antonio Gates, I'm gonna
go basketball player, because that's all they used to say.
Now that's been done a couple of times, like Jimmy
Jimmy Graham was a basketball player. Those guys have happened before.
But for me, Antonio Gates basketball player that turned into

(52:24):
a tight end. He was extremely dominant, but he was
just so much taller than everybody too.

Speaker 8 (52:29):
I mean, he was dominant and he never looked like
he was running extremely fast, but nobody could cover this
guy within that five to ten yard range, and then
he would explode out and just get open down the field.

Speaker 7 (52:43):
He had a great feel.

Speaker 8 (52:46):
Obviously Hall of famer, and we've played against him a
bunch when I was with the Chiefs, and I used
to just throw fits on the sideline anytime it was
clutch time, third down.

Speaker 7 (52:54):
Philip rivers would just find him over. You could try
to double them.

Speaker 3 (52:56):
Doing it, and I knew they were going on well,
you knew they were going to him.

Speaker 7 (52:58):
He had sure hands catch everything. Just a freak of nature.

Speaker 3 (53:02):
Jared Allen your boy.

Speaker 7 (53:03):
I'm going actually, I'm going up this my new friend.
Really yeah, he I got invited two.

Speaker 8 (53:09):
Jared Allen's having something after and so obviously we played
together at Minnesota. Good friend of mine. I'm going to
go up and celebrate him this week, and so it'll
be fun.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
That's super cool.

Speaker 7 (53:18):
Yeah, I'm excited.

Speaker 3 (53:19):
Eric Allen. Do you ever play against Erek Allen?

Speaker 7 (53:21):
No?

Speaker 8 (53:21):
I did not, Yes, I did it play against Eric Allen?
Great player as well.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
Did you play with them at all?

Speaker 9 (53:26):
No?

Speaker 3 (53:28):
Fifty four career interceptions, that's a.

Speaker 7 (53:29):
Lot of a lot of interceptions.

Speaker 3 (53:31):
That's a lot of interceptions. And then Sterling Sharp.

Speaker 7 (53:34):
Way before you, way before me.

Speaker 3 (53:35):
And I remember Sterling Sharp as a young kid because
that was Farv's dude in the first generation FARV that
I remember. Sterling Sharp was a dude.

Speaker 7 (53:44):
Sterling Sharp was the dude bighead. Did you yeah, good player?

Speaker 3 (53:48):
No? No, fine, fine player, fine player, talked a lot,
smoked a lot of cigars.

Speaker 7 (53:54):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
But Sterling Sharp gets in six hundred catches, different time, though,
different time. Five time pro bowler, NFL All Decade Team
of the nineties. Now, those are the four going in.
Have you seen the list of the folks that are eligible,
because I want to read you some of these and
you tell me, well, let's pick who we think should
go in. Okay, Now, I think the rule is minimal
for maximum eight, right.

Speaker 8 (54:16):
I think that they went four too because they had
the year after COVID, right where they had a bunch
go in like full eight.

Speaker 3 (54:22):
That you mean this year for yeah, yeah, So why
don't we do six? Let's just do it in the middle.
It's gonna be tough because i'll read you someone and
you can say absolutely yes, or we'll come back to them.

Speaker 7 (54:34):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (54:35):
Drew Brees absolutely yes, absolutely yes, put him down, absolutely yes.
Larry Fitzgerald absolutely yes, absolutely yes, agree, Jason Witten absolutely yes. Well,
I'm gonna come back to Jason Whitton. I think it's
yes too, but I purposefully didn't go to the whole
list because I wanted to play with you as I

(54:56):
read them.

Speaker 7 (54:56):
Yeah, I'm going to.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
Come back to Jason Witten.

Speaker 7 (54:58):
I played with I played with Witt. Yeah, gotta love
I mean, I love that guy.

Speaker 3 (55:03):
Really why just a.

Speaker 8 (55:06):
Unbelievable professional, but a guy that had played with grit,
great leader, played hurt. I mean, he tells the story
where he had his jaw like full on, had to
get realigned and had to go see the special doctor
and came out still made it out for opening day.
He played with me with cracked ribs and he had
fluid in his lungs and then we were at the
end of the season. Game didn't matter. Should have protected himself.

(55:28):
No was out there on Thursday practice, got his lung
drain like just a guy that could get open in
a phone booth, understood how to play the position, could
block at the end of the line of scrimmage.

Speaker 7 (55:39):
Just an absolute stud.

Speaker 3 (55:40):
Okay, yes, I've now switched. I'm now a Yes. After that,
he just gave me the one one for the Gipper speech.
You're a sponsor now is does he live here?

Speaker 7 (55:49):
He's in Texas, got it. There were rumors that he
was going to come coming.

Speaker 3 (55:53):
Yes, that's what I wondered if you Yeah, Okay Frank Gore,
He's a yes for me too, so I'm going to
come back. Frank Gore extremely dominant, but played a long, long,
long time and what he played eighteen seasons And sometimes
people will devalue the link to someone's career, But do
you know how hard it is that you do? But
I'm saying it is very hard to stay healthy. Yes,
Like there's as much much upkeep in work at staying

(56:15):
healthy as there is being great, especially at running back. Yeah, Edelman.

Speaker 7 (56:20):
Not yet?

