Speaker 1 (00:12):
This is the OTP. I'm Emmie Wells and I.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Am joined by Taylor's ourzer, Taylor. I'm so excited to
have you on the OTP. Thank you, Amy, not only
because you're here and it's very exciting to have you
in the studio doing the OTP. I know you're going
to be here a lot of times this season, Yes, ma'am,
but it is the first day of training camp.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
It's happening.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
That is what it's all about. And there is a
tremendous amount of enthusiasm around this facility right now. I
think that there would be because there's a lot of
fresh faces here and it feels like the start of
something special. But anytime it's the first day of training camp,
people are going to be pumped. I know that's been
the case for you for many years, but it especially
(00:55):
was the case for me because it is my very
first day of the first day of training camp.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
It really is did it feel good to be out there?
Did you feel like you fit in? Was it the
first day of school?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I don't know if I fit in yet. I think
people are still like, who's that new guy over there
that's walking around just observing all parts of practice? And
my name is Taylor, by the way, and I probably
and by the way, I was wearing a name tag
you were, Yeah, I mean I do have a name tag.
I know. I know what you do too, Yeah, And
you probably don't use this very often.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I don't, Yeah, but it's good that you do.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Yeah, because I felt like, you know what, people don't
know who I am, So I'm gonna wear this as
much as possible the first few weeks. So yeah, there's
certainly it's a transition to do this job. But it
felt awesome to answer your question. You know, I've gone
to some of the biggest sporting events and covered them
on a national level in golf and in television with football,
(01:53):
but to be the voice of a team at training
camp was one of those pinch moments, really, like on
the field representing a team that was high on my
bucket list. I didn't know that I was ever going
to be able to do it. I thought maybe that
ship had sailed. But yeah, I sort of had an
(02:14):
internal talk with myself for a moment there, like, how
cool is this?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Well, Taylor, before we start talking about what happened today
at your very first training camp, I feel like we
should get to a button like at Disney World where
it says it's.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
My first day.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I know that button.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I feel like we should get one for you.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I want to talk about some news, some things that
have been happening throughout the week leading up to training camp,
just to make sure that the OT.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
People are fully up to speed.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
So a couple things that happened as we were heading
into camp. Femi Oladejo signed.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
His rookie contract.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
This is great news for the Titans because we want
him on the field. He's a rookie, we need to
see him perform. But also it kind of breaks this
weird trend that we're seeing across the league of these
second round draft picks who aren't signing their contracts right away.
And of course it's the Texan's fault. The Texans started
this trend of giving their second round draft pick guaranteed money.
(03:09):
How do you think that's going to be impacting just
training camps around the league.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah, I think it is going to have an impact
because you're going to hear a bunch of people in
the ears of those draft picks talking about what they
deserve and what they want, and they're going to try
to prove their worth and look, those people are wonderful people.
I'm not here to bash on them as lots of
others do. But I think because of that, it is
(03:34):
going to become a thing. And even if the player
thinks it's going to go smoothly, sometimes it isn't because
they think you should be slotted here instead of slotted there.
So yeah, I do I think that that is it's
a possible distraction. It doesn't sound like it's a distraction
here though. It sounds like knock on wood that has
(03:55):
gone very smoothly so far.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Femilodeja was on the field today. He looked at practice
and it's also good that he is out there because
the Titans had a player decide he was going to retire.
Lorenzo Carter, the edge rusher, has decided that he has
done playing in the National Football League, and it definitely
leaves a hole on this Titans team. It leaves a
place for some other people to step up and perform,
(04:19):
which is great, but he's someone who's gonna be missed.
