 Welcome to Titans All Access with Amy Wells. I'm Mike Keith. Glad to have you with us for our bye week show. You excited? I am excited. I love a good bye week. Oh, oh, oh. Stop that. Wesley, Wesley Woodyard. This is my show now. Your show. You guys can leave. Let the pros take over. I said, leave. Mike, what's up? I think he's serious. I think he's serious. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been on this show 17 years. No, no. Mike, just go. This is my show. It's always been my show. Hi. I'm Wesley Woodyard, inside linebacker for your Tennessee Titans. You know, the bye week gives us players a chance to take a break and recharge for the rest of the season. This year, I wanted to work on my skills as a broadcaster, and I asked some of my teammates to join on this player takeover episode of Tennessee Titans All Access. As a player, you never really know a guy until you see him on the field. Left guard Roger Saffo and safety Kevin Byer stopped by the studio to watch some of the best mic'd up clips so far this season. You know, they just caught up. They just caught him. They just hemmed him this year. Yeah. Go, guys. Let's go, TD. Well, he got ahead of cutoff shirt always. We're going to have to really stay alive on this pass, Roger. I know they're max protecting. I love his coaching techniques right before the game, but he's always on the sideline coaching. Half the time, I don't think he actually sees, watches the game. He might be on the sideline on the defensive bench talking. There you go, man. It's a beautiful day. Weather can't get no better than this. We ain't nasty. Everybody's tighten up, man. Nobody's more passionate than we are, man. No, for sure. Every game. Ryan and the Titans. Nice play. Great job. Somebody stepped up, man. Just keep doing that all day. We'll be just fine. Oh, here we go. Uh-huh. Take over the dome. Take over the dome. Go as hard as you can. All day. Every plate. Go as hard as you can. Go as hard as you can. Go as hard as you can. It sounds like you know the microphone's on you. Yeah, I did a little bit. I was turned up this game though. I ain't gonna lie. At the 25. At the 20. At the 20. At the 15. At the 10. Ain't a lot of what he brought there when I seen him catch that slant. I said, but that's his number one up right there. Bang, eight. Man, I knew. I knew you were going to be excited on that sideline. For real. Hey, ready to play? Height seven. Falcons, nothing. I have no idea what's going on in that touchdown. Height seven. Height nine. Height nine. Height nine. Height nine. Height nine. Height nine. Height nine. You gotta celebrate. He had to just jump to the side real bad. Brian, under pressure, hit, falls out. Always around the ball. Hey, I thought I was going to get the ball for a minute. You definitely ran in there like you're going to hit it. You know I did. Chase, you got it though. He is going at it on an NFL Sunday. Don't know about any more energy than Bates, but no, nobody does. On TV, Tom Boss Bates is running the field, and let's go. Oh, yeah, I was hype up to seeing that, man. I was like, we still got a chance with these boys. All right. What's that? Ali Defala. Ali Defala. Oh, man. They do this thing every game. They always saying that. So we're going to come with it. Raise the blade. We're going to come with it, baby. The city needs it. The city needs it. Like grabbing his hand like that. Bring him down to here on top of your head. Let's do this, man. A lot of people are dying for this. Why not us, man? Every game, pick each other up. You got it, man. We get to do this. We get to do it. Remember that. Logan with his pre-game speeches. Oh, this was excellent. Huh? This was unbelievable. I was trying to break the tackle. Yeah, yeah. You could have scored like that. You got to pick your feet up a little bit. Yeah, yeah. I need more practice, bro. I need more practice. Huh. Now, I'm the first person over there, and he just does not acknowledge me at all. Cordo got really no, got no celebrations, but, honestly, A.J. Moore got good celebrations. Oh, yeah. I love it. I love to be scored in touch with him. I see now. He does the ball. Good play. It takes the stamp. Gives it inside. Excellent. Excellent. Barbara, no serve three. Look at all that energy. Right here. Hit the player in the game. Right here. I'm trying to get like him. Hey, A.J. Moore got the best corner lead right now. That's a fact. That is a true fact. What I love about this team is that there's such a tight group together from the beginning. So, you know, being able to welcome me in with open arms and then being able to work with these guys on and off the field, you know, I get to just see more of this, which just leads me to be more connected with them. You just kind of warn guys if you're like, hey, I'm mic'd up. I'm mic'd up. Don't say nothing crazy, you know what I'm saying? You just never know. Just gonna give your heads up. I'm mic'd up, though. I'm the fed today. What? I'm the fed, bro. It just sounds, it's just really much looking out for your brother