Speaker 3 (56:21):
Okay, Olsen, do you think his career has been helped
by what he's been able to do at a high
level after the game, because I think he's probably not
there in this class.

Speaker 7 (56:33):
But I how many were you taking in this class? Six?

Speaker 3 (56:37):
I think we have three so far, and I think
but his profile and that does it sho, but it
does count.

Speaker 7 (56:42):
Yeah, But also his stats speak for themselves.

Speaker 3 (56:46):
Like guy was dominant, he also played at times for
a team that was not good, right with the Panthers.

Speaker 7 (56:51):
Which sometimes makes you overlook how great he.

Speaker 3 (56:55):
Was, the same thing has happened with Keighley. Yeah, and
he is probably one of the greatest linebackers to ever
play football. But I think people at times don't have
the full understanding of how Greaty was because at times
he played with the Panthers.

Speaker 8 (57:07):
He played with the Panthers. Panthers, And the other thing
is his career was shortened because of injury. Lashawn McCoy, Mmm,
he's on the cuss for me too, Bryant. No, okay,
I'm with you. Still three for sure, unless you put
Gore in there.

Speaker 3 (57:26):
For sure, you can come back to Gore. Uh uh.

Speaker 7 (57:32):
Marquise Pouncy gosh, how many years did he play?

Speaker 3 (57:37):
Years? I don't know, but I think I would put
him in.

Speaker 8 (57:41):
Really and s I mean, all these guys have you
can make an argument for all these guys. I think
the thing the hard part for offensive lineman is they're
not as visible. That's the yes, the fact that we
know who he is, Yeah, that you know who Marquis
Poncey is. How many Another thing is how many Super Bowls,
sacks given up, whatever it might be. That kind of

(58:02):
comes into play when you're talking about offensive line.

Speaker 7 (58:04):
Eleven years, eleven years?

Speaker 3 (58:07):
Uh, Okay, I'm gonna I'll come back. Philip Rivers.

Speaker 7 (58:11):
Oh, he's another guy.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
Only have two more? Well one more, and then we
can go and insert three others. Uh, Steven Goskowski? Who Goskowski?
Who didn't get in this this year?

Speaker 7 (58:24):
Right?

Speaker 3 (58:24):
M But I thought he would have got in this year.
But he's he's also on the list. Did you play
with I didn't. Stephen was with me for three years
in New England. So we have to pick three from Gore,
Lashawn McCoy, Pouncey, Rivers, Gaskowski.

Speaker 8 (58:42):
All right, I'm gonna go with Gore. Graskowski played a
long time. He had what how many super Bowl championships?

Speaker 7 (58:50):
Did he have four?

Speaker 3 (58:52):
That's a that's a Kevin question.

Speaker 7 (58:54):
No, he was. He was posted the first three, so
he's at least has three.

Speaker 3 (58:59):
I'm gonna go Pouncey for sure, So that'd be my fourth.
You know what, you can convince me on Gore, that'd
be on my five.

Speaker 7 (59:08):
Hey, this is a tough less man.

Speaker 3 (59:09):
And Gus Kalski, I'm gonna go him to I think
he should have got in last year. He's got three
three super bowls?

Speaker 7 (59:16):
Is Venetia already in the Yeah?

Speaker 3 (59:17):
He went this year.

Speaker 7 (59:18):
This last year, last year, Yes, sorry, that's right.

Speaker 3 (59:22):
This year I went to the NFL Honors and he
was there being honored for getting in it.

Speaker 7 (59:27):
Yeah yeah, he's all Jack now right, Oh yeah, Oh.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
I don't know. Oh yeah, he's like a big weightlifting guy.

Speaker 7 (59:32):
Peptides for sure.

Speaker 3 (59:33):
Maybe you don't, maybe you don't put six in.

Speaker 7 (59:36):
I'll go Steven for sure.

Speaker 8 (59:37):
I know Steven, and dude, the guy is rock solid,
kicked as efficiently and effectively for as good as anybody
for his duration.

Speaker 7 (59:47):
Of his career.

Speaker 3 (59:48):
Okay, then who do you think, without your personal opinion
or bias, who do you think for sure gets in?

Speaker 7 (59:54):
I think the top three that we said.

Speaker 3 (59:56):
So Breeze for sure, Fitzgerald for sure, and.

Speaker 7 (01:00:00):
I don't think that if they I don't think they'd
take another quarterback.

Speaker 3 (01:00:03):
I think Written to me is about eighty five percent center.
I think he gets in.

Speaker 7 (01:00:06):
I think Witten is another one witting to me, he's
going in.

Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
So Breeze, Fitzgerald and Whitten where universally those guys are in.

Speaker 7 (01:00:14):
And then I think Frank Worr is going in.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
Man, you almost have to permit for being that active
for that long at a high level for that long
sixteen years, and the high level thing is important. You
can't just be that active for that long and get
in or would be the hall of being Well, well, I'm.

Speaker 8 (01:00:30):
Sure he's got a million different stats, how many thousand
yard seasons, everything else that go along with it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
It's a good class, good class. I think it's a
good class, really good class. What are you going to
do to pict yourself? Just go lay, take a bath.

Speaker 8 (01:00:41):
I'm probably going to take multiple guys Jared all party,
go to Jared Allen's party.
