 I was down, but look at me now. They tried to count me out with the math ain't that to the exact amount for anyone who's ever been through the train off the track, but you claim over time to show him you ain't out of steam. I want it on the whole thing, not a piece of the pie. This week on Titans All Access, the boys are back in town. And when you're talking Titans football, we have to talk with the man himself, head coach who is here to show ages but a number. How does this sound? Ryan Tannehill on the mic, running backs coach Tony Doos on the mic. General manager John Robinson on the mic coming up on Titans All Access. Welcome to St. Thomas Sports Park in particular the bubble. Titans All Access at training as well as I'm Mike Keith. We're glad to be inside out of the heat and glad to be back at training camp. Oh my gosh, Mike Keith, it feels so good to be back at St. Thomas Sports Park back around real football and real players on the field. It's great. Okay, so the players and the coaches are getting ready for the season at training camp. How do you use training camp? I use training camp to get to know everybody. I use training camp to get to know everybody better, establish those relationships and learn their jersey numbers. Kind of like number two Julio Jones. That's a good one. Yeah, he's a good one. All right, the Titans acquired him back in June from the Atlanta Falcons. The future Hall of Famer is part of this ballclub. He's been a big part of training camp already and we talking about ages 32. Like I'm young like in school, you know, and to, you know, the games last year. I just, you know, had an issue where I didn't take enough time to heal up properly. There's no excuses things like that, but I'll be ready to go. So for those who questioning my health and things like that, just stay tuned. 32 doesn't sound old to me. It doesn't sound old to me either, Mike. No, it doesn't. And especially not when you've got someone throwing you the ball like he's been right in the prime of his career, had a chance to watch him work during the off season and number 17, Ryan Tannehill is the unquestioned leader of these Tennessee Titans. Right. Papa Curran. Look. Nice and soft for him. Curran, are you lost? Are you lost? Right, Curran, Curran doesn't even bring a helmet out. He must just be bored, honestly. Jerome, no gloves? Not even for Jerome. You sure? No balls in the ground, Jerome. Oh, get out there, Jerome. Jerome! Oh! Have a day, have a day. Catching everything now. Playing fast. Be decisive. Hey, be decisive attack the football. Be decisive attack the football. On the way, Marcus. Wait, not to rush it because you're dealing with it. On the way, Tommy. Hey, you see him kind of shuffle his feet. Gas that thing. Still to come on Titans All Access, the Vets work away from St. Thomas Sports Park as a matter of fact in Cali Jayon Brown and one of the newest Titans, Josh Reynolds. Speaking of receivers, let's meet one of the rookie's fourth round pick out of Louisville, Dez Fitzpatrick. I like to model my game after Devontae Adams. I think we have the same structured body. I think we have a lot of the traits the same. Obviously, I need to get to where he's at but that's definitely somebody that I try to model my game after and study. Throughout the pre draft process, you do a lot of selling yourself, describing yourself as a player. How do you describe yourself as a wide out? I like to say I'm a player of the game. I think my football IQ is definitely high. I like to just say that I'm just a complete receiver. You know, I can block. I can catch the ball. I can run after the catch. I can do, you know, the little things and especially blocking and, you know, just catching the route running and everything. So, I like to say I'm just a complete receiver. I might have seen a little cliche but I like it. It's going to be on a big stage. You'll be able to come to my show. In partnership with the Governor's Early Literacy Foundation, the Titans Rookie class read to a group of children at the Nashville Public Library Bordeaux Branch in June. The event also featured a Q&A where Titans Rookies revealed their favorite books and gave suggestions for developing good reading habits. We have our players out here to inspire the kids with their thoughtful answers and to share their love of reading. I hope it makes an impact on the kids who are here to hear it. It's so awesome to see the Tennessee Titans Rookies, their newest players getting involved in the Nashville community so early. And that's important to so many people on this Tennessee Titans team, especially Derek Henry. Yeah, Derek Henry is big time in the community. How big time? Well, the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame recognized him as their Tennesseean of the year, not just for the fact that he went for over 2,000 yards last year, but what he did was