He was added in March, and he was a free
agent that some people were really excited about, and so
he's obviously making the decision that's best for himself and
his family, and we respect that and we wish him
all the best going forward. But now there is a
hole for someone to step in and really make an impact.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
First of all, I've been calling SEC football games for
a decade on SEC Network, and I have not gotten
to a point yet where the players that I've called
games have started retiring until.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Now it's happening, Lorenz.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It's happening. They're retiring from professional football now. And Lorenzo
Carter was only eight years in the league, you know,
so it feels I mean, he was kind of of
the same era as Jeff Simmons, you know, when I
was calling his games at Mississippi State, Lorenzo Carter was
playing for Georgia. I think there's just a year separation there,
and so it is kind of bizarre at least to
(05:13):
me that, Wow, his career is over. But hey, listen,
all respect to him, he felt like he was done,
didn't want to do it anymore. And to your point, Amy, yes,
it has opened a hole. I do think that the
front office, Mike Borgonzi, Chad Brinker, and Brian Callahan all
collectively want to see what they have from a pass
(05:34):
rushing standpoint these next few weeks, and it wouldn't shock
me if they try to bring in another pass rusher. Now.
I think the other thing that they will be looking
at is once we start getting to cuts in the
next six weeks, who is out there and who is available.
And it wouldn't surprise me if that's kind of one
of the positions they jump on to try to find
some more depth there at pass rusher. But you know,
(05:56):
I do think that the Titans, if you look around
at different places, Draymont Jones is an established pass rusher
for the Titans. I would expect ardent Key to really
step up this year and make a step in the
right direction for the Titans as well. But I do
I think you're right. I think with Carter retiring, it
(06:18):
does make you wonder are they going to bring in
some more fresh bodies.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
It is interesting too, because when it comes to kind
of the waves of the acquisition period during the offseason,
you've got the first round of free agency obviously, and
then the draft, and then you have this kind of
post draft second round of free agency, and then there's
the little talked about third round of free agency that
happens at the end of training camp exactly. The Titans,
being at the very top of the waiver wire, are
(06:44):
in a great position to kind of see what's happening
around the league and make some of those acquisitions. It
could be a potential spark that you spot where you
see someone who has performed in the league for a
while who just for whatever reason numerically or financially didn't
make a roster but still a great player who could
be added to the Titans.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
So that's a great point.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
It is. It is a good point by you to
say that, because you don't want.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
To be at the top of the waiver wire, but
when you are, you may as well use it exactly right.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Also, you may notice I'm using a cheat sheet here.
This is my board. It's not It'll be much bigger
when it's in the booth when I'm calling Titans games.
But it did warm my heart to see Coach Matt.
I did make a couple of copies, and I should
have given you one of these, by the way, and
you can have one moving forward. But it does have
the players laid out on my board the way that
(07:35):
they compete on the field, which makes it very easy
to get to their to their name and their number.
But it warmed my heart to see Ret Brian and
coach mac Dave McGinnis both using their charts out there
on the field today, so it was nice make them copies.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, that's great, that was so smart.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I have my roster that is covered in coffee and
diet coke and yeah, whatever else I've picked up on
the field.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I'm a little low fi when it comes to things
like that.

to the OTP. All right, other news before we get
into the nitty gritty of the day, Lagerius Sneed and
Lloyd cushion Berry are both starting training camp on the
pup list. Cushion Berry's recovering from that achilles injury. Lagerius
(08:48):
Snead is still working to come back from that quad
injury suffered last season, and he had some work done
on his knee, we found out the other day in
a media availability. So where does that lead these two guys.
Does that leave open spots for someone else to compete
in or do they feel like they're solidified enough on
this team that we're just kind of waiting for them
(09:08):
to get healthy.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Your questions are my questions right now. And I do
wonder about Sneid and his future and when and if
we're going to see him in a Titans uniform during
the regular season. And I don't think that I'm speaking
out a turn by saying I think Brian Callahan and
the rest of the Titans front office would love to
see Snead on the field. He makes a significant difference
(09:33):
in the secondary. I see a guy like Jarvis Brownlee
Junior stepping up and emerging in the secondary. He had
a fantastic first practice and he was fired up about
it out there in training camp on day one. But
he'd be a name I would watch amy these next
few weeks to see if he emerges as a frontline
player for the Titans. But there's no question that Mike Borgonzi,
(09:59):
who were for the Kansas City Chiefs when Lagerius Snead
was obviously one of the best cornerbacks in the league.
