 Season ticket members, sweet partners, welcome to a Hangout with Coach Mike Vrable with Amy Wells and Mike Keith. Coach, it is so good to see you to be talking about some ball. We are, we're fired up and ready to go. And literally hundreds are joining us tonight for what we hope will maybe be the first of a few Hangouts that we do this off season. How are you? I'm doing great guys. I miss seeing you and hopefully with the if the responses is good enough to for yours and Amy's precious time. We will we will continue to have these but I miss you guys and it's great being here. Amy, I thought there was beer and pizza involved. I don't think that's true but nonetheless, we have football right? Absolutely and I think football is better than beer and pizza most of the time. All three together is pretty neat. So hopefully some of you who are enjoying the Hangout, maybe you're having some pizza or or something good and the beverage of your choice and we're going to take questions from you throughout the program and we're going to compile a few. Amy, how are we doing that? How are we getting those loaded up? Well, Mike Keith, I'm glad you asked because if you go to Twitter and use hashtag Titans Hangout hashtag Titans Hangout, I will be getting all of these questions on Twitter. I'll put them all together and we'll ask Coach Frable and hopefully get you some answers so hashtag Titans Hangout. All right, so Amy busy keeper busy. That's right. That's the idea. So I would guess it's safe to say you're digging deep into the draft right now aren't you Mike. Well, we are into that draft. We're into the virtual part of the draft where the roles and the world we live by is vastly different than what it's been. You know, the combine isn't going to be what we're used to. And so that'll take some manipulation, but we're already started. We've met with some players on Zoom and I think that process is off to a great start. All right, we've gotten a lot of questions, preview questions, if you will, about staff, because that's been sort of the biggest news that the Titans have made since the end of the season. So Amy and I are going to dive into a few of those because we don't want to be repetitive and duplicate throughout the course of the program. So I'm going to start off asking you about the defensive staff and Mike, as Amy and I have gotten to know you, we know you're a guy who studies like crazy. You take your time, you go through processes. I know you worked through a lot of things after the season determining what you were going to do with your defensive staff. You looked at a lot of options. Tell us why you settled on Shane Bowen to formally lead the defense as the defensive coordinator. Well, I think first and foremost, I think Shane is, you know, qualified. He's very intelligent. I think he communicates well. I think he's got a great vision for what we want to do. I think he's always looking to improve, which that'll start with me and John and our organization. You know, we have to improve every year. That's what this business is about. I think Shane will do that. I think that the assistant coaches have to do that and then obviously the players ultimately have to do that as well. How will the mechanics of the defensive staff and how everything works? How will they be different than last year now that he is formally the defensive coordinator? I mean, I think that's a lot of, you know, nothing really is going to change. You know, I mean, I'm still going to have an input on what I feel like is all three phases of our football team. I didn't feel like I was somewhat competent to be able to talk to Auk about special teams or give input on defense and offense. I wouldn't do that, but I like doing that. I like being a part of all three phases, and then that won't change. Shane is going to just now have the title that everybody, you know, covets. But, you know, Ryan Crowe, you know, we did make some moves in and around the coaching staff. Ryan Crowe is going to come back over from special teams and work a little bit on defense with the outside linebackers. You know, we've hired a former player and a college coach, Kineci Udezi, who we're really excited about to help us with the defensive line and some of the quality control stuff. And then Zach Kerr was with the defensive line last year and he'll help Jim Hazlet with the inside linebackers. You know, Zach will be coming over. He's still handling some of the quality control stuff, but given some perspective with the inside linebackers. And, you know, he's unique. He was an offensive coordinator in college and really like what Zach's done so far with us as well. All right, let me go back to Ryan Crowe for just a second, because Shane Bowen was the outside linebackers coach. Now you give Ryan Crowe that opportunity to things. How much do you think that potentially helped Shane that he doesn't have a specific position and he can focus on being the defensive coordinator? And also, why is Ryan Crowe the right answer to coach the outside back? Yeah, well, Matt Edwards, you know, Matt Edwards worked with that group last year. I wanted to get Matt back on to special teams. I felt like the way that him and Craig worked together two years ago was something that I liked. You know, Ryan is a young, exciting coach who was creative, who has background in really all three phases, having worked on offense and defense with us and then special teams. And so, you know, I think that he brings a background that's going to allow these guys to learn, but also, you know, I think be creative in his role as he coaches that position. Finally, Mike, last one on defense for me. How much more important was the thought about continuity and staff knowing that it