to build a field. And for Derek Henry, it's important to be a superstar in both areas. To be able to help the youth level the playing field of 40 youths and really just be a helping hand in any way the two all foundation can, just to help the youths help them grow. I have ideas that I want to do. Just being there for the youths, being able to help a hand in any way possible. I've done, I've caused my clique smile of foundation two years in a row inspired by my grandmother so, you know, just want to be a helping hand to the youths. I've done things in previous years, but really want to give some events going so kids can look forward to it and be able to impact the kids in a positive way. Now, we're all hoping to see Derek Henry be just as successful this year as he was last year. And someone who's really hoping to contribute to that is the second round draft pick for the Tennessee Titans, Dylan Radins. Oh, line. He's an offensive lineman. Mike Keith, that's right. You do know these guys. And you know, he went to North Dakota State and that was a big choice for him. He was really excited about that. Here's him talking a little bit more about that choice to play for North Dakota State. Now, you could have gone to an FBS school, but instead decided to honor your commitment and go to North Dakota State. Why did you make that choice? One, because I verbally committed so soon, which was fine by me. I'm a man of my word, so when I say something or put my name on a dotted line, I'm going to follow through with it. So my mom taught me when I was younger. She committed so soon just because they're a winning program. They offer me full scholarship. I never even realized that I wanted to play college football. I was like, okay, they're going to pay for college. And then the O-line coach absolutely just loved. He was a great father figure of mine. And they just sent Billy Turner and Joe Hegg to the league. Joe Hegg just won a Super Bowl at Tampa Bay. So I knew if I put in the work, I'd be able to pursue my dreams and go to the next level. Now, you were a pretty good defensive lineman in high school. Why make the switch to offensive linemen? Yeah, I don't know. They just saw me as a more athletic, I was like 250 in high school. And they're like, hey, that's the way North Dakota State likes to develop guys. They're going to develop guys into offensive linemen. They don't want to necessarily recruit big offensive linemen. Plus, the U of M is there. So the U of M takes a lot of the big recruits. So just developing, skinnier guys in the offensive linemen has worked well for them. That's what Joe Hegg did. It's Billy Turner did. That's what I did. Just going from a skinny guy to a bigger guy. They know your foot quickness is already there. So they'll just put weight on you and they'll turn you into a great offensive lineman. In your heart though, are you still a defensive lineman? I think right now it's weaned out. Like I've definitely bought into it. But I know when I first went there, I was like, I hope they move me to a tight end or a defensive end or something like that. Hopefully I don't have to gain all this weight. But eventually you grow into it. You find why you love doing it. It's a great brotherhood being part of an offensive line. We're a bunch of goofy guys. So overall it's a fun time and I've definitely bought into it. There were some signs, but I had no idea. Honestly, when they called, I was sitting in the car because I was starting to get a little irritated with the draft. So you went to your car. That's your safe space to get away from the draft? I mean, I had been watching it because you know, they pro-longed it because they talked the whole time and they do commercials. So I had to get away from everybody else sitting in the car when they called. Did you have to go back inside and tell everybody that you were being drafted? Or did you wait and let them see it on TV? Two of my good friends that I grew up with, at first I was one, but they came and sat in the car with me. So they're right there when I got the call. Oh, that's cool. What a cool moment to share with some of your friends. Yeah, it was. It was crazy and you know, it was once in a lifetime Welcome back to Titans All Access. You all know that Mike Keith has been with the Titans organization for approximately 300 years. What you don't know is that he's never watched a practice from on the field. He's always been on the sidelines. So we changed that this year and we sent him out onto the field with Titans General Manager, John Robinson so that he could watch a practice and learn what's actually going on. So we are going to bring this experience to you in a segment that I am affectionately calling giving Mike Keith a hard time with John Robinson presented by Dunkin' Donuts. Everything the light touches is our kingdom. Can you tell how much our players improved from