uh so Wednesday 915 is the practice start time so uh my prediction for that is that Sam and I will be in the adjacent parking lot with the bubble behind us so we will get into that season of Sam and I standing up and hopefully not getting hot and sweaty and sunburnt uh before we even make it to practice for some shows uh so that is what my prediction is and then uh we'll have uh Thursday practice too uh the interesting thing that I'm I'm curious about uh with Brian Callahan is what the practice schedule looks like and how they spread it out and how they really handle it everything uh with Titans training camp uh starting on Wednesday on the practice field after a Tuesday press conference there so that's kind of out of the way Jack we had a Titans training camp uh game plan content game plan meeting yesterday afternoon to get all fired up and a buck got some good plans Sam's got plans and we do as well for all of our coverage so if you're not covering us across our social media that's on you because you should do that because training camp is when we shine the absolute brightest so Jack uh now let's talk about some wide receivers because the Titans uh I think have flipped the wide receiver position just about as much as anybody any other position group on this roster cornerbacks offensive line has obviously been flipped quite a bit too but when you bring in two veterans like Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd the join veteran and future Hall of Famer DeAndre Hopkins uh you have a pretty damn good top three and you know we've talked about so far this summer since Tyler Boyds joined a a top 10 top three three wide receiver group in the NFL so there's really no ifs ends or butts about how the top three are it's Ridley Hopkins and Boyd in uh in no particular order but you gotta feel pretty good about those three wide receivers to lead this Titans offense uh moving forward yeah absolutely I mean it's as good of a trio as the Titans have had since moving to Nashville and you know each one of those guys kind of provides a little different uh skill set like DeAndre Hopkins you know we saw Will Levis last year screw at dehop down there somewhere just chucking it deep letting dehop go be great Calvin Ridley's explosiveness his quickness at the line of scrimmage is going to help him separate which the Titans did not have a whole lot of from their receivers last season went a lot of Separation making throws more difficult for Levis and the other quarterbacks that that took snaps last year so that's going to be fun to watch then Tyler Boyd obviously familiar with the Callahan system and it's kind of a Zone Buster whe whether that's on Third and short maybe it's a first down chunk Tyler Boyd's going to get open he's going to find the hole in the zone defense and hopefully move the chains quite a few times next season and kind of be that security blanket for will Lis underneath so all three of those guys all bring something that's very exciting that really the Titans haven't had um in a wide receiver room at the same time in quite a while so the top three you got to be really confident heading into the season with where the wide receivers are at yeah without a doubt on that so then we get into the others right because we know there's the trailing burst conversations inwi and then you've got the who are the other slot guys so before we dive into actual names let's go ahead and get the chat involved here and the chat has been very very active uh so far already you know whether it's Titans related or not Titans related in the YouTube waiting room before we go live but let's just throw this out there we don't want names we just want a number because this is a new offense right it is a new offense Brian Callahan's the head coach they're going to throw the ball lot more than what we've seen the Titans do under Mike Vel the previous six years so how many wide receivers will the Titans keep on the 53 man roster at the end of Camp so how many wide receivers do you expect the Titans to keep at the end of training camp there's 53 guys how many wide receivers a lot of times Rabel and them were keeping five six um I know the average of the five years previous of Zack Taylor and Brian Callahan how many the Bengals kept I'm not going to disclose that yet because Jack I want to send you to the chat because comments are flying in here how many wide receivers do we expect the Titans to keep under Brian Callahan exiting training camp on the 53 going into week one yeah Titans Kyle starts off on YouTube he says six John's at seven Lum man's at 8 IR at seven we've got sixes from Josh Mario American Toof and Darnell Brandon Jo doer just Smash and Daniel all a little bit higher at seven big Jeff says six uh eight from Lum man Sev from Curtis Lee Eric and Jordan Lowry uh bour chimes in with a seven as well so Jason is at six Willie Madden the lowest we've seen yet at five hello ladies at seven Stephen King Pro score although I don't know how this is going to happen at six and a half um Deshawn Washington is at a six so is Cameron Walker