 Ryan have wasted no time trying to get on the same page with each other. How is that communication and that timing process gone so far? You know, what I would say is our third day of throwing. So obviously there's things we need to work on. We've clicked a lot more than we haven't, so that's good as well. Love Rob, I love the way he coach, I love the way he teach. Not only on the field, but in the film room as well. He makes everything very understandable. And I've been around a lot of coaches. Last year I was lucky to be with a great wide receiver coach in Sean Jefferson. And this year in Rob Moore as well. I know it's early, but how do you feel like the acclimatization process is gone? So are we getting back to the floor with playing football again? And kind of feeling like yourself? I've been doing this for a long time, so I've never really had a problem of feeling like myself. It's football, that's what I do, that's my job. How you like helping? Been a bit for a long time. Excuse me. Now with a second year of receiving and training, how have you been able to mentor him and kind of help shape this game going into a very different angle? I can't speak for T, but watching him out here, I can tell that he's taking his game to another level the way he practiced. Him on the ball, him demanding certain ropes and certain routes. I love that from a young guy. And I can tell that him and I are going to play off each other very well. What's your feeling on the competition all over the side of the football guys you're competing with in the secondary? Going against some great guys, some good DBs, good safeties. We're out there sharpening each other. As today, I feel like the defense won today. And that's what all season and training camp is for, for us to make each other better. Freelance. When did that develop, like how did that start to be something that you were just consistently able to do? And this offense, it's an offense where they trust us as receivers and quarterback to be on the same page. Tim Kelly coached me while I was in Houston and Vrable was on the defensive side of the ball. So Tim Kelly know that I can go out and do certain routes that he trusts me to execute. And so it's only our third day out there. Obviously, it's not what we wanted to be, but we're getting better at it. That first play of one-on-ones yesterday, Fulton was on you pretty good. Ryan threw a nice ball. You did kind of what you're famous for in terms of making a contested catch. How much did you pride yourself on coming down with the ball like that? And were you pleased that right out of the gate, you had a chance to do that and did it? I've been doing that for, you know, since I've been at Clemson. So obviously now you guys get to see it first hand. But it's what I've been doing since I've been playing football. And obviously, Ryan trusts me to just put the ball up in there and for me to come down with it. And hopefully we can keep doing that to build that rapport. How do the DBs react generally to when you make catches like that? What's the variety of things from them getting up, shaking their head? Or how often do they say, man, I can't do much better than that? Sometimes, you know, you make great catches. Sometimes they're going to make great plays on the ball. It's part of the game. I'm not sure what goes through their head, to say, to answer that. But it's football. Well, we both get paid to do our job. They're going to make plays and I'm going to make plays. Malik is obviously still improving as well, just like everybody out here. And that's why we're a training camp. Everybody's trying to get better every day. And that's what Malik is doing as well. Same for Will. This is obviously, this is the NFL. And the transition from college to the NFL as a quarterback and as an NFL player isn't easy. But I can tell that he's putting in the work to get better. I'm sure there's probably one much conversation for you to get 10 here. But how did that all develop? Was there any conversation all about tears, wanting to be the wearer? Or how'd that play out? Now, there was no conversation about that that I didn't know about. Is there a particular reason behind number 10? Is that just something you've worn since high school or whatever? How did you come about wearing 10? Well, you know, Messi was one of my favorite athletes, just being a soccer fan. And I always felt like, if I had a chance, I want to get some respect to Messi. And there's some other reasons behind it as well. I haven't, I'm looking forward to it. I'm a soccer fan. I heard Nassar has a pretty good team. I heard, I remember the attendance a couple of years ago was, you know, one of the most attended soccer games. So I'm looking forward to being part of it as well. When you run your routes on an individual period and stuff, you do something very unique. I've never seen any tension. And immediately kind of go into a jute instead of just running. Is that muscle memory? Is that intentional? How long have you been doing that and