last year based on this one? Nah, a little bit. I mean, ultimately it's going to kind of put the pads on, you know. There you go. Now we're dialed in. Mid-Net from 44. I like it. Did you ever kick? All the sidelines. I was the back-up kicker in high school. Longest field goal you ever made? Probably 48 yards. Gotta get to the sticks. On 3rd and 6th. 3rd and 6th you need 7, right? I don't know you need 6. If it was 3rd and 7, you'd need 7. At 3rd and 6, you would prefer to have 7. Because then there's a touchdown. Yeah, touchdown. Well, that'd be 6-2 points when we got to kick the extra point. Where we going, Joe? We're going that way. Okay, beautiful. Get to go to my spot. Tana will do a good job telling these guys what he wants. Coaching guys up, what he's looking at. Hey, hey. Way to keep playing, right? You didn't get the release you wanted, but you just kept pressing with strength, right? That's a nice job. Oh, snug window. Nug window. Nug window. You don't mind that he threw that? I like it. Let me trust it. Trust it is going to be there, and the purpose is going to make the catch. I don't know if we're going to win any image for this little piece here, Mike. You don't think so? Well, I don't know. Maybe a Dundee? A Dundee. I think that we should watch Mike Keith get roasted by John Robinson once a week. I don't know who I talked to about that, but I think we need to incorporate that into the game. But two people we do not make fun of here are Jayon Brown and Josh Reynolds. They are very important parts of this Tennessee Titans team, and this off season they spent some time in California getting their workout on. They had to get ready for this season, and so we followed them up to California to watch how they prepare. This is the best spot to workout at. I feel like every year I get better on the field and stronger, and I don't trust nobody else to do it, but every year I've been in the league. It's been a proven year, so I'm excited to mesh with the team and do my part to get us to that Super Bowl, and that's the ultimate goal is to get them Titans to the Super Bowl. Yellow. Let's go. All right, man, off season has been great. Coming off an injury with the elbow, but as you see it ain't going to be no problem. I'm excited to go get out there with my teammates, have fun making plays, and win a whole lot of football games. I'm excited to get it going, man. Tighten up. The Titans rookie class stopped by one of the organization's youth football camps earlier this summer. They participated in drills, signed autographs, and took pictures with all 135 kids who attended the camp at Page High School in Franklin. Over the summer, the Titans welcomed more than 600 kids to their five camps throughout the greater Nashville community. That's a ball! I'm seven-flagged with some of the youngsters around Tennessee, and it's just a blessing to be out here because I look at a lot of these guys and see myself when I was younger, just having the opportunity to come back and give back. It's been awesome. Join the millions of Titans fans who are doing their part in the fight against COVID-19. Get vaccinated. It's free. It's safe, and it's available in your community right now. Give it a shot. The training camp edition of Titans All Access from the bubble here at St. Thomas Sports Park. You know, Mike Vrable is a very busy man. After all, he is an NFL head coach, the head coach of your Tennessee Titans. But Coach Vrable was kind enough to take some time to go around the fields with our Amy Wells for an update on his offseason. Don't take anything that we do out here for granted. Don't take this opportunity for granted here. Don't take practicing with each other and getting better and better. Mike Vrable, this is your fourth year as an NFL head coach. Can you believe it? It goes fast. I can believe it, but I do recognize how quickly it goes. What do you wish that you had known in year one that you now know in year four? That COVID was going to actually be a thing. Really? Well, I mean, I don't know. I think we didn't know that when I got hired. Would you have still done it? I think you just realized you have to be flexible. Eight-hour games in Miami. You know, just everything that happens on a daily basis that comes up that you have to be ready for when you deal with 90 players and 20-some coaches. Does it feel good to be we're not completely back? There's still protocols. There's still things that have changed, but more back? Back to closer to normal? Yeah, I mean, we're back. We're practicing and hopefully we're going to be able to get into the stadium to be around our fans. Unfortunately with the construction, that can't happen at training camp. That will certainly feel normal. We're moving forward and I think that that's testament to the players, the league and the players association. You've had winning seasons every year as a