certainly feels like your offseason is going to again be very virtual. Well, I mean, I think that the continuity is something that I always covet. I think that, you know, we have to continue to push each other and we have to think differently and do some things differently. We don't have to change what we believe in, but we're going to have to do some things differently in all three phases throughout our organization. But continuity is certainly something that I believe in. I believe in developing players. I believe in developing coaches and when you can do that and be able to promote from within, it allows a structure for opportunity. Now, Coach, I want to continue with that theme of continuity, but ask you about the offense because Todd Downing was promoted from tight ends coach to offensive coordinator when Arthur Smith left to become a head coach. Why was he such a good fit for that position specifically? What do you see in him that makes you feel like your offense is in good hands? Well, I think he's got a great understanding of our offense and what we're trying to do. Having really assisted Arthur as a tight end coach, but also someone that could help him and Todd's called plays before. And he helped Arthur and met extensively with him was a large part of what we did in the red zone and his knowledge and his passion. And again, I think he did a great job with that unit that he had. And that's what we always strive for is do the best job at the job that you have. And I think some opportunities will come for you. So there was a position left open in the tight ends room and Luke Steckel was moved into that role. Now Luke's a guy that we've seen kind of work through the coaching ranks. Why is now the right time to give him his own room? Well, because he's earned it. I think he's earned that opportunity. He's earned the right. I've watched him work. You know, kept Luke here when I got here. He's done nothing but in Excel and every job that we've given him. And again, he worked hand in hand with Arthur last year to help Arthur with things that he needed. I challenged Luke to do some things last year to improve. I felt like he did that. And, you know, I'm excited to watch him work with, you know, work with that group. Well, it really seems that you were pleased with the performance of the Titans offense of coaching staff and the Titans offense was really dynamic in 2020. How much do you attribute that success to the teachers that you have on that side of the ball? Well, I mean, I think I'm always going to attribute the success to the players, Amy. I mean, that's, that's what this game comes down to. Having had an opportunity to play it and coach it. But I do think that we have great teachers. I think that that, you know, when I see drills that Tony Doos does with Derek Henry, translate onto the field. I know that you guys, you know, are at practice and you watch those things. And as you're watching our games and covering them and you're like, yeah, I can remember when Tony was working on that with Derek and, you know, Derek's such a large part of what we do. And, you know, drills that Rob does with AJ or drills that Todd did with Jonu or any of them. And that has to translate over to the field. And I think that we've done that. Now, we don't have all the answers offensively. I mean, they were games where, you know, we didn't, we didn't play very well, you know. So I don't want to sit there and say that we have all the answers. You know, we have to play better against, you know, elite defenses, you know, Chicago and Green Bay, we didn't play very well. The second Ravens game, you know, so Pittsburgh, there's, there's some things that we have to, to do better. And I'm confident that we'll, you know, we will. Right around the corner, three Titans fans, actually four, because there's a couple and then two other Titans fans are going to get a chance to ask Mike Vrable a question in person. You can send in a question via Twitter. Tell them, Amy, how you do it. Hashtag Titans Hangout. Go right now. All right, so we're going to get in as many as we can. But before we jump into more questions, let's take a look at the top five moments of the Titans 2020 season. His career long knotted altitude is 58. Right hack for the lead. Snap, set, kick. Henry is in the gun. Okay. It's the king cat. Henry running to the left, into the inside, cuts down, tight down, 36. Play fake cat. He'll rolling to the right. He could throw it. He could run it. He'll pull back in the last very few people thought this could happen tonight. As the Titans after 16 days off, get it done again. Right hack, 37 yards to win it. Snap. Slowman's kick is up. His kick hits the upright. South champions reside in the 61 gives Henry, Henry charging forward for five yards and a first down at 2000 history for the king. It was hard to pick just five. There is no doubt about it, but hope you enjoyed that. And we're so excited that three. Again, I got it wrong. It's four because, because I've got Shannon and Randy together, but we're going to get three questions out of four people for coach Mike Vrable. AB Wells and I are thrilled to have them with us. I bet Shannon asked the question for their family. You think Shannon's talking? Just a hunch. Shannon and Randy from Hopkinsville, better known to all of us locals is Hoptown. How's the weather up there? A little snowy, but it's getting better. Titans football is getting ready to come up for us. All right, these good folks sit in section 237. Shannon, Randy, fire away from Mike Vrable. All right, first of all, coach, we like the way the direction the team's going. You're doing an outstanding job. But with that being said, our past defense in the bottom eight last year, what