Darius says six to7 seven from Caleb and Titan up I mean it's pretty split down the middle six and seven here Austin with a couple more sixes coming in Daniel Perez at a five Stevens's at a six Will's at a seven I'm gonna go ahead and give a Scott Weaver here he's at a six um couple more trickling in here I'm at a six as well Austin I think that that's that's the right number five does not feel like enough especially when you consider the injury issues that tayin Burks has had de Hop's a little bit older Calvin Ridley is getting up there in age Tyler Boyd's on the wrong side of 30 so keeping five not yet Tyler Boyd not yet 30 but by the time Christmas comes uh Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd will both join dehop in the 30 age wide receiver Club on the team so it just feels like a roll of the dice to only keep five that feels like an incomplete room especially when you factor in that one of those guys is probably gonna have to chip in in the return game whether that's punt return or kick return we'll see who kind of emerges from that group but five does not feel like enough and I went up and before the show I I looked it up last year what the Bengals did and they kept six six week one wide receivers last season I think that's the right number seven I don't know that you need seven I think Seven's a bit Overkill and I also don't know that there's a seventh wide receiver that's gonna you know prove to be that guy that they just can't leave off they can't risk it they can't risk waving him and hopefully picking him up back up on the practi Squad they can't risk that there's not a guy on the roster like that I think you've got a good six on the roster really probably a good five and there's a bit of a battle for that six spot it's gonna be really fun to watch develop so I'm at a six yeah uh I also think it's six and so I'm glad just this was an established the Run game type of conversation before we dive into the other ones yeah I think six is the right number uh when you look at the five years that Brian Callahan was with Zack Taylor in Cincy last year they kept six two years they kept seven and then two years they kept five but a couple of those years they kept five you know that was pre Jamar chase that was like T Higgins rookie year right so there's some been some different situations overall but uh Brian Callahan has been an offensive coordinator for an NFL team that's kept seven receivers on the initial 53 man roster twice so that is something that the Bengals have done but I I do think six is the right uh uh number for this particular roster and then we'll figure out you know what the what it all comes down to because uh I've got I think at least nine players that I believe are fighting for those six spots obviously uh one a 1B however you want to order them is DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley then number three is Tyler Boyd right whoever's not one a is one b and then that takes up the two spots and three is Boyd and then we get into the conversation about tayin Burks in NWI NWI the veteran who is back on a one-year deal trayon Burks the super underachieving first round draft pick who has the talent who is one of the most athletic guys that DeAndre Hopkins has ever played with is getting a lot of rave reviews caly says he looks like too he looks like AJ Brown he looks like Julio Jones he just has to put it all together there's that right so uh let's ask this question Jack and we have phrased this very specifically Trin Burks vers NWI we think these guys are both on the roster it's a high confidence level that both tayin Burks and Nick westbr a are gonna make the team but which of these two guys will have a bigger impact on the season not as the offense but who will have a bigger impact on this Titan season between tayin Burks and Nick Westbrook a we'll get to

versus Nick westbr a who do you believe will have the bigger impact on the titans this season and we're not just talking about the offense so this is beyond receiving uh yards catches touchdowns those numbers it goes to special teams where both where NWI has uh made some money throughout his career in the NFL on special teams as a cover guy and then we know trayon Burks is working as a gunner but also getting reps as a kick returner in this new rule so what's the chat saying uh who will have the bigger uh impact on the titans this season between NWI and trillin Burks hello ladies is on team Burks but Ashley and Chris are on NWI Patricia or patricka I believe is how you pronounce this patri NWI Patricia they there's no I there you got it confuses me um Burks with with Stephen um we've got more NWI coming in here comes a big contingency of NWI fans here Andre guy Richie Curtis all NWI NWI all day Mario's on NWI Burks from Rasheed NWI from Nick euwing so NWI off to an early lead here Willie Madden's there as well we've got Burks from Danny Eric and IR hosi pistol Ramsay's also on Burks uh Dylan Cole is gonna be on N so is bour because of special teams um a big run on Burks here Daniel kin Vanessa hello ladies all