The general manager now of the Titans, Porganzi, would love
to see his old player step up and get healthy
in play. Now. As it relates to Cushion Berry, I'm
not as concerned about him as I am Snead. I
think he's going to be back, and I think he's
(10:19):
going to show you why he's one of the better
centers in the National Football League now certainly needs to
get in game shape, and we don't know exactly when
we're going to see him out there practicing. I was
really impressed with the pieces around center in practice, and
Dan Moore at left tackle and JC Latham going over
to right tackle are doing a great job on the
edges and I think that they will show how improved
(10:42):
the Titans offensive line is. But for the Titans to
completely be whole on the offensive line, I do think
they need a healthy Cushion Berry. I do still think
amy they believe they're going to get that by the
time Denver Broncos game rolls around.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
The biggest news coming out this week was about quarterback
Will Levis and that he's going to be having season
ending shoulder surgery. We've seen him battle this shoulder injury
since the twenty twenty four season. Chad Brinker and Mike
Borgonzi said that he participated fully throughout the OTAs and
Mini camp and the entire offseason program.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
They knew this was a possibility.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
They knew that there was a chance that he might
pursue having some sort of a procedure. They had had
conversations about it, so it wasn't a huge surprise, but
it is a change up from what everybody expected to
see in the twenty twenty five season.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I was surprised by it. I think a lot of
us were with the timing of it. But I'll just
use what cam Ward said. Hey, listen, the guy decided
that this is what's best for his career, and you
have to respect that and wish him well and hope
he's back. Here. Cam raved about the teammate that Will
was throughout what you referenced with OTAs and minning camp
and says I hope he's back because he said, I
(11:56):
love talking ball with Will Levis, so maybe we will
see him around the Titans facility here at some point
during this season. He is out in California now going
through that process of having the surgery and rehabbing as well.
But everybody wishes Will well. But it was at least
a surprise to me with the timing. One thing that
(12:17):
I would watch is Brandon Allen, who does have experience
playing and working with Brian Callahan in a previous regime
with a different organization, watching Alan try to help cam
Ward get ready to take all these first team reps
and get ready for the season. Ward already has referenced
(12:37):
how much he loves watching Brandon Allen just be a pro.
But Alan knows this offense, and I think that'll be
a that'll really serve cam Ward well. I would give
an example, just in recent memory, of another number one
pick in the draft. The Carolina Panthers have Andy Dalton
as their backup quarterback and Bryce Young I would bet
(12:59):
would tell you that if he got married tomorrow, that
Andy Dalton would be the best man in his wedding.
I mean, they have that kind of relationship. It would
be great to see that happen with cam Ward and
Brandon Allen as this training camp goes on that Hey man,
I've got this veteran that I can rely on that
it really helps me understand the offense. So don't be
surprised if you see that. And Tim Boyle also is
(13:22):
out there too as an extra body. At least would
like to have three guys amy going through practice here
in the next few weeks. I don't know that the
Titans have plans to add a fourth quarterback, but it
wouldn't shock.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Me day one. Yep, there's a lot of excitement. There's
a lot of energy on the field. We had the
opportunity to talk to Chigakonkuo about it and here's what
he had to say about the first day of training camp.
Chig Aconquo, this is not your first training camp, but
it seems as though there's a little different vibe around
camp this year.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
What are you noticing.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
I mean, everybody's just excited. I think we all have
like a different level of a belief. I believe this
year just from what we've seen in OTA's and it
just showed with how the guys you know, came to work,
you know, the first day come in yesterday, with our
conditioning tests and then coming in today and the coach said,
we didn't have a single penalty all practice. So it's
just like a different level of focus.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Man.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
We all know what we can accomplish this year, and
we're just really excited.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Man.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I mean it was maybe fifteen minutes into practice that
you started dancing, and we kind of saw that energy
all throughout practice. Guys really seemed like they were feeling
it and enjoying themselves, which is rare for training camp
given that it's so hot and it's a lot of work.