are we going to do to turn that around? Well, first of all, thank you guys for your support being season ticket members. You know, we look forward to getting everybody back into the stadium, being able to interact with our fans. And absolutely, Randy, this is this is a passing league. This is, you know, they pay the quarterbacks 30 million for a reason. And that's something that we have to improve on. And it starts with it starts with me. It starts with our coaching. It starts with then it then it goes to personnel. You know, and at the end of the day, you got to have some guys that can rush and you got to have some guys that can cover. And I do think that we're going to still continue to be multiple and play, you know, some different coverages. And I think that that's important. That's that's been proven to work. And those are some things that we'll continue to do. But, you know, that is something that you have to do in the national football league. You have to affect the quarterback. You have to be on body. You can't sit there and and play a lot of zone. I think you can mix it up. But at the end of the day, you got to have guys that can that can match up with people. You lost the bet coach because Randy asked the question. I absolutely thought that question. Do you think you want to throw in there, Shannon, because it's your time to you're on the program. Well, I love football. So that's why I'm here. What do you love about football because I always ask our draft guys like a I mean, they're every they all love football. They don't they don't like love everything else that comes with it, but they love football. What do you love about football, Shannon? You know, I grew up with Dallas and the Steelers. And that's the era that I come from. And just it was a part of every every Sunday. And, you know, that's how I grew up. And so, like Margaret said earlier, having the NFL team come to Nashville, it's just been a blessing that we can go see NFL football here. It's just been wonderful. What's your favorite position to kind of watch? I love the blue crew drum line. No, no, no quarterback center center. Ben Jones, there you go. That's great stuff. Hey, listen, Shannon and Randy, you're representing an important part of Titans Nation and that is all of our fans in western Kentucky who have been with us since day one. Thanks for being season ticket members and keep all those people up in the blue grass. Going with the Tennessee Titans is what's a different blue down here, but they can be for that too. And go Titans. Yeah, go to that away. Thank you. All right. Rashad, Rashad from section 121. You're on the program. How are you, my friend? I'm doing great. This is exciting. It is exciting. I really appreciate what y'all are doing with the season ticket holders being a, I guess a lifelong inaugural season ticket member and coach for able pleasure to meet you again. I met you, I guess the first time you hosted a radio show when you first came. I think it was your birthday if I'm not mistaken and got to take a picture with you. So my question is, there's always a risk versus reward factor in signing a star leader in their career. With a tale of two players, Tom Brady and Jadavian clown, you one who continues to pay dividends two decades into his career, the goat and another which did not pan out for whatever reasons, injuries. How do you approach the risk versus rewards factor with JJ watt during this phase of his career. Well, one, you know, first of all, I want to thank you, you know, just like Randy and Shannon and all our other season ticket members want to thank you for your excitement for for having a jersey on and buying our apparel and being excited about football. You know, those are those are two great examples. And, you know, when you go into free agency that there's a lot of things about player acquisition that go into it what's best for your football team. You know, cost basis is also a part of it. The fit is a part of it and then the need and then what you need what you're you feel like your team needs and so, you know, you mentioned JJ watt there'll be other, you know, veteran players that become available that will have to have discussions on and we have had discussions on JJ watt and, you know, John alluded that to that the other day. So, you know, those are all those are a lot of things that go into it. I'm about, you know, bringing in free agents, certainly ones that are past, you know, 30 or in the back half of their career. And so those are all things that you wage and you determine. That's a really good question. Want to introduce your friend there. Yeah, my friend. This is my son. He's a usage. He's in at Belmont. Another one going right now, don't you. What's that? You got some basketball going at Belmont right now. We're doing. Oh yeah, the best and man we love football to we're playing football outside in the backyard in the snow. In the corner of forest hills and green hills. And boy that snow was incredible almost reminded of that New England versus writers game right Mike. Yeah, exactly. That's a great memory. I mean you love football and that was, you know, the old tuck rule that was a night game and that that snow started and really there wasn't much snow during the day and it started around three o'clock and it snowed all the way through to 830 and, you know, there were 10 and 12 inches of snow on the field and that kick that Adam Venetieri made will be the greatest kicked in NFL history, just because of the conditions. It was hard even just to play football alone kick kick a 50 yard field goal. We were joking with the coaches this morning on a staff meeting. We're working from home but you know that back in the day, we would put jeans on