 Anthony, congratulations to you. I guess how happy are you to get a deal done and how much maybe will familiarity help you going into, I guess, year four with the Titans? Yeah, I was really excited to finalize a deal with the Titans and he ends up going back and forth in negotiations, but just exciting stuff and really happy to be back kind of with the same organization. And I mean, good to see Todd Downing get promoted as an offensive coordinator, just being a former Titans coach. So I know he did a great job in our room, so I'm just excited to see how he could help this offense and build on what Arthur has provided for the Titans. And just following up on that, I mean, what are some of the strengths of Todd and what will he maybe bring to the team as the OC now? Yeah, I think, I mean, he's a very detail-oriented guy and he does a great job teaching us and coaching us and making slight improvements on all plays and throughout the game. So I mean, I know he's gonna has experience from the offensive coordinator job in his prior years and yeah, I'm just excited to see kind of how it progresses with the Titans. Tara? Anthony, when you think back three or four years ago when you were bouncing around on practice squads and you got here for camp, did you have any other fallback plans lined up and what were those and how excited are you that you've reached this moment after going through whatever you went through? Yeah, I mean, yeah, in the beginning, I didn't have any direct job offers but definitely had some internships and other alumni connections through Harvard and stuff like that where I was looking kind of in my first year when I was home just going to workouts. Yeah, where I was ready to kind of fill in if I had to, if something didn't work out. But yeah, it's been super grateful for the opportunities I've been given by the Titans especially and being able to just keep progressing and finding a role and finding value in the organization and it's been, it's an amazing opportunity. John? Anthony, congratulations. With John who moving on represents a lot of, you know, receptions and yardage and touchdowns and so forth. How do you expect your role to change going ahead to next year, you know, with with no John who there? Yeah, I mean, it was a huge part of our offense and put a very important role just in everything we did, run game, pass game and yeah, it's gonna be difficult to fulfill those the jobs he did and but yeah, we're gonna, as a tight end room we're gonna just embrace everything that he did and yeah, just keep improving and do the best thing, best that we can do and our position, our roles and take what the coaches give us and yeah, wherever they see best fit. One more for you. I know obviously through your career you've been used much more in passing situations than running. I wonder how you rate yourself as a blocker, maybe how you've improved in that and do you think you still need to improve in order to see a larger chunk of time on the field? Yeah, I definitely keep improving my block in and I know it's something I've been working on all through coming into the NFL but yeah, I mean all the past coaches and previous veterans I've been around I spent time with and just learning from them and just continue to kind of build my game and seeing how important is to be a dual threat tight end and yeah, that's something I'm gonna keep hoping I can progress in and add value in both areas to the Titans. Thanks. All right, Bob. Hey Anthony, congrats. How has Todd kind of helped you start to develop your skills as what you're talking about there, a dual threat tight end? What kind of tips has he given you through the coaching and how you've seen that kind of bear out for in your success on the field? Yeah, I mean, I just seen how he's worked with guys in our room and how he's worked with me specifically just with my body type and making sure I can use my speed and quickness and lower center of gravity and leverage just to make sure I can get movement on the ends when I'm blocking and just making sure I'm aggressive and good technique is just something that he really stressed when we were watching film and everything. So yeah, I just hope that I can progress that and keep learning. David Buccar. Anthony, you talked about earlier in your career and job connections, that sort of thing. Is it ever surprising to you that you've stuck around in the NFL this long and have created the career for yourself that you have? Yeah, I think, I don't know when I look back just come out of Harvard and I don't know, yeah, this wasn't exactly kind of the, yeah, future I was looking at it from Harvard. So yeah, I'm definitely, I mean, sometimes I look back and I'm, yeah, surprised about I've gotten this many opportunities and stuff, but yeah, I felt like I've done my best to prove myself and show that I can hang with the guys at this level and continue to keep doing whatever I can to add value. Taran? Yeah, Anthony, having to possibly move into more of a role in line, what would you say are some of the obstacles that you may face and have to overcome bumping into a guy to put his hand in the dirt at the end of the line and scrimmage? Yeah, I mean, like I said earlier, that's the something that I got to keep working on and I've been working on just having as many opportunities. So yeah, I mean, I think just using just quickness and technique and using hand placement and yeah, just as much as I can keep working on this off season and going into preseason in camp is just something I'm gonna stress just so I can make sure that that's a dependable and reliable position that I can be in for the Titans. And then one of the things that John O'Smith did last season, he off season rather, he worked with Tannehill, you know, during the off season, that's something that you plan to do just to further develop the chemistry and relationship you have? Yeah, yeah, definitely. I think there's something I'm planning on doing right as I signed back with the Titans and it's important that I go spend some time and work on connection and mechanics with Tannehill just so we have that. Yeah, we can build that into the season and keep building off last year. Paul. Hey, Anthony, do you have the sense that an expanded role is yours to be had going forward or you anticipate somebody else joining the room in a John O style role? Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's something for the coaches and the organization to figure out. Yeah, I'm gonna do whatever I can to be as valuable as I can to the Titans and wherever they see fit, wherever they need me, I'm gonna be there and apply the most values I can to that position. Gentry? Yeah, Anthony, did you have a pretty good sense all along that you would be back again with the Titans this year? I guess when did you really know that was gonna be the case? Yeah, I think being restricted free agent, I always felt like they had the option to tender me and just from here and from guys around the league and a couple of guys in my agent as well, just yeah, I felt like that most likely I would have an opportunity to be back with the Titans and after the talks with my agent and negotiations, it definitely felt like the best opportunity for myself and the organization and I was excited to be back and come back for another year. Yeah, with the way that Arthur would use so many Titans in his system, are you expecting more of the same given that you're promoting not only from within the staff but another Titans coach to that role? Yeah, I assume so. I mean, yeah, I don't know exactly what Todd's plan is but yeah, I mean, I know Arthur and Todd have worked a lot together and agreed on a lot of things. So yeah, I think from what I've seen, I expect kind of a similar type of play-con and types of personnel. Anthony, you played a big role last year on third downs in particular. What do you think allowed you to be so successful getting open in those key situations and being able to move the chains? Yeah, I think a lot of that has to do with, I mean, Todd Downing spent a lot of time with me going through extra film with, yeah, just working on third down plans and we'd go through our players we were running and then see how they'd match up against the defense they were running and he really did a great job preparing me for what I would see on the field. And I think having that type of knowledge going into the game just gave me confidence and the ability to kind of be where I need to be for Ryan and just develop that dependability in the quarterback as well. And what do you think are the biggest strengths of the duo of you and Jeff Swain? Yeah, I think we both have very kind of unique skill sets and different play strength and play styles and I think they can really benefit and play off each other and just have good mismatches for the defenses and yeah.