Burks uh tayin Burks from Walker as well and Brandon's also on Burks then NWI comes back here from Cameron but trayon Burke seems to have pulled in front with Christopher Brady and Darnell and Titans Kyle Billy Jones Luke all on Burks Lum man on Burks uh Camario is on NWI so is Jared Hall let's see I'll get a couple more in here Scott Weaver's rolling the dice on Burks cadero says Burks stamp it uh Lynnwood also on Burks uh Burks Burks B wow I did not see this coming Austin B probably I mean this is probably 70 to 30 B break this down a little bit um and for some reason Jack you're having that issue with that uh graphic again uh throwing up yesterday's graphic with your stream system I don't know what's going on with that but weird uh anyway so let's break this down a little bit because I did see uh Marvo coming in saying yall saying NWI like he's that dude he's a bum too and like that's not one I don't think NWI is a bum I think NWI has been a success story in the NFL from being an undrafted free agent to now being on his second one-year deal with the team and his fifth I believe in the NFL overall it's not a bum by any means and so when we're talking about impact I think it's you know NWI has had way more of a positive impact on the as a receiver than Burks has the last two years in n's two years and so uh I think it's interesting that you know you're going to call him a bum I think NWI is very valuable to this team and tayin Burks has not been tray Burks has been a hindrance so obviously Burks has the higher ceiling and you would prefer for Burks to have uh the bigger impact on the team because he's a first round draft pick but NWI has been more reliable and that's such an understatement uh compared to uh Burks the last two years so that's kind of diving this down I did put this up on a YouTube poll and uh it's only two minutes old but 71% of people are saying Trail and Burks will have a bigger impact on the titans this season than NWI so Jack you mentioned that you were shocked by the overwhelming overwhelming uh response to being Burks uh why do you think it's overwhelming well I was expecting more of a 5050 on this I think because I think it's a really good question right and people obviously are pretty much dug in on their side whether it's Trin Burks or NWI at this point um why I thought it would be closer why am I surprised it would be Burks because NWI has been the one that's producing NWI has 10 touchdown catches over the last three seasons and you know every year we're heading into the same discussion where okay NWI you know what he's kind of GNA probably play as a backup situational and then before you know it NW NWI is out there converting on third Downs making huge touchdown catches in one- score games where trayon Burks is struggling to stay on the field and not even that just when he's on the field it just looks so sloppy sometimes it looks uncoordinated it looks just out of sorts and unorganized so hopefully with Brian Callahan that changes a little bit but I think that NWI is a more versatile player sure trayon Burks has a higher ceiling but I think NWI can do more things well than trayon Burks can and that's I mean NWI still being on this roster at this point goes to goes to show that he can do a lot of things differently like like the Gunner on special teams you mentioned I mean he's caught fake punts on fourth down like the dude can do it all and um you know I feel like he's a cerebral player he he's on the player Association Council like the guy's a smart dude who can learn an offense quickly and has shown that he's capable of building a rapport no matter who's behind Center so I have more faith in NWI obviously tayin Burks is stealing is high but it goes back to this conversation that we've had a few times this off season if trayon Burks can give you something on offense that's great but I think if you're heading into the year expecting trayon Burks to have some sort of a breakout season then you're setting yourself up to be disappointed there comes time where a player is who he is in this league and I'm I'm willing to give tayin Burks the benefit of the doubt heading into year three in a new system with a quarterback that'll throw it around a little bit more but from what I've seen man I trust NWI a whole heck of a lot more than I do trayon Burks and we made this question like not offense related just entire team special teams included you brought up potentially tayin bur's returning kicks I think that job goes to Taj Spears and I don't see trayon Burks as a gunner so I think n's impact will will be far greater than tray and Burks is this season all right so uh I have so you think NWI have a bigger impact than Burks one I I think and I feel pretty confident in saying this that the Titans will have two players back there returning kickoffs with the new rule this season so I do think Taj Spears has a chance to be one of them I think Tay and Burks could earn an opportunity to be the other I don't know how that's going to go obviously Taj Spears is looking like he can be a valuable piece of the