 Kevin, good afternoon. Obviously, haven't gotten to see all the guys that have been added to this defensive side of the ball this off season yet, but as you look at the changes, what are you excited about with these people coming? I mean, like you said, obviously everybody isn't here, but coming from our virtual meetings, you know, I think we really made some good strides. Obviously, Shane said it yesterday, made some little tweaks, made some improvements on the defense, and obviously coming back, being here with the guys running around, competing, having fun. It's been a lot of fun, honestly. You know, Christian Fulton, Breon Borders, Imani Hooker back there with me at safety, all the guys in front of me at the D line, we're just having a lot of fun just trying to get better, you know, every single day, just 1% every day. Buck. What's going on, Kevin? You bring up 1% better every day during these OTAs, but specifically with this time of year, how are you and your group trying to translate what you're doing in the meeting rooms to the practice field at this point? I know it's still early. I mean, obviously, something that was really talked about for us last year was obviously a historically bad year on third downs. So I think that's something that we're stressing a lot just this OTA of being better on third downs, really being aggressive, stressing, you know, not being so far off, just starting short, making sure that we're getting up on these guys we're challenging. We feel like we can play with anybody in this league. So we have to go out there and show improve every single day of practice and teachers to get better at those little things. Kayla. Hey, KB, obviously still early on, but what are your impressions, Ben, of some of these younger guys that have joined the defense? I've been really impressed, honestly. Like I said, I think Christian Fulton, Breon, Chris Jackson, to pretty much every guy, I feel like I know I'm going to lead some guys out, but I think everybody's been improving, getting better. And that's really what it's all about. Obviously, you know, we're not full pads or nothing like that. But what I've seen that I think guys are really trying to pitch in the details, do the little things, do the things that their coach would do every day. And obviously it's not a finished product, but we're working towards, you know, trying to be a finished product by the time the season kicks off. Terry. KB, I know you've always viewed yourself as a guy who's a leader and leading by actions and words, but literally now kind of being the last man standing from last year starters in the secondary. Do you embrace that role and take it even more seriously this off season? Yeah, absolutely. I obviously still have to lead by example, but being a vocal leader, not only just for defense, but for the entire team, you know, reaching over to the other side of the ball. You know, coaching of young receivers, if they have questions about, you know, what things we're doing on defense, I'm trying to help those guys out to help us team up. So I'm just trying to take a vocal leadership with the entire team, not just the secondary and just showing improved every single day, making sure that I'm, you know, full effort, full tilt, full tilt to the taggle, excuse me. And just doing little things right every single day to show the young guys this is how to be a pro. This is how we go out there and win ball games in Tennessee Titans. So just trying to do little things right. Luke. Kevin, we know that you and Kenny and Doreen Malcolm and some of the other guys that were here last year and beyond that were really good at communicating and being on the same page in the secondary. What's it going to take to reestablish that and get you guys on the same page with all of the new players you're going to have this year? Building relationships. I think in a defensive back room, probably one of the most underrated qualities of a good defensive back room is relationships. So you're trying to build those relationships not only, you know, in the locker room, in the meeting room, but outside of, you know, outside of the building, obviously we're still under certain protocols. But doing whatever we can to try to continue to build those relationships, getting to know each other better. And obviously once we get the full group in here, that's what it's going to be about. Because I think once you really get to know a guy, and you kind of get close to the guy, it's kind of easy to be out there in the field, you know, you can kind of give a guy a look and he already know what you're talking about. And I think that's the biggest thing that we have to continue to build this year is the relationships just off the field, so we can feel more comfortable with each other, you know, on Sundays. And I'm curious, have you met at all with coach Schwartz or worked with him in practice at all and what's your understanding of how he's going to be able to help you guys? Yeah, I mean, obviously he's here as an advisory role. This guy has been doing it for a long time at a high level coaching a bunch of different teams been ahead coach been the coordinator. And he actually worked me out at MTSU coming out. I think he was with the Eagles, and even just talking to him back then he has so much knowledge to give me about some guys that he's coached. And I haven't met with him on a one on one basis just yet but I've had conversations with him on the field, just talking about different things I think it's going to be a great asset for us throughout the entire year. Jim Wyatt. Kevin, you've talked about been relationships. I know every year is as a new team is different, but does this does this seem like you guys and a lot of ways are starting over a lot of guys up front knew a lot of guys in the back end new and are you just are you still in the process of learning guys understanding guys and how much of a challenge is that. Yeah, honestly man some that I've learned and you know as I'm, you know, continue to play in this league is that you know you have to start over every single year. Obviously, I think that, you know, sometimes some successes or certain things that you do from the year before can carry over, but I think as it as a mentality wise, you have to kind of eliminate all the success that you had last year restart restart your mind reset goals and start all over so obviously yes we're starting over this year. We have a new group of guys, we have we have new goals. We want to be a lot better than we were last year so that's the motivation trying to go up and trying to improve right if it was third downs past defense sacks, everything. We're just trying to improve it every facet of our defense so yes absolutely we're starting over. Hey Kevin seem like last year you were maybe at safety playing more left right, then you had in the past during during your time with the team. Is that an accurate assessment. Do you anticipate more strong free more center field going forward or is that maybe to be determined. Obviously to be determined, I think that hook has a really good skill set he can pretty much do everything out there. So me and him we're working together. He's going to