the purpose for that? It's muscle memory. And obviously, it's just thinking of a defender being on me, something I tell other receivers to do as well, not just catch it and run. But, you know, think about making a move as well when you catch it. Thanks, Yandere. Thank you, Yandere. You saw the ball on how it wasn't maybe a day when you and Yandere said you all wanted a day. Unbelievable, man. I think that's the motto. We could do it one day. We had a lot of energy. When we first came out here Wednesday, Thursday, whatever it may be, then come out here today. It's like, you know, how can we keep building on that each and every day and not just let it be one day. Each and every day, we want to come out here flying around, having fun. When you're making plays, it's supposed to be fun. But it's also trying to keep that energy up even when Malik threw a 60-yard bomb. Can we come back and shake back from it and keep the energy up? So I think the energy, especially being on defense, the guys up front, because we set the table. The guys up front set the table. Arden, he going to be Arden. He going to fly around. He going to have fun with it. He loud. He bringing the energy. I bring the energy, and it just translates to the back end. So, you know, that's what we need on our defense. Does Arden do something every day that makes you laugh or makes you just go, man, that's crazy? Man, I think that's the best part about Arden. He going to be himself. And I think that's what you want as a teammate. You know, someone who come out when it's in time to hit the field, you know, he going to have that energy. He going to fly around. He going to do something that make you laugh, like you said. Even then, I saw, I was in there getting strung before practicing. And he jumped in a cold tub. And he jumped out and he was like, wake the f*** up. He told himself to wake up. It's just things like that where, you know, he just being himself. And that's what make him who we are. And, you know, who he is, I should say. But, you know, I'm happy he's with us. He brings a lot to our team. You know, he brings the energy. He brings his athleticism and his play style to our defense. And it's fitting right with us. So, like I said, I'm excited to see, I mean, we're going through practice right now. But, you know, when there's really a time to put the pads on, I'm excited to see what more he could do. Do you practice sacks when you guys aren't in pads? Count the same? Do they mean the same? Yeah, it's mean the same. Our goal is to affect the quarterback. In order for, I mean, we talk to stay away from the quarterback in practice. We beat our man and we veer off. We watch film. We see the same film in the offensive line. See, and they know it's a sack. So, no matter if it's walk-through, jog-through or full-speed, our job is to not be blocked. We're bringing it down unblocked. And, you know, we beat our man and we veer off to the quarterback. We know we had a sack in practice today. So, whatever it may be, in order for to get sacks in the game, you have to work your moves at practice. So, yeah, I mean, it's all mean the same to me. Of course, in the game, it's mean more because it actually counts for stats and help your team win games. So, yeah. How have you guys done against the offensive line so far? I mean, we've been back and forth. We're working together. Our goal is to not try to beat up on the offensive line. Our goal is to work together and get each other better. So, I mean, each day has been back and forth. They win rep, we win reps. And it's all about at the end of the day. You know, we better come together as a team and get better as one. I know you're always talking as a front. Making the past defense better, how much is that something that you want to do before? It's big, man. We talked about it the other day. I mean, each and every year since I've been here, we've been top in the run game, like first, last year. Yardport game in last year, first. Right now, it's like, how can we get to the quarterback and affect the quarterback more? And we know, I mean, of course, like teams going to try to run the ball, but we know this is a pass and lead. And the thing about it, you know, we had to sacks. I can't remember exactly how many we had last year, but we had to sacks. But how many in force from we had? The quarterback's from the ball the most out of anybody on the field. They have the ball 100% of the time of the snap. So I think that the goal is to affect the quarterback, to get to the quarterback, but also get the ball off the quarterback, because, like I said, they fumble the ball the most. Man, it's unbelievable. I think that's the goal, not just for we. For each one of our guys, each year, you want to make an improvement. You want to know how you can help the team out. And we came back with a mindset. We were talking this offseason, how he wanted to be stronger, make more plays. He wanted to be on the field more. He's taking that approach. He's coming here. I think he got to stay