and sweatpants over jeans and go outside and play football. And that that was our version of snow pants. At least you had snow versus that ice game that cold game in the playoffs into January 2004. When you'll beat us and I was wondering if you're the one who caused Drew Bennett to drop that pass at the end of the game. I remember, I just remember I think in that game I hit Steve McNair as hard as I thought I'd hit anybody. And I was just praying that he fell down and I just opened my eyes and I'm like, please tell me he fell down. And, and he did so. Thank goodness. That's funny. All my kids now they're all in college and high school, but they all went to the Titans game as, as when they're under two as lap children so they grew up watching the Titan since 99. And it's like, it's a blessing to have you all here. I mean, I was talking to Sean Mahalik that even up till today when we go to the Titans game, and I see that NFL logo growing up a Steelers fan in the 70s. It's like, you can't under appreciate it. It's a blessing. So thank you. Well, we appreciate your support. We really do. Thank you, Rashad. Keep the Bruins going strong there. Want to see him keep it up. All right, Margaret. I love your, I love your, is that ship lap? Oh, no, it's actually not. It's actually from a hundred year old horse barn barn. Yeah, she just under a ship lap or whatever. Yeah. I was trying to show my HGTV there. HGTV scowled out there. Chip and Joanne, you've been watching Chip and Joanne. They're not my favorites, but we like you here, Mike. We like you here. Thank you. Thank you. You're nice to say, Hey, thanks for doing this. And you're in the three holes. So you get a chance to ask coach a question. Yes. So I've been a season ticket holder also since 99 and we're so glad that you are here. We're so glad that you're here coach. We're happy to be here too. So I have a draft question. So my question is for your first pick, are you going to pick an offensive player or a defensive player? Well, hopefully we can pick the best player, Margaret. Hopefully we can pick the best player. And, you know, we have to, we have to do a great job at player acquisition. Whether that be our activity and free agency and then the draft, which is something that we'll have to continue to do a great job at. And we will have some guys that, you know, maybe didn't get a whole lot of playing time this year that coming out of that draft from last year. And then we'll have to add to it with a group of young players that we'll be excited about. Great question, Margaret. Thank you. All right, Shannon and Randy, Rashad, Margaret, season ticket members, thank you for your support. And thanks for being with us tonight to ask questions in person. It's not easy to do, Amy. No, this is hard work. I'm glad they took some of the heavy lifting off. But you're in front of a lot of people throwing out your question and coach, I gotta say they did pretty well. They did great. We love you too, Amy. So next thing we do, we're taking your questions via Twitter, hashtag Titans Hangout, Amy Wells. This is your time to shine just like we'll do the OTP cues on the official Titans podcast better known as the OTP. Hopefully you all subscribe and you all listen each week. This is the time. Hashtag Titans Hangout. Amy Wells has questions. Amy, I will step aside, fire away. Thank God, Amy. I mean, it's like it's like we've got it voice of the Titans. We understand. I know. We've got to let Mike Keith recharges batteries a little bit. So I'm going to take over. We have so many questions from Titans fans so many questions. And I just can't wait to get started. So this first one is from Jack. He's in Arlington, Tennessee. And he asks, can you give us some insight into how both John Robinson staff and your staff work together to make the best decisions in free agency and the draft. Absolutely. And, you know, we've had our free agent meetings, you know, so after the season we do a lot of self scout we are thorough in our self scout of what we are as a team. We have evaluations with John our coaches speak to John and to myself about their positions about the players about their future about the vision that they have for those players at that point in time. And then we send them off with a free agent list of potential players at their position for them to evaluate. John and I obviously do the same thing. Those coaches will have them come back and we'll meet with them. They'll give us their vision on those players if they feel like they're fit where they like to coach them what they know about them. And, and then we take that information we take the scouts information and what John and I feel is best for the team. You know, and then you try to make something work, you know, financially and fit wise for the football team. The same would be said for the draft the player the coaches. We all have a position that they'll look at and that they'll evaluate scouts have areas and crossover checks. So, one scout maybe a southeastern scout and someone from the Midwest may do crossover and look at his guys and his area. But, but really the biggest impact that our scouts and our coaches make is in the post draft and it's something that, you know, is critical to filling out a roster and we've had some success here Mike and Amy and in all our fans with with those guys that for whatever reason passed through the draft. And there's a lot of good football players that that go on drafted for whatever reason. And, and we have a great system and those scouts and coaches work hard at that and, and then we try to, to add some players to our roster wants to draft is over so that that's really the, the, you know, I think there is some quite a bit of inclusion with