head coach. Obviously, when you're starting a new season and you've had that kind of success, there are some expectations. How do you manage that? You have to also try to raise them and say, listen, whatever we did last year or however you coached or whatever good plays we called or whatever successful plays you had, we have to be better than that and we have to be better each and every year. That's why we come back to this area here which is training camp to build that foundation and continue to raise those expectations. We understand that they're high. They're high for everybody in the national football league. You can manage them but also understand that you have to be better than what you were the year before. This is how we practice. This is what the expectations are. The ones that can battle through it are going to be the ones that end up sticking around helping us win, developing a role because they have a foundation. Always good to hear from Titans head coach Mike Vrable. Speaking of coaches we like to watch, we enjoy following running back coach Tony Doos and anytime in practice you'll see and hear why after the break. But up first, Titans third round pick Elijah Molden a defensive back out of Washington tells us about his favorite TV show to watch and it's one of ours too. Is it true that you are a huge Ozark fan? Oh, big time. Really? Yeah, it's probably my favorite show, Ozark. I got my parents on and I got a lot of friends on it. Okay, what is it about that show that you like so much? It's just creative and I love Blaine's name, Bateman. Jason Bateman. I love Jason Bateman. Touring Nashville is always a great way to send off the rookies once the off season is over in June. This year the Titans rookies got a chance to make their own Hatch Showprint while visiting the Country Music Hall of Fame. They also stopped by the newly opened National Museum of African American Music. I have been fortunate enough to tour the National Museum of African American Music and as Nashville stops go it is right at the top of my list. Really, it's at the top of my list. It is that good. You need to go see it if you're visiting downtown Nashville for sure. Oh, absolutely. And a Titans coach that you always want to see work when you get the chance is running back coach Tony Doos. He's Derek Henry's coach. Yeah, he's kind of a big deal. He's been keeping his stamp and for him it's all about the work. Set the tone. Quick, quick, quick, quick. There you go. We got to work. Work, work, work, work. Make sure your footwork right there, sir. They're making all of them cuts. They're making all of them cuts for. North and south, homie. Cover the front tip, eagle claw, back tip and a crease. Here we go. To work at it. Work, don't give it back. Don't, uh-oh, uh-oh. Oh, now you act like you know what you're doing. Set, go. Get it out. Get it out. All right, break over. Here we go. Going back. Set, go. Ah! Ah! Ah! Who's the best one? We say Jeffrey the best. All right. All right, so Jeffrey and Sean go. That's a good technique right there. Set, go. That's a good technique right there. Uh-oh. Come on, Rosanne, work at it. Tony Do's super guy, better coach, proud he's part of the Tennessee Titans. Absolutely, but Mike, why are you holding this box? You're usually standing on a box. Short joke. Even though I'm her personal wine caddy, because this is the box that you will receive if you join the Foolish Club. Ooh, tell me more. It is a wine club that the Tennessee Titans have partnered with Fairwinds Estates Winery in Napa Valley, California. And it's going to be something really, really special in terms of wine. The name itself is already special to our organization because our founder, Bud Adams, along with Lamar Hunt of the Kansas City Chiefs and the other founding AFL owners were known as the Foolish Club because there's no way they can take on the NFL and be successful. Well, they were and now we have a wine club named in their honor. And that's such a cool thing. One of the Foolish Club will get two shipments a year of this wine. And it is a collection of premium wines. This isn't regular wine. It is Titans branded called Rough and Dressed Napa Valley Good Quality Wine and the labels all represent something that's special or important to the Titans organization or to Nashville. Really a cool thing to be a part of and it's limited. So you've got to act fast. Go to FoolishClub.com sign up and part of the proceeds go to the Titans Foundation which supports so many great causes all over the place. So the FoolishClub.com FoolishClub.com that's where you're going to be a part of this. I'm in. I'm gonna wrap up the show. I did it. Now, for Amy Wells I'm Mike Keith. More Titans All Access coming your way the weekend of September 12th and we open the regular season against the Arizona Cardinals. For Amy I'm Mike. Thanks for joining us next morning.
