 Practice time for the 2023 Reese's Senior Bowl joined by new Titans general manager, Rand Carthon. 10 days into this thing, and you're actually starting to get to do some general manager-ing, aren't you? Yeah, man, you know, my message has always been, I want to get back to keeping the main thing, the main thing, and sort of the main thing gets going. So I'm happy to be back and doing football, and this is my first time actually meeting some of the area guys, so get to spend some time with those guys and interact and get a feel for each other, but most importantly, like you said, we're here. About to get some football going, so that's the most exciting part. It's about players, and the great thing about the Reese's Senior Bowl, the drills, the guys get after it, what do you focus on as you watch your practice? Every practice, you just want to see how they compete, you want to see how they adjust to learning new schemes, new techniques, and how they can carry it over from the meeting rooms to out here. And what Jim Nagin and his staff have built is great. You got NFL coaches from staffs. We're blessed to have Clint McMillan, they're coaching one of the teams, and so, you know, get to see these guys do some higher techniques. And again, it just comes down to how these guys compete and being able to come out here and put their best foot forward. You look at tape, you're going to go to the combine, and you'll do all the measurables, you'll have lots of interviews, but this is still really what it's all about. Oh yeah, 100%, and like I said, it's the cool thing is that we get these interviews. So the interviews, you have the informal, you have the formal, so now you get to get your hands on them, you get to talk ball with them, you get to see how they learn, and like you said, the tape is the tape. We'll have plenty of time to pour through that, but you only get limited interactions with these guys, and so you want to take advantage of that and really get to know them as people. Rand did a great podcast last week with Chris Long, it was fantastic, and you said, Mike Vrable players are big, strong, and tough. What other attributes do you look for as you watch guys practice outside of those obvious things that jump out? I have an instinctive guys. I like to use the analogy of, if Mike, you and I, you invited me to your home, we're leaving from the complex, you give me your address, you're gonna get there before I will, because you're not thinking, you're just driving, you're instinctively driving home. I gotta constantly check the GPS to see if this is the right 400 feet to make this next right turn, so you can't play as fast. So when you have instinctive players, they can cut it loose, they can play fast, and so that's one of the main attributes I look for in guys. Dave McGinnis says there's a draft, and then there's a quarterback draft, and he's taught us well that everybody's gotta have quarterbacks, but in reviewing them, you look at different things. What do you look for on this field during the week at the Reese's Senior Bowl from the quarterbacks? Well, again, these guys, they don't know each other, right? So you got players that you're just now meeting. Some of these guys are fortunate enough to train together, so you kinda know the speed of the receiver. So for these quarterbacks, it's how well they can adjust to these new targets that they're throwing to. These receivers, these tight ends have been taught different releases, which is different from some of these schools that these quarterbacks are coming from. So you just wanna see that, see how they adjust to their new targets, but then see how they lead a group of guys that they've never met before and how those guys buy into them. You're getting up to speed on staff. You're getting up to speed meeting the coaches. You're figuring out all the things that go on with the Titans. Getting ready for the Reese's Senior Bowl, the combine is just four weeks away. Are you sleeping at all? Oh yes, I got a call from Andrew Berry, the GM of the Browns, and he told me, he was like, one piece of advice I can give you is get sleep. I wish someone had told me that when I came in. He said, I tried to do everything. He was like, but you have to make the best and most informed decision. You can't do that if you don't have any sleep and you're not resting. Make the time. He was like, you'll have plenty of time to figure it all out and come up with your plan. He was like, but make sure you get sleep. Well, I know you're gonna get sleep, but I also gonna be interested to watch you watch football and lots of Titans fans interested to keep up with everything you're doing right now. General Manager, Rand Karthon, thanks for the time. Man, anytime, thank you. Appreciate it.