that process from from a coaching standpoint and and being able to work with scouts. I've got a question from hashtag Titans hang out this is Josiah, and he's kind of keeping in the same vein of how you and john Robinson work together. He said I'm a huge fan of what you and J Rob are doing with the cap projected to decrease. How do you plan on handling that while still improving the team and re signing some free agent. Yeah, I mean there's decisions that have to be made every year financially I mean this is that's this is the nature of the National Football League. There is a business side of it. And that you have to make some decisions. And, and as we always try to do we try to do them with the best interest of the Tennessee Titans in mind. And sometimes that's that's resigning our own guys. And sometimes, you know that players go and, you know that they, they bargained as an NFL football player I mean they they collectively bargained and they fought for free agency, and I was able to be a part of that. And so the players that is their number one right as a player when they reach free agency is to take advantage of that and sometimes, you know somebody's willing to offer them on and compensate them more than what their current team is willing to. And I think that that's their right to go and do that for their family. Sometimes it works that you're able to resign your own guys as well. Well speaking of compensation, Stephen asks how often does a team keep a less expensive player, maybe over a better player to try and stay under the salary cap, or do you have the opportunity to adjust salary. Well, we, you know, that that's a that's a two way street, you know every deal is a two way street. You know that it's got to be good for the team and it's got to be good for the player. And I would say, I learned early on, probably in my fifth or sixth year of the National Football League that that at the end of the day the business of the National Football League is that the players job the coach and the team job is defined a better, younger, cheaper player. And every veteran's job is to not allow that to happen. And I always felt that as a player that they were trying to find someone that was better and cheaper than me and every draft that's why I watched every draft and watched every outside linebacker they drafted in the second or third round and knew that that guy was going to be the guy that was picked to potentially take my job and it was up to me to, to not let that happen. And at the end of the day is is really what the National Football League is about. And there's a there's a lot of veteran guys that, you know, regardless of their compensation, you just can't get rid of them. You know, I mean, they're too valuable to the football team. Mortimer from Chattanooga, Tennessee asks, given that we need a better pass rush this season, do you think that it is more likely to happen via free agency or the draft. It could happen really in both. I mean, I think that that's, you know, when you have needs, you always are looking to fill them, you know, in the best way and that may be in free agency and it could potentially be in the draft and you could find a player that you like, at different parts of the draft that that could help you out, you know, on the edge as well. Coach, this next question is one of my favorites. I'm excited about it. This is from Cason in Thompson Station. He says, what is your favorite thing about being a head coach? Yeah, I mean, obviously winning is my favorite thing. Winning, but but I would say that having their responsibility to stand in front of a football team and look out there and understand that everybody's got, we all got some stuff going on. Sometimes the guy next to each other, they don't know what stuff each other's got going on, but I've been given a great responsibility to be able to understand what each of them are going through. And that's that's something I take very seriously to try to help those guys through that. Because, you know, this is a, you know, the problems that everybody has around us, they don't fail to exist because we coach in the NFL or we play in the NFL. And I think that that's the cool thing for me is to try to help guys and improve them, both on the field and off the field. Well, coach, you have a player who played pretty well in 2020 and his name is Derek Henry. Brandon from Memphis asks, what are your thoughts on Derek Henry winning the offensive player of the year, and how do you get him to build on last year's performance while constantly evolving the offense to match everybody's strength. I'm extremely excited and happy for Derek to get that recognition, had a fantastic season. He's fun to coach. You know, he understands that this offense and this team is going to be put on his shoulders and he's very comfortable with that and I hear a lot. He knows his, his carries and his workload and, you know, he's, he's up to that challenge and he knows what he's signing up for and, you know, if we felt like that was a detriment to his, his, his play, you know, we would do that but we feel like that there's a fine line that we, you know, try to keep and Derek's honest with us and how we have to manage him through throughout the week but he is diligent in his preparation to make sure that he's ready to go on Sunday. I think that you have to continue to be creative and how we, you know, get him the ball and run the football. We have what we call bread and butter and, you know, you have to expand on that so that, you know, teams just can't sit there and, and play one one certain scheme and we'll continue to try to do that. And then also, you know, do do things that we think can help and compliment the other players on the