just in case. Of course, you know a guy might not say nothing crazy, but, you know, it's just kind of funny. We always joke and laugh. Absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, I can't lie. I have to make sure that everybody knows that I'm mic'd up whenever I'm mic'd up. And over the years, I've been through everything. I've been mic'd up in, you know, really big wins, playoff games, and even getting injured. That was the worst, because I found out that I sent some crazy stuff after I got injured. So, I mean, this is a great way to get the fans connected with us, and I also want to make sure that we, you know, be good role models as well. If you mic'd down bass up, I think you're going to hear a whole lot of profanity. That's what I would definitely say. He's not changing for anyone. Not for anybody. I mean, this guy's the type of dude, you know, free game, got his headphones in. He's rapping every single lyric. Out loud, he doesn't care about who's next to him, anything like that. But I just love how, you know, genuine, and like you say, he's just all out with his personality, just shows and shines everywhere. The one thing I will say is that you're probably going to hear it easy a lot more than you would normally when he's mic'd up. Right, right. Easy work on three, one, two, three. Easy work! Yeah! We're going to take a quick break, but when we come back, we're going beneath the surface to the best position on the team. The inside linebackers, of course. Up next, we've got J.M. Brown and Rashaan Nevins. Welcome back. It's the Lumberjack. And this week's on Beneath the Surface, Coach Mack six down with two of the best young players on our team and in the NFL, J.M. and Rashaan. I'm here with two of the most exciting young players in the National Football League. Rashaan, watch, talk to me a little bit here. Your versatility, watch where you're lined up here and tell me what's going through your mind as far as when you're lined up on the line of scrim. Yeah, so right now I'm just in a big guy right now just playing as like a three-take knee. I see the auto corner of my eye. I see the jet come in. I'm like, sure, I'm just going to make a move and try to see if I can penetrate it. And obviously he kind of did the work for me and I was able to get down on it. I love the pre-snap awareness that's outstanding. Two of the most versatile inside linebackers in the National Football League right here for many years to come. Very valuable for a defensive coordinator. Now what we're doing right here, talk to me a little bit here about what's going on J.M. with your alignment on this two-man stack. All right, so right now we got a zero blitz and our check is to get Rashaan into the blitz and I'll take his responsibility with the coverage. So Rashaan is reminding me of that right now and then I see we're on the goal line so I want to get my heels no deeper than a white line and just be ready to play really good to me. You guys communicate very well with one another. Talk to me a little bit about Rashaan. Now you're coming, you're timing on this blitz in the big gap. Yeah, so right now it's me and J.M. communicating J.M.s in coverage. I'm the one now doing the Baker blitz. My back is split out. So right now I'm basically telling the D-line, I'm like, look, I'm Bakering, going in that B-gap and trying to grace some type of, you know, disruption back there in that backfield. Very nice. J.M. talked to me about just your positioning on the hip and what I loved about this, you shot your glove hand. You didn't panic, you waited right to the end. This is tremendous coverage by a linebacker. Yeah, no doubt we saw the running backs in the tight end split out in this position before on film and just knowing the stack alignment that he can have a two-way go to play inside or outside. So let's DB press and I'll play it off and just wait it patiently. And fortunately, these guys kind of ran into each other a little bit and messed up their timing and just made a really good break on the ball. All right, let's talk about this huge, huge goal line play. Talk to me right here. Rashawn, tell me your keys, what you're looking at, what your trigger point is right here, which is very, very valuable. So right now, originally, I know I got the A-gap. I see the back basically kind of like going forward type formation almost, but it's gone there. So I was like, shoot, I see they take my A-gap and I'm like, I'm gonna replace them and I'm gonna just put off on the running back. And people don't understand how quick this has to happen, how all this has to quickly go through your mind because this is a critical junction in this football game. This is gonna be a coverage aspect for you, Jion, right here. As you see, you're in coverage. You're dropping off in the slot. Tell me when you know the trigger, when the pass breaks down and the quarterback starts to improvise. So right here, we're in one of our many cover one coverages and we got two rat players outside and soon as Matt Ryan right here just got outside the