be able to do some things I'm going to do some things so it's not necessarily going to be, you know, free or strong or left or right it's going to be interchangeable parts of the defense. So whereas though you know a quarterback or offense don't get a beat on. Okay, this guy's always playing man or this guy's always in the post or something like that so we're continuing to work on different things trying to you know switch it up obviously this is the time to try everything. Once you get the training can we kind of lock down on you know different skill sets and things that we're better at or you know things we continue to work on so yeah I wouldn't say it's a definite of what we're going to be doing where I heard you're trying to improve. Was it more left right last year than it had been. Oh, I want to say that was it. Yeah. I mean, obviously yes up most of the time I was maybe lined up on the left side of the field. Um, but at the same time like you said depending on matchups depending on different teams. If it was a tight end obviously a top guy obviously I want to be the guy to cover him so like I said just depends on the formation the call that we have on defense, you know depends on our alignment. Appreciate. Yeah. Gentry. Okay, but I know it's a business and the sort of thing happens every year but but did the level of attrition this offseason and the secondary surprise you with the number of guys and you know now is you kind of bring in a new group what what do you most want to see to try to improve on last season. Yeah, honestly man nothing is leave really surprising every single year you see things that you might not thought was going to happen. You know business and just like you said I understand it to the fullest and those certain things that you can't necessarily be concerned about you just go out there and try to put your best foot forward. You know whatever happens happens with this group of guys obviously we have new faces in the in the secondary. So we're just trying to jail come together, get better, and you know let those things handle the self you know at the end day we're just trying to be the best that we can be be the best in the NFL. And you know that's our goal. So at the end of the day we're going to try to do anything we can every single day to try to get 1% better. KB when back when Logan was here and you guys had the whole MMCP thing. That was kind of a focal point that brought a new group of guys together kind of became an identity. Is there something like that you want to try to do with this group to kind of make you guys want to give you, give you like one focal point to look at. Yeah I mean know the MMC and be deal with something that kind of just came about organically. And I don't think that you want to try to force an identity on a group of guys you have to continue to work together, and just try to be better. So, when it comes to trying to have like a logo or name. That's something that we have to go out there and earn. So I think for us, obviously with last year I think that we wasn't aggressive enough, you know we wasn't playing. If it was third down so whatever we just got to be more aggressive so if that's one thing that I think that we can try to continue to improve on, you know just as OTA is being aggressive and challenging guys, you know no matter who's out there in the field challenging guys and make guys make test the throws you know those guys get paid to but at the end of the day, if a guy is catching the ball he has to be challenged. So that's our main focus this year is challenging every single person that we go up against, because we fear no one. Yeah, Kev, a couple years ago, you know you have said that you wanted to step up and be a leader and now a money hooker. That's what he's saying he wants to do so my question will be, what are some of the things that that you feel will allow him to be able to step up in that role. And why do you think that he'll be an excellent running mate for you in the safety panel. Yeah, I think you know to be a good leader you have to be a great follower, and I think Imani has been a great follower since he's been here, you know watching me and Kenny are just watching any of the veteran guys learning from them, learning how to be a pro. So now he's going into that role he's out there playing, he's being more vocal he's making calls making checks. And as you know that's the start of it going out there being a sure of yourself knowing what you need to do. So when you assure yourself and know what you need to do, you can coach another guy up and I think he's been doing pretty great at that. I think we're going to be a pretty good running mate this year, we're not going to make any predictions about what we're going to do or anything like that but you know just being out there OTAs and I think we have a really good feel for each other. But you know at the end of the day we can always improve, and we're trying to improve every day. Last question Jim Wyatt. Hey KB what advice you give to you know the young guys with mold in and for Lee and what do you kind of been your early impressions them I know hadn't been out there but just from seeing around the building. Honestly, you know, you know they have their own rehab programs and stuff like that. The something that I just tell them all the time is just you know, watch the veterans. One thing about, you know when I first got in the league I had guys like Jason McCordy Brian the rightful drill know those guys. Not only did I listen with my ears but listen with my eyes. One thing that I did when I first got into the league was, you know, I looked at the parking lot. When I got there in the morning I'm looking at cars, you know what cars here early in the morning. The guys here I'm asking Jason hey what time are you getting here in the morning, or you're getting here to two hours before the beating. Why are you coming so early, you know I'm getting rehab I'm getting the work item I'm doing the little things, and obviously those guys had played for a long time so that's something that I wanted to do. So I just tell the young guys watch the best learn from them as quickly as you can to how to be a pro and the little things you need to do, because the end date is league is obviously very competitive. So everything that you can do to try to elongate your career to God there and make plays and put yourself in position watch more film and things like that is going to do nothing but improve your chances of being successful so that's something I tell all the young guys not just the corner just everybody on the team. And I know it's early but you kind of like their mindset early from what you're saying. Yeah, you know just in the class some of the guys are being sharp. I think that just listening to them in the meetings they sound short themselves, but you know at the end of the day, you got to be able to take it for the meeting room to the field so I'm definitely excited to see the guys on the field. Those guys are working extremely hard to get back to get back out there with us. So hopefully we'll get them out there soon but you know everybody has their own program. I'm excited about those guys honestly.