away from the quarterback where they've had a heart attack. But other than that, man, he's making plays. He getting to the quarterback. He got a pick today. And things like that change games. And right there, I'm sure, I mean, I know about making plays that coaches, they see that. They're bringing attention to them. So just props to him by coming back stronger, ready to work. So I'm excited to see what he can do for us this year. Jeff, you mentioned the pads coming on next week. How much are you guys looking forward to that? Looking forward to it. Did that kind of change the tempo when you added to the practice? I know a lot. For us in the interior, guys, I mean, you're going to just hear more noise. But I mean, it don't change for us. We practice. I mean, that's why we practice these things. You know, we talk to go fast, you know, to protect each other, of course. But at the same time, the pads come on. It suggests a little more feels, I guess, for certain guys. But when we're out there practicing, doing them team reps, you know, we're going full speed. I should say, you know, we're not actually hitting each other like we'll be in pads. But I'm excited for pads. Her D-hop said, we ain't in pads yet. I messed with him on the field. But, you know, things just get more competitive, I would say. Since I've been playing the game of football, guys be happy when the pads come on. But we know how the outcome be sometimes. So yeah, I'm excited for Monday. You know, we get a day off tomorrow with the body recovering, come back flying around Monday. You think about 100 degrees, you know, but you're about every day in camp. I mean, what's it take to hydrate you? How many waters? Hey, man, I drink so much water. Each day I've been weighing in over my weight because of I take everything so serious. Like coming out here, you know, don't wait. I don't wait till the morning of. I like do IVs in it. Even time when I get home or go to the IV spot, I drink hella water. I try to at least get a gallon in right before I go to bed, not including all the water I'm drinking out here. So yeah, I drink a lot of water. I drink the liquid IVs then. Like I just drink a lot to try to get my body ready for practice because, man, we know how the injury is. If you're not hydrated, especially out here, you can easily pull some or whatever it may be. So I take care of my hydration pretty. When you weigh in after practice, what's the motion? I don't lose. I don't lose because I always gain. Because if you see me, I'm always got some type of water jug in my mouth. I mean, my hand, I'm drinking water because I, like I said, I'm taking a lot of reps or if I'm not taking a lot of reps, you know, I know that just sitting in a hot sun, it could drain you. So yeah, since I've been here, especially this year, I have always came out practice heavier than I went in. So. Was it probably the last year ended and some of the moves they were forced to make it under the cap in the off season? Were you ever concerned that maybe this team was going to go through a rebuild? And how happy are you that it looks like they're trying to keep the win to open? I never thought about a rebuild. I like to win. I mean, I don't never approach the game of, or we might lose this game because we ain't got such. And so I approached the game like I want to win. I mean, I told the media that when I think it was OTAs or whatever it may have been early on, I want to win. I know Vraven don't want to win. So I'm sure it's never crossed their mind. I think that was the outsiders look on our team or they want to, they're trying to rebuild. It's a rebuild for the Titans. All gold in this building take day by day. We're going to take it game by game whenever they get here. But right now, we want to build this team now. We, like you said, we are looking at our team now. We made a lot of transitions. We picked up a lot of great guys. I'm sure like with the DHOP pick up, Arden pick up, and those guys are going to help us win again. I'm excited about it. And Jeff also got Harold Landry back. How much does that nice to have him on the field once again? I'm excited, man. I was messing with him the other day. I said, I'm not going to be able to just sit in on me this time because we get to talk to just want to drag, drag because guys like Harold, you know, talk to schedule his speed. They schedule, they never know what may happen with him. You know, he could go to power wherever it may be. But, you know, just his presence, even on the practice field, we're communicating, walk through, we're communicating. I'm happy to have him back. I'm happy he's feeling back to his normal self. And like I said, the more guys we can get on the field, healthy, and you know, I'm sure, especially on the defense side up front, because that's where I start at, you know, it's going to help us win games. Jeff, you guys helped each other out, get better on the offensive side and defensive side. But how crucial is it for what you guys are doing up front to make the