Is that just another example of how excited everybody is.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
No, literally, yeah, I mean like we all just like
we've seen it now, so it's like we all just
know we have to just do what we need to do.
So in forty five days we can go to Denver
and then do what we need to do there. So
everyone's just really happy man, about how things are going.
It just it just feels better. It's a different vibe,
you know. I think it's hard of it is mostly
Cam that coming in and how he came in, and
he's usually just leading us, man and taking us there.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
What'd you spend this off season working on?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Uh? Pretty much all the same stuff I always do,
just working on my craft, whether that be tight all
the tight end stuff, you know, just come in a
better tight end.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It feels like this tight ends group is kind of
having a renaissance within this Titans offense. It seems like
we're seeing more tight end involvement in a lot of
different ways. Do you think that's because of the personnel
that are in that room, this group of guys, or
do you think that's maybe Nick Holts and Brian Callahan
and their style.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Yeah, I think it's really much just like a carryover
of last year. I mean, I think we show it
at the end of the year what we could do,
so Cally just knows, like now, like we this position
needs to be involved with the offense because we've seen
what it is when we start getting the ball, all
of our offense just kind of, you know, shot up
at the end of the year there, So he knows
what it is and that's why.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
You know, we're just getting more opportunities.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
That consistency from year one to year two has got
to feel good, right, Oh.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
I mean it's the first time I've had the same
offensive coordinator like in the league for the second year.
So it is really nice to have not to have to, like,
you know, relearn a whole system, have to like prove
yourself over to a whole new coach is kind of
he just knows what you can do and it's going
to be done.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Establishing a relationship with cam Ward is that a big
goal for you throughout training camp?
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
I mean he's the guy, so just being able to
have him trust me whenever he knows he knows where
I'm going to be, put the ball on me. I mean,
we got a lot of work in the off season
together too, so it's going to carry over here into
training camp.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Now back to the OTP.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
All right, Taylor Zarzer, tell me what you saw out
there on the first day of training camp.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
What are a couple of things that maybe stuck out
to you.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Okay, the first thing was that cam Ward was warming
up before they did seven on seven drills. Not just
cam but Brandon Allen and Tim Boyle too, were warming
up with a bunch of staff members and Calvin Ridley,
he was the only receiver that was warming up the quarterbacks.
All the rest of the receivers were going through their
(17:20):
drills and near their place on the field. The offensive
line is on their place, the defensive lines in their place.
The kicker and the punter and the long snapper are
way over in a different.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Field, barely on the property.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Yeah. Yeah, a shout out to my man, Martin Cox.
He was way over there. But Calvin Ridley was like, no,
I'm warming up the quarterbacks. So that was kind of cool.
I've never seen that before. We're just one receiver and
a bunch of staff members were doing that. But Calvin,
you can tell it's like I am building a relationship
with cam Ward and it was happening even before they
(17:53):
went through drills. When you watch them go through drills,
one of the neatest things to see is just how
the speed of the game doesn't seem to impact cam
Ward that much. He did this. If you go back
and you watch him at Washington State or Miami, he
goes through his progressions amy so well. Typically when the
first read is not open, for a guy that is
(18:16):
in his first year in a system, whether it's college
or pro, they panic a little bit. When that first
read is not open. They a lot of times they
take off or they force the ball somewhere that shouldn't.
Cam Ward, if possible, might be better on his second
read than he is on his first. And you saw
that a lot at practice. One of the things that
(18:38):
really stood out to me was elk Iomanor. Get ready
for this guy. He is six foot two, He's over
two hundred pounds. He is a big, physical looking receiver.
He looks bigger at least than I thought. I know.
