 I know you talked about how good it is to have chemistry with Ryan coming back from last season. How was that kind of shown during the early portion of camp? Man, I think it's still like a building process. We spent so much time away, man. But I think it was Ryan with all the quarterbacks just kind of continually using these days so that way we don't have the games to kind of get ready. So we got to go in that thing first game and make sure we have all the chemistry built. I think it's as best we can. Taran? Yeah, Khalif, what's up, man? You made your mark last season as a deep threat, but there's clearly more than that to your game. Is it really important to you to show these coaches that you're not just a guy to run deep routes? In fact, you could work the middle of the field, et cetera? Man, definitely. I think it's just to have it all around game. I think when it comes down to being dependable, can they trust me in any situation, whether it's deep threat, catching a short route? I mean, anything they need me to do to be able to step in and kind of fill any role. So I definitely think it's a point of emphasis. And for me, it's just I just want to make sure I consistently do that so that way they can continue to trust me. Was that something you kind of honed in on your route running and those type of things? Was that something you honed in on during this offseason? Oh, no, definitely, man. That's one of the biggest things that I learned is in order to get better at football, you got to play more football. So for me, man, just a lot of running a lot of attention to detail and kind of using things that I learned from other receivers in the past year, some studying them and being next to them and kind of putting it all together and seeing how it works for me the best. Kyle? Yeah, as a guy who had the opportunity to really show what you could do in those preseason games last year, you talk about, you know, to get better at football, you got to play a lot of football. What would your advice be to fringe guys who are trying to make the last couple of spots on this roster without the benefit of preseason games? What would your advice be to them about how they can, in this kind of strange new world, show themselves? Man, Kyle, to be honest with you, even for myself, that's something I could definitely take my own advice, man, because I'm still battling, you know what I'm saying, the mental side of the game, even as we speak, but files in their shoes and even in my own case, I would say the best thing that for everything is trust. So they know they can put you out there in any position, in any plane, like, what's going to work. I know that guy's going to know how to do his job and be in the right place at the right time. I think that's the best way to, that I open my foot forward to show, hey, like, I know my plays. I know that you put me out there. I'm going to know what to do and how to do it. So because you don't have that during preseason, I mean, I think it's even more of a point of emphasis now for me as well, just because, like I said, I've had mental relapse and stuff like that, too, to make sure that they can go out there and trust me to do my job. And then once you knock that out, go find a way to do it well. So, yeah, build that trust that they can trust you. Eric. Hey, Khalif. I don't know if you realize that I'm just, you've been kind of one of the more talked about players in training camp for the time. And so I'm curious if that's something you're aware of. And as somebody that's been cut, waved a bunch of times over the course of your career, how different is that experience of just being more talked about than maybe you otherwise would be? Man, it's actually kind of crazy. So I actually deleted my social media. So I'm not distracted by it. And I got a lot of things that are on my web browser that aren't even, like I have a limited web browser. So some things I can't even pull up. So that's just to make sure that I don't, I don't even keep that in the frame of mind because I kind of have like a, I have a goal and I kind of have expectations for myself and things that I want to do and things that I want to attack. So I wouldn't even know, man. I try to keep it as out of sight and out of mind as I can, man, because I know there's, there's some personal things and goals that I have that I want to make sure that I help with this team. So that's kind of like my main focus when I go into camp, I actually do that every camp and I always shut off all my social media and everything just so I can stay as focused as I can. Sure. And kind of going along those lines, Khalif, you know, I know I spoke with you about that spiritual journey you took last year to Thailand. Did you have any such trips this past off season? And I guess just in general, what was your office off season like? No, not that this off season was a, I got a chance to heal up me just a little bit. Like I said, just because of the journey that has been over the past few years, you know, there is an off season, but you know what I'm saying, I have to come in and make sure that day one I'm flying around, especially I've had experience with like having new coaches. You come back earlier, you have that early camp for the new coaches. So I kind of always been in that mindset to, as soon as the season ends, I get maybe a week or two and I'm back at it. So this, this off season is actually, and then the coronavirus happened. So it kind of was a little bit of, a little bit more helpful to kind of sit back and rest and spend time with my family. So that's what I did the most just to relay as much of my experience that I've had over the course of the, the last three, four years, man, and kind of just instill whatever values I can into my sibling. Terry. Khalid, since all the coronavirus stuff and all the protocols that are out there on the field now, how much has that changed how you go about your daily business and on the field and during the course of practice? And are there any things that you've had to kind of retrain yourself or any habits you've had to break in order to adjust to that? Hello, man. I'm a loving dude, man. So I'm used to all the high fives and the hugs and all. I mean, that's my favorite part of the game, especially with my teammates. So especially now it's kind of just like reframing as much social distance as we can get. You try to make sure you kind of maintain that. But that's the, that's a little bit new, just to, just the high fives and the hugs and the chest bumps and all the normal stuff that you know, you kind of try to limit as much as you can. So that's different. Obviously off-season training was a lot different because you know what I'm saying? We're, especially me being in Atlanta, you had to be at home. So some tweaks and stuff that, that you have to go through, especially with all the protocol and stuff. But I mean, to be honest, I mean, I think everybody missed each other. So we still, we still find a way to connect and stuff with, with being socially distant. David LaClaire. Khalif, given all the information and discussion about head injuries these days, did the hit you took against New Orleans give you any reason or a moment to, to think about whether you wanted to or should keep playing? Um, I think, I mean, I think it's definitely something that I, that I was conscious