guys on the front five be offense better, given that they're all new and trying to figure it out and watching them out? I mean, that's the goal. Each and every day, you know, I talk, I probably talk, me and Arden, I was about to say I talk the most, but I think Arden here now. So we talk so much, but at the end of the day, when we walk out this field, it's a brotherhood. You know, we out here, we're going to compete. Num guys know it. Brewer, you know, Peter, autumn guys, they know that we're going to talk smack, but we're going to compete. But when you come out of the field, it's a brotherhood. And they know that. So when we're on the field, we're going to compete. We're going to get after them. They're going to get after us. We may have a bad play. They may have a bad play. But at the end of the day, you know, all job is to come together as one. And they know it, you know, without the trenches in this league, you don't have nothing. And we saw, and when we talked about it together, we saw last year, when we don't have a good pocket, you know, things don't good, things not happen. We're not rushing the passes. You know, good things don't happen. So, so yeah, man, each and every day, all job is to compete. But also, you know, we're trying to all get to one ultimate goal. Thanks. Yep. Their big rival is Lies. Suggest that for a kid's name. Love it. Mike, with the offseason that Deandre Hopkins had, do you know, during this Randall period, how close- What kind of offseason did he have, Trice? I don't know. It wasn't on our team. Well, that's the thing. Do you monitor to see the condition that he's in, the physical shape, and- We do that for all our players. Is he on, as you ramp up the rest of the team, is he maybe, is he, do you like the pace that he's at? Yeah, I like how he's come in and started to work. And, you know, we'll see where he's at. We don't practice tomorrow. So, our recovery will be critical. And we'll see where guys are at then. We'll have a plan for everybody on Monday. Is it like we just saw from the defense today, I know, even Deandre said that maybe they won the day. I know what they're saying. I'm in one today. That's, I love those. You know, man, I can't wait to see all the highlights. It's some good, some bad. You know, offense makes play. Defense obviously didn't. So that's how this goes. But yeah, I mean, I like the energy. I think the conditioning is there. I see guys, you know, turning and going to the stack. And really, we got to start focusing on fundamentals. And, you know, yeah, we're out there. There's only one team for us to game plan against right now and compete against. But, you know, we're also competing against everybody in this league of trying to improve and get in condition and focus on fundamentals and the details of things that are important in training camp. I looked pretty solid today. What do you think about what he was able to put on? Again, just trying to stay consistent and, you know, be good in the multiple coverages that we're asking him to play. And, you know, again, just his physical demeanor. He just, you know, and again, there were times last year early on just from his rehab and things that he was going through. He just looks physically. He looks better physically. He looks to sell him this morning at breakfast. I say, you know, we at your weight, you know, we monitoring that. And those are things, you know, we have guys that have different problems than the head coach. They have trouble, you know, keeping weight on. And so, you know, we monitor that and making sure that for these hot days that they're eating and Lauren and Frank and Todd are on top of that. So, you know, that's part of, you know, I think Christian just has overall strength in his size that he can be 195 pounds and still be, you know, athletic and still be able to run and transition. So, you know, so far so good. How do you eventually earlier in the week that you'd like to be approached and we'll be just brought coming into camp and doing strange things like that? Was today's play where the NRC throws the interception and bounces back with a nice play after that? Is that kind of embody what you're talking about? I think so, you know, I mean, and just understanding like that's a new look every week, every day that defense is going to put some new things in offensively. We're going to have to see it adjust to it, come back the next period or whatever that may be. And, you know, they made a play. We've made a great play. And then, you know, Malik came back and got everybody in the huddle, settled down and went on to the next situation, which was third down and hit a big play. How do you weigh past rush success or past block success before you're in pads? I mean, I think you can kind of try to see, you know, technique and, you know, whether guys are getting overextended or, you know, what the, you know, width of the pocket may look like. And those are things that we're continuing to improve on. And then, you know, once pads are in, it's