I'm sure you've gone through this a million times. You've
been out there and you're like, God, that guy's bigger
than I thought. Iomanor was one of those guys for me,
(19:00):
and fast too. He would come in motion several times
and need block for Spears or Pollard in front of
them to open up a hole. I think he has
a chance to quickly emerge as a playmaker for the Titans.
So that's offensively. Defensively, the guy that I really was
impressed by was Jarvis Brownlee junior in the secondary. It's
(19:20):
just his second year, and he batted, He'd deflected, defended
several passes. He had one big deflection when Traylon Burks
was going down the sideline and he defended the ball
and broke up a would be catch from cam Ward
to Traylon Burks. He had a really good practice. They
(19:42):
need one of their young corners to emerge, and he
did in day one.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
It's interesting you mentioned elc Iomanner in the way that
he physically looks.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I was taken back by just.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
The physical kind of build of this Titans team as
a whole. There are so many guys who, it is
very clear, spent these last six weeks really leaning into
the programs that they've been given by this team's strength
and conditioning team, the team, just doctors and trainers, the
(20:14):
nutrition staff, all of these people who are helping these
guys really get their body composition at just tip top
shape across the board position group. Be damned, they all
look like professional athletes. I mean they all look big
and built, and I mean from guys like Jeffrey Simmons
(20:34):
who lost some weight and JC Latham who have kind
of trimmed their body down, to guys who have bulked
up a little bit like a Traylon Burke's or like
a Mason Kinsey. There are all guys who just came
back looking like and I say, a professional football team.
They always were professional athletes. They always look like professional athletes,
but like more like the like the video.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Game version of professional athletes, you know, like what's.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
In your brain. And I mean it in the best
possible way. I was taken back by how just like
fit this team looks.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
You noticed a difference from last year.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I noticed a difference from last year.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I noticed a difference even from like the off season
program in some of these guys. Everyone looked like they
were in great shape, and that is something that typically
you're just kind of like everybody passed the conditioning test,
they're always good to go.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I could see it with my eyes, and I noticed
the difference.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
And I noticed that Mason Kinsey doesn't like to wear
a shirt.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Mason Kinzie never wears a shirt.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
And he was disrupting one of your interviews that you
were doing. But he's, yes, you're right, the guy the
team is in fantastic shape. And you referenced the first
guy I was gonna mention, Jeff Simmons, where you really
noticed a difference with him. And he's already one of
the best interior defensive linemen in the National Football League.
(21:52):
But man alive, does he look fit coming into the season?
He said about ten to fifteen pounds lighter. You know,
he's around three h five going into the season. But
and somebody said, did you lose any strength? And he
was really quick to come out. He was like, I
didn't lose any strength. Come on. He's very quick to
point out. And he was fascinating just listening to him.
(22:15):
I know a lot of us have thought about this
in recent years, just like about our blood type and
about you know, what foods that our body interacts well with.
And Jeff went on at length about that and just
like he was like kind of stunned by some of
the things that cause inflammation in his body. And this
offseason he spent a lot of time thinking about that.
(22:37):
And you can tell that Chad Brinker is behind a
lot of that. He's been talking a lot about that
in the last couple of months and getting the team
and the right kind of shape to endure a long season,
especially when you have a young team that he is
trying to learn what it's like to play seventeen games
over the course of eighteen weeks and trying make the
(22:57):
playoffs and still be in good physical Can you see
so many teams amy that are beat up by the
time you get to December and end of January. Now
that that obviously is a main focus for the Titans,
is they want to peek later in the year. They
want to make sure their bodies are prepared for the
long haul, and that is that's an emphasis that starts
(23:18):
at the top.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Who are you going to be watching? As training camp
kind of goes on? Is there a player or two
where you're like that guy, I'm gonna watch that guy.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yeah. I love that you asked that question, because my
mind wanders to a bunch of different spots as I
look all over the field. But I think it's obvious
because I think almost all of us are looking at
number one. And I've watched a lot of cam Ward
in the first day, and I watched him in OTA's
(23:46):
and certainly that's where it starts. But I know that
everybody is wondering about different things. The guy that I'm
watching the most, probably outside award, is Taja Spears, because look,
all Titans fans know this one of the he will
go down. I really think, bordering on one of the
(24:07):
five greatest running backs of all time in the National
Football League and Derrick Henry. I mean, do you think
that's unfair? I mean, I mean, and the guy still
is going to have a chance to run for another
couple thousand yards in twenty twenty five. When that guy
leaves the team, Okay, that's a massive loss. That's a
huge transition. And look, I thought Tony Pollard had a
(24:29):
good year in twenty twenty four. But in order to
I don't know if replicates the right word, but in
order to have one of the more successful ground games
in the NFL, which is what the Tennessee Titans still
want to have, ty J Spears has to be that
one B or one two, the two to the one.