of, but I don't think my, my reason to play kind of over, overseas anything that kind of happened during that play. Cause my reason to play is a, a lot of it is from my family, man. A lot of people that put me in this position. So my, my reason to play my why, I guess what everybody says, kind of pushed me past to overlook those and, and to be honest with you, I mean, this is a, this is a dangerous game. So, um, are you kind of going in, um, with certain risks that you know can happen in a game. But, um, yeah, definitely something I'm aware of just being, you know what I'm saying? Just being aware of things like that. And, uh, you know, playing style, I want to go down and you know, it definitely had me look at some things, but at the end of the day, my, my why kind of pushing past that. So, uh, Emily Proud. Hey there. I know you said that, you know, you still kind of feel like a fringe roster guy is still fighting for a spot. And that's a good mindset to have, but how much of an advantage is having a year under your belt with the Titans? Um, man, that's what she is. And I'll say it's so hard to look at it that way is because I mean a year of experience, um, just playing, um, definitely gives you, uh, a little bit more confidence because you kind of know what you can do and everything like that. But man, we, we, we got a, we got a heck of a receiver room just with, it's a lot of guys out there that I wanted. Um, just as bad twice as much as the next guy. So, um, that kind of always keeps you grounded, keeps you focused, man, because we got a lot of guys pushing each other. So, um, I think personally, man, having a year, man, so appreciative of it because the confidence knowing that you can go out there and catch that ball and boss on to use, uh, it helps a lot. But, um, man, once you got to, we got such a competitor, see a room that it kind of still keeps you grounded. So a couple more left, uh, Paul. Hi, Khalif, um, picking up on that question about, about your route running. I'm wondering, um, how do you rate yourself short and intermediate as opposed to deep where we know you've, you've been very good and, uh, how much is that a part of your game that has to kind of improve to make you fully well rounded? Um, man, I think, I think it's, uh, like I said, it's something I definitely try to work on a lot this, this, this off season because, uh, like I said, every, every, every route, every route is not always going to be deep. So, um, there's a lot, and there's a lot of things, I love intricacies that I, that I study. Cause I'm not, like I said, I'm not the biggest guy. So I'm at some point time, I'm guys going to come up there and pressure and something that routes are always going to be deep. So, um, definitely a lot of little intricacies in the route running that I try to focus on. I did a lot of studying actually, um, my dimension of the day, uh, uh, Stevie Johnson. I didn't, I watched that guy a lot, man. Uh, Julian, I mean, there's just a lot of guys that, that have so much that you can study and watch. So I try to build as much study as I can. So that way when the time comes, I'm prepared for it. So, um, there's a lot of guys that I've been, that I've been watching, trying to pick up little tips from for those short and immediate routes, just as much as the deep ones. So you talk to Adam much about that kind of stuff too. Oh man, dude. I watch every practice. I'm doing practice. I mean, that's, that's a guy who, who he, I mean, he, spending a day watching a film of him, I can definitely learn a lot, man. So any route that he's up, any route that he had in practice, I definitely look back and watch, just see how much I can learn, how much I can pick up. Um, cause he's guys been doing it for a long time. So, uh, John, I knew this offense had a ton of success, you know, especially the last 10 games last year, I think you guys averaged about 30 points and, you know, based on that, plus the fact that you're returning so many players this season, is there a, you know, a level of excitement about this offense going into this season, about what you guys might be able to do. Man, I think, I think it's so hard because we always, like I said, we haven't, we haven't even played a game yet. Um, and so that's, that's, that's the hardest part with that. Man, I think we're excited for each other. We're excited to kind of be back in the building with each other. Um, and I think, I think the expectations for each other, we have very high standard for everybody. So, um, and just as much we have for ourselves. So, um, there's always going to be excitement because we get to go, we get to go play football again, man. But, um, I think more than anything, we're excited to go strap up and go play and play a game and go to war with each other. So, um, I think that's kind of the mindset everybody has, man. Let's, let's get as much as we can and as much preparation as we can over the next four weeks. That way when we, when we get there, um, we get to the first game and it's just, it's just to go be excited about with each other. So. Sure. Uh, on a different note, I was wondering if you could talk a little bit about the challenge of catching a deep pass. Uh, obviously it's one thing to get open, but what are some of the things you have to deal with? Uh, you know, on a, on a long, long pass, you know, there are obviously a lot different than a, than a five yard or a 10 yard pass. How, what are some of the challenges? Oh man. Yes. It's definitely something that you want to get as much work as you can in with it. Um, and it's very hard to because, uh, but you just can't run deep all day in practice. So, um, no, I think one of the challenges, man, it's finding ways to track the ball while keeping your speed up. Um, because at the same time, like I said, you, you, you're, you're judging the distance of them and whether you got to pick it up. And it's a lot harder to pick it up than it is to slow down. So, um, yeah, I think this challenge is just, just seeing the depth of the ball, man. And, uh, knowing whether or whether or not you have to catch it over the shoulder or go attack it. Um, I mean, there, there are definitely some intricacies to it, but I kind of take the approach, man. It's definitely a lot easier to, to slow down. It is speed up. So, um, finding ways to make sure while I run and looking for the ball, I keep my arms pumping. I keep my knees high. So that way I'm still moving fast while I'm looking backwards. Cause, uh, you kind of naturally slow down. So, um, just finding ways to keep the arms pumped. That way you can track it and even that you do, um, need to go and get it. You're already running full speed. So, um, definitely something that's hard. That's, uh, you know what I'm saying? You want as much work as you get. And what I do with Matt Thompson, one of our trainers, man, he actually throws me, I kind of lay on my back and it catch over their shoulder passes. Cause those, those angles are really hard to get. So, um, after practice, man, I lay down and Matt just, Matt drills until we, and Joey does it during the games, man. So I don't try to get as many catches like that as you can, just so you can see it as often as you can because the opportunities aren't necessarily always there to do a hundred other practice. So, um, those, those help a lot. Those after practice drills.