offense. Coach hashtag Titans hangout is rocking and rolling right now people are sending in their questions like crazy. Here's one from Brian, he asks what is your biggest mindset going into the off season and heading into next season. Well, Brian, I think that it's about improvement. It's about reflection. It's about you know, things that we believe in, you know, I mean, things and taking what we think and believe in our culture and seeing where you need to change and seeing where there were breakdowns. And I think that that's the exciting point that everybody has at this point in time in the season. And I would say that that's just my job each and every day is to meet with the coaches. But the biggest thing is I want creativity. You know, this is the time for creativity. This is the time to, to come up with ideas and see what we think of them. And I don't want guys to say, Hey, this sounds crazy. I mean, it's like that commercial, it's only weird or crazy if it doesn't work. And, you know, so we want to be creative, we want to try things that are that are different. And that's what the off seasons for Well, coach along that same mindset cash asks, what is some advice that you would give an aspiring college coach or any coach really Well, I'm in the advice I think that it's to try to improve each and every day it's to do the best job and the job that you have you've always heard me say this and not be a coach that you know is always looking for the next job and always looking to try to to work the phones I think that that's something that always comes up and being loyal to your team and loyal to your staff and loyal to your organization is something that is critical and something that I value a lot, a lot here and everywhere that I've been. And so, you know, continue to find ways to professional develop, you know, could find ways to meet and to zoom I think everybody is so much more comfortable with zoom now and sharing a screen and putting film on and a whiteboard on the film and you know so it's going to allow coaches and people to to gather from all parts of the country to be able to talk football and talk things that that we all love and you know our coaches are going to be doing that. I've asked them that was part of our staff meeting this morning was by you know after the end of the weekend I'd like to have three or four ideas that each of you guys are going to do for professional development and I don't need dates and you know when it's going to happen but I want ideas on you know who you may want to meet with and who you may want to reach out to and and work with and try to get better at your job. Coach we talked earlier in the program about the continuity within your coaching staff but turnover is inevitable, especially with the professional development that you mentioned people move on sometimes. John from Nashville asks how does the turnover in assistant coaches affect your ability to develop young players. Well, you know we have to, we have to have good young coaches in here that that can also, you know, help when we hire what you would consider a quality control coach. You know we're not looking for somebody that just is in data entry, you know we want, we want men and women that can coach football that can take a group of younger guys and go out to the mobile classroom and provide an understanding and help these guys learn. So you have to be able to find ways to develop players and we have a thing that we believe in and developing those guys is you got to have some small victories along the way you got to be creative. You got to get something that there has to be some testimony to say hey, you know I did this with this player and you know they had a lot of success and then along the way they have to see themselves improve and if they're always at the third team. Then you can tell them all you want about how much better they're getting, but until they see themselves move up the depth chart or get an opportunity. You know that the growth is going to be hard to come by, and you know I tell them they're all going to get an opportunity some of them are going to get more than others that's the nature of this business but but every player that is on our roster is going to have at least one opportunity to show us and most importantly their teammates that they can they can make an impact and add value to this team. Coach we got another question kind of related to the draft on hashtag Titans hang out. He asked coach how do you weigh positional needs verse best player available in the draft. If a player is ranked 15th on your board at 22 but he also plays a position that you have stock, but you need a spot where's where what are you doing there, how do you how do you navigate this word problem that we know. Yeah, no that's something that john and I discuss and have conversations about. You know ultimately he has, you know, his philosophy, but it's all about, you know, where can you get players are there more players in the draft that are in free agency and if there's a heavy group at one position you say okay, you know, maybe make this best player and know that we still got, you know, five or six players on our board at this position that we like. And that's why we look at our draft board and ultimately I think this is what I've really noticed is, you're going to have clusters of players you're going to have players that are clumped together you're going to have three offensive guards. Okay, I'm going to use Nate Davis as an example we, we were in a group Nate was in a group with three players, and around the time that he got picked. You know we needed to determine which player out of that group was going to be best for us. And I think we made a great