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