offense that's just a a a wildc card variable that we don't know enough about on how valuable is uh the kickoff return going to be as the first offensive play as a lot of coaches are trying to think about it so you do feel okay putting somebody like Taj or Burks out there because it can't help out that offensive Series so uh Marvo is continuing to go down uh and be very very hard on this conversation like Marvo is saying like uh these dudes really believe in NWI dude wasn't even good in college great in college he was really good in college ACL injury yeah and then he says uh but do go on Austin so you can be proved wrong again Marvo you are just jumping so far to conclusions because I haven't answered the question yet I think the conversation that we are having is that the first three wide receiver spots are pretty set it's Ridley Hopkins 1 a1b Tyler Boyd is three then you've got number four and five tayin Burks and NWI are going to be battling for that fourth spot and the loser I think gets the fifth spot NWI is a fourth wide receiver is not a bad thing we've been saying that for three years don't have NWI as wide receiver two or three but it's totally cool to have as four or five right tayin Burks has no wide receiver four he has to earn that because he's not been reliable and so we almost said this question as trust if we were asked the question this way Marvo I think you'd see a lot more people going with NWI if we would have said who do you trust more in this for the titans this season you guys would trust NWI more but who do you believe in is obviously bur has a higher ceiling we know that so I think that's where we put the Nuance into this conversation and I you know Daniel says watch Burks become wide receiver three it's not crazy that he could right but like Tyler Boyd's a slot guy you know and knows the offense some it would be great it would be a phenomenal development if tray and Burks becomes wide receiver three and there's not like an injury that forces that situation so I think that is where you go into this and Ken says I believe Boyd and Burks will have to fight for wide receiver three in Camp no it's they play different positions like trust me when I say this tayin Burks and Tyler Boyd do not run run the same routes in practice they do different things so that's not the same thing of how it goes there are three different wide receiver positions right now Burks is a backup uh to Ridley or Hopkins and Boyd is the starter in the slot uh based off of that so that's kind of how that works overall um on that so uh you would have to move Ridley or Hopkins into the slot more if Burks is becoming one of your best three receivers to get your best three out there on the field so my uh another comment that I saw before I want to get to my um my answer on this Vanessa says what do you think of Burks is body change and Jack you and I talked about this before we play the show that Trin Burks if you follow tray and Burks on Instagram you've seen over the last week or so he's doing some Instagram story posts uh where it's like this is this is very much like I'm on the metal bench of a high school football field I've been doing drills for an hour and I'm sweaty here's me after my work and then he posted this uh yesterday I believe which looks like a uh public restroom with the employees must wash your hands sign in the background that has not been updated since H maybe the 80s with that wood wall paneling I don't know what public restroom tra and Burks is going into uh but Trevon Burks clearly looks a lot more defined than he has looked so far in his professional career those are some guns and we have not seen anything like this from Trin Burks yet now you got to prove it when you get out there on the field but um Jack uh what do you think about Trin burk's uh body change right there as Vanessa brought up I mean hey it's like some of those Instagram accounts that weren't so active and then OIC rolled around now they're posting every day that's what T bur would doing man he's got that new body he's flaunting it on Instagram look he's looking good but he's always looked athletic right that's never been an issue with him nobody's questioning his athleticism like durability has been a problem consistency has been an issue so I look I love that he's in great shape but everyone comes into training camp in the best shape of their life right um can he hold up can't you know you know is he gonna be able to carve out a rle for himself in this offense these are things that we're going to figure out when the pads come on but hey look without him he's looking great uh a couple comments Mario says those guns aren't loaded though not a bad comment and then Caleb Caleb says uh that is an Arkansas style bathroom yeah that is it was a country looking bathroom I'll give that it was so who do I think will have a bigger impact for the Titans I think it will be tayin Burks because you know I'm not saying I believe in tayin Burks uh as a whole I just think tayin Burks is actually gonna be utilized in coached appropriately from the top down