just trying to make sure that the interior's building a depth and sitting there so that the quarterbacks, and you hear me yelling to the quarterbacks too, step up, step up in a pocket. If we got a pocket, you know, we have to be able to use it. You know, you see these edge rushers in this league, it's hard, you know, if you over set them, you know, they take a step inside and then the play's blown up. So we have to protect inside out. We got to be able to run them by and in order to run them by, you got to be able to step up and then you have to have a pocket to step up into. Does anyone respond maybe to what seemed like a tough day yesterday, particularly against? Well, I thought they, you know, I mean, I thought they took the coaching. I thought they improved. I thought there were some good one-on-one reps from what I saw just briefly there on tape. And then at times, you know, again, we'll just keep working and, you know, keep trying to string days together. How does it bring a high energy and fun personality guy like Arden Key into the mix? I mean, everybody's got a different personality, you know, and I like that, you know, that guys have energy and it can still, you know, talk and do their job. And that's the most important thing is production and making sure that you're handling your responsibility. And if along the way you got a personality and you got some energy, I'm all for it. But, you know, making sure that that doesn't get in the way of our ultimate job. So, you know, I've enjoyed coaching them since the day you got here. Put a lot of work in and, you know, he's excited for the opportunity and we're excited to have him. How about you, can you just help? Again, we've said this multiple times. It's just Arden's ability to have different rushes and have, you know, different things that he does and not just, you know, have one or two moves. So I think it can only help. And that's why we practice. That's why we try to compete is to make each other better and take care of each other. That's the most important thing is that, you know, we're staying away from the quarterback. We're staying off the ground. All those things, we're not taking cheap shots at guys. That's when I'm gonna have a problem. Well, we didn't wanna overload him at times. He'd handled it well last year when we asked him to do it. You know, so I think just, you know, his versatility and his knowledge, I think he can go back and forth and we'll get him some reps outside here and move some other guys inside. But, you know, I think it's been good. I think, and he'll factor in there. He was, you know, you get into those first and second down substituted defenses and that nickel is a linebacker. And the way that Roger tackled last year when he had to support as a corner, I think that's kind of what excites us a little bit, you know, and plus having the ability to, you know, cover and have some experience out there covering, you know, hopefully translates well. How do you think Chris Moore has done his job so far? What do you like about that? Very, very professionally. And, you know, Chris is a guy, you always, you know, again, haven't been doing this so long, but you always kind of look at guys on other teams or you coach against them, watch them. And, you know, would have loved to have him a few years ago. I'm glad that we got him now, but I mean, it's professional. Knows a bunch of spots. He's always over there on special teams. He runs, doesn't appear to get tired, jumps in there every opportunity and just a real professional. Somebody that I've enjoyed coaching and having around here. Mike, do you need to stress that more next week when the pads come on? Because guys tend to want to just fly around and hit. Maybe, I mean, I think that just we'll see how that goes. I think we practice pretty fast. I think there's a good speed to how we practice without pads. And so, you know, I think maybe when you get tired, I think when you get tired, that's when you have to focus on your technique, your fundamentals, and those little details and not letting them slide because you get tired. How do you evaluate these one-on-one drills with the DBs and receivers out here? How do you evaluate that? What specific area do you work on? Well, I think obviously trying to be as tight of coverage as you can. You know, we play some off. We play some press. And, you know, the route craft, are we able to set up routes and be able to stem and make sure that there's good releases versus press and, you know, then contested throws, contested catches. You know, like to stay up, but also making sure guys aren't grabbing, you know, when guys are breaking. Sometimes, you know, you tell the guy, hey, play outside leverage. You know, they run an inward breaking route which would be a linebacker in there and everybody's hooting and hollering. It's like, probably not gonna throw it, but great. So, I think it's just a good way to get a lot of reps in a short amount of time that we wouldn't get probably in seven-on-seven.