tackle box and tried to scramble, you know, I had to trigger and make a good play to get us off the field and forward down. And this is a huge fourth down play. To play linebacker in this league, you've got to be decisive. You've got to trust what you're seeing, pre-snap and post-snap, but you also have to have the ability to pull that trigger and have confidence in yourself. I really have loved watching the development of you two guys. As I said, two of the best young inside linebackers in this league, Jayon Brown for Sean Evans. Thanks for being here, guys. Thank you, thanks for having me. That's very cool. Very cool. When Titans All Access returns, Wesley Woodyard gathers all of his inside linebacker brethren together for a victory cigar and some great conversation. Stay tuned for more of the Player Takeover edition of Titans All Access. Everybody don't get a chance to play linebacker in this league. So, David, I'm going to start with you. Youngest. You know, youngest man in the room, youngest guy right now. So what's your first experience of linebacker playing in the NFL? First experience, man. Bless you. Bless you. Bless you. Great to be around. You know, you great folks. Man, you're welcome. What about you, my man? I know you've been on a couple of teams and you know, you had an injury in the following fall. I mean, summer camp, but we're glad to have my brother back. Hey, y'all, like I said, man, it's great to be back, man. We're going to continue putting this and just continue to get better every day with the fellas. That's all. Now, Darren. Yes, sir. Everybody in the building has been blown away with this ease. So I feel like we're all wolves, but if it's one thing we do, it's going to be easy. So what's the inspiration behind that? Inspiration, man. It's a lot of things, but it boils down to one thing. When you say easy, it's a lifestyle. You take that lifestyle of a linebacker. A linebacker. What you think of a linebacker? You think hard, no? Hard, no? Great, tough, tough. Great. Tough, tough. Blue, tough. Blue, tough. Blue, tough. Blue, tough. Blue, tough. That's what easy means. It's as simple as that. That's what easy is. Easy work. Easy work. So J.R., coming from, you know, what some people say, LBU, UCLA. Okay. You know, what's something that you've learned playing with some of those great linebackers and something that you could pass on one day to these up-and-coming linebackers that want to be J.R. and Brown because I see a lot of number 55s in that stadium and I know that there's something to it. What would be some advice to a young linebacker who's going to see this right here? Man, I would say, I love the grind. Got a lot of grind, a lot of dudes that you play around, play with, and when you got on that field, you know? How tall? Do you. You've been doing this all your life. Yeah, yeah. It ain't nothing new. I've been playing this since you was eight. I think so. Yeah. None changed. So, brother or son? Like I alluded to earlier, you guys had the tradition in Alabama of getting together at the big win and smoothing Stoges together that camaraderie ship. Could you allude a little bit more of what's the meaning behind the cigars at the University of Alabama? Because if I'm a recruiter, I see razor blades. I'm like, man, I want to be that one. I feel like this with a great program like Alabama, it's all about tradition. We've always, you know, sold ourselves on the tradition. That's what we sell to these young guys and these recruits. I understand that it's not just all about exes and noses, it's about a brotherhood. Being able to bring a young guy to come up in there and for an older guy to bring up on this win and being able to celebrate something that's prestigious as smoking cigar at the door. Because, you know, football is life to these fans. They won't get away with that at all. Ah, here we go. We're not going to get away. We're not going to get away. We're not going to get away. We're not going to get away. To the college competition, we already know Kentucky is the best college. By the way, shout out to Auburn and Auburn Nashville Association. We're trying to beat Alabama in the food drive. Keep doing that. Roll time. Roll time, baby. You already know what it is, man. BroNation, stand up. So you heard it first here from the Titans LBs. Brother base said the best, man. It's easy work coming from us. So we're going to close this thing out, man. All right, fellas, let's end it like we always do. Let's get it easy work on three. One, two, three. Easy work. One, two, three. Stay tuned for more of the Player Takeover Edition of Titans All Access. This is my 12th year in the league. Sometimes you got to find ways to wind down, get away from football. A better way to do it is play a little video games. Our DBs took over and they're going to show you who's best at call of duty. So me and my boy Candy about to get into this duty real quick. You know what I'm sayin'? We takin' over the studio, about to show y'all how we rockin' this duty, man. About to get straight headshots.