decision, you know, seeing the player that he's become and will continue to to get better. But that you look at him and there's going to always be receivers that are kind of clumped in there they got the the ranking is what the ranking and it's, you know, AJ's in here with these other three guys and it's like okay. Everybody is stacking which one's best for you that somebody else may think this guy is and that's really when I watch the draft that's kind of how when your draft boards where you want it, you kind of see these clumps of players and they all kind of go, you know around the same area you just got to figure out which one's best for you. Michael from Hendersonville says, will you be looking for a kicker in the upcoming draft. He's not messing around he just wants to know who you're going to pick right off the bat. You know I mean I think that you know if there's a kicker available that we like I mean again I, the only way that I can evaluate kickers is if they make them, and we have got to, we've got to make more kicks, and then I don't. I don't know if it's me, maybe it is I don't know, but you know we their job is to make them and I can't tell them how to kick them straight, I can just see if they go straight or go through. We've had some blocks but you know we feel like you know we're going to have to address that position and see what Steven's going to do and you know he's his contracts up and you know what he wants to do but we're going to have to have guys in here that have a position and and that can we can find somebody that's going to make them. Coach, this is from Lawson, he says you were a great player, and you are a great coach from your experience in both roles do you think it's more difficult for young players to understand the physical and mental challenges of succeeding in the NFL. Do I think it's difficult for young players. Yes. I think it's, you know what what their idea of the National Football League is may not be really what it is. It's not about the glitz and the glamour and the all pro and the cars and the, and the G wagons and the penthouse sweets. It's about a grind. You know I mean it is a grind to show up every day to add value to show the team that they, you know can't can't live without you, and that is a daily grind and you know you have to prove your value to the football team each and every day. And I think that our guys understand that it's it's certainly not perfect, but that that's the reality of the National Football League that it's hard it's difficult it's competitive. It's the most competitive sport in the world, and that's why we love it. Right Keith. That was crazy. So many good questions and there's about 300 more that we couldn't even get to. So we're going to have to do this again at some point have to, we're going to have to do it again. But he mentioned G wagon which I know is what you drive so I figured I toss it back to you now in your G wagon. Greatness no really is super great great traction. That was a great job Amy. Well, that's good. She does that well well played Miss Wells very well done. Mike, when you actually close the yapper Mike she does okay. I know. That's why that's why she took it she told me just be quiet I got this. But before we go with the season ticket members. I know you love doing these with the season ticket members you enjoy the interaction. If you would just kind of give them a little thought on where you think we are right now as an organization what's coming up and and just. I don't know just give us a little sign off here and then I'll close it out. I mean I think that we. At least I got here and asked me what I wanted the culture to be I wanted the culture to be about winning and competitiveness, and it's always going to be about winning and being competitive and what we do. How we how we practice and most especially how we play and I think we've done that. We have to continue to improve I mean it's I mean we have to have some sustained success to continue to define ways to play for championships that that will always be the goal. But I think that we do have a culture here that has shown that it can withstand, you know, some tough times, you know when you lose a few games in a row or you don't practice for two weeks and because of a pandemic and go out there and play I think they're resilient and they are great teammates and again it's it's something that I'm excited to be able to coach very honored and gracious to be able to be the head coach of the Titans with this group of players. We understand that we have to continue to get better we have to continue to be creative in what we do. And that's that's where we're at and again I appreciate this will do this again if there's interest from the fans I want to do this, because I know that when we had 10,000 people in there, that it sounded like we had 30 or 40,000, and it did and that that is a testament to those fans that came and supported us and supported us through this entire season and will support us going into next year. Thank you for doing this. You got it guys. And to Amy great job as usual to the fans. You've been great. Like he's talking about how you responded in the playoff game and the noise you made they've been like that since day one, and we appreciate you more than we could ever say. I want to remind everybody the deadline to renew is Monday so make sure and get in there because if you've seen the schedule we, you know, we're going to need your help in 2021 at Nissan Stadium. We've got work to do because we want to do the heavy lifting that goes to that next place so we'll do this again for Mike Frable, Amy Wells, Mike Keith. Thank you so much for joining us for the Titans hang out with the head coach. Thanks guys.