for the first time in his Titans career that is where I believe my answer of Burks in this question of Burks vers NWI is because I believe in Brian Callahan's deployment of tray and burk's new guns of tray and burk's ability and skill sets that we know of we know he's a big strong fast body but do we believe he can execute and follow through on a consistent basis right right so I do I believe in Brian Callahan deploying Burks more than Brian Callahan deploying NWI NWI is the perfect fire extinguisher on the wall behind glass you break it when you have to have it hopefully you don't need it but it's there when you do right and it's a it's like it's a law the Titans law is that you have to have NWI available for emergency because if you don't you're going to go against the fire code and you're G to get fined right so like NWI is break glass in case of emergency uh and I think that's a really good spot for him to be and I think it's a good role for him to be in but you hope you don't have to use it yeah the only point I'll fight back on is that I I don't and I don't necessarily know that you're you know dying on this hill either but I I don't think it was necessarily the coaching staff's fault for tayin Burke's lack of productivity over the last couple of seasons like I think a lot of tayin burk's struggles were due to tray and Burks like I think a lot of those fell on his shoulders like I mean it's hard to get a guy um out there looking good producing on a week in week out basis that can't stay healthy or that that can't really you know win a win a role or carve out a role for himself against a really mediocre group of receivers now that it's a much more talented room so hopefully trayon Burks can kind of set himself apart but you know Brian Callahan sure he's an offensive genius but is he a miracle worker I'm not so sure that's why I'm a little hesitant on trayon Burks in this conversation clearly his sealing is higher but I just think inw at this point is the more reliable player that's fair and I look I I think yes he is the more reliable player you don't put tayin Burks in a break glass in case of emergency situation because you want the fire extinguisher to work right I I think I think I think I have found the perfect NWI analogy is that he is the fire extinguisher behind the glass on the wall because you trust it to be there when you have to have it and you hope you don't have to have it but Trin Burks is inconsistency is Wyatt's fire code safety laws that you have in wi and then Trin Burks Trin B is more of the donut Tire you have in the back of your car you don't want to drive on the interstate with it if you don't have to because who knows if you're going to break down or not but inwi yeah the fire extinguisher reference that's a good analogy more reliable I agree yes uh yeah so that's that's where I feel on that uh and I look what you said about it's not always uh or it wasn't all on the coaching staff previously uh to for his for Burks his failures I agree it was a big picture of combined a bunch of people not doing a good enough job and Trin Burks is included in that so I'm with you there overall okay so uh just to update the uh excuse me the YouTube poll about 15 minutes old I'll keep this up for a little bit now trailing Burks versus NW who do you believe will have a bigger impact on the titans this season Burks is leading with 66% of the vote and NWI Nick westre at uh well not at 67 to 33 so just changed uh in the last second there so uh there you go on that one so Jack uh we've talked about six wide receivers we think are going to be on this Titans roster we've talked about Ridley Hopkins Boyd then you have the separation of Burks and NWI at four and five then I think there's another separation between the other guys fighting for that last sixth spot so I'm gonna throw up this graphic and these are receivers that are fighting for a spot and the last spot here on this roster if they just keep six Kyle Phillips rookie jaquin Jackson veteran practice squad Phenom Mason Kenzie and then second year undrafted free agent kiars Jackson who actually made the team last year but then had an injury uh that kept him away so those I believe you can maybe throw TR on Harrison in there but I think traon Harrison is you're you're you're being a little bit too uh broad if you're throwing him in I think it's these four guys fighting for one job and so that's the question we want to ask now is who do you think which under the radar Titans receiver has the best chance to steal that roster spot which under the radar Titans wide receiv receiver has the best chance to steal that last roster spot so we'll get to your answers and maybe I'll flip out put up a new YouTube poll on these guys here in a second but first the Bone and Joint Institute is where you should turn for all of your injury needs because injuries happen in life they're super inconvenient annoying and frustrating and don't let them linger because that's just how they're going to interrupt more of your lifestyle do what I've done a couple times the last three years