(24:52):
He's got to be part of that punch. And Spears
had an electric practice I think in the first day
of training camp. You can tell that Brian Callahan is
calling his number as much as he can to see
what he's getting out of him. You know, you can
run between the tackles of Pollard. Can you get Spears
around the edge? Can you get him the ball? Can
(25:14):
you throw bubbles to him? Because the guy can fly?
And if they can have him emerge as the other
part of that piece in the backfield, then for all
of the talk about wide receiver, which is listen, I
get all the focus on that, But if all of
a sudden one of your best receivers actually happens to
(25:35):
be in the backfield with you, that could turn into
a big coup for cam Ward. So Spears is my guy?
What about you?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Do you have one that's a great guy? You know
mine's on the opposite side of the ball. I'm really
going to be at watching a lot of the linebackers,
and Cedric Gray is someone that I'm really excited about watching.
You know, we didn't get to see a lot of
him in his rookie year battling back from injury. Only
kind of got to see him late, but I was
so excited about watching him play. So now I'm excited
(26:02):
to see where when he's healthy, what he's really able
to do starting from the beginning and coming all the
way through.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
So that's my guy.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
This used to be called tar Heel Blue whereat it
leaks close to it, it isn't close. And Gray, of
course is the tar Heel had a great collegiate career.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yeah, so I'm really excited about watching where he's able
to find himself within the lineup when he has a
complete off season.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
And I'm also just.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Interested in that linebackers group to begin with. Cody Barton
was a great off season addition, but there's still a
lot of question marks within that group. So just overall,
what's happening with that linebacker squad? How are they all
going to kind of shake up and line up. I'm
excited to watch that group. So you'll see me on
the defensive field a lot throughout training camp.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I love it. Cody Barton blew up a play in
the backfield on day one of training camps, so he's
immediately making an impact back there.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
And he's just a cool guy. That's what I'm here for.
I'm for the cool guy. The guy's got horses. I
think that's neat all. Right, So Taylor Sars, are you.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Coming back for day two. Yes, you're still going to
be around. I might sleep here tonight, scouches in here,
I do.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
I this is an honor to be here with you
and to be here with our Titans team. We have
so much great coverage that you're leading the way with
on a daily basis. We're going to go into the
stadium on Saturday for Back Together Saturday, which will be
a whole lot of fun. I can't wait for that.
And obviously next ten days or so are going to
be fun. But I'm already talking to some of these
(27:37):
players about going to Tampa and then going to Atlanta
after that. It's interesting what coach Callahan said Amy about
how really the big difference from year one to year
two in training camp are the road trips and going
and taking this team on the road and staying together
for ten straight days. And you know, in the old days,
(27:57):
you went to a dorm and you kind of got
to do that in training camp. That's really their dorm
experience is through I think it's August the sixth through
the following Saturday night, which is a ten eleven day period.
The Titans are going to be together on the road,
and I think they will come out of that a
(28:17):
really close team.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yeah, I think you're right, speaking of back Together Saturday,
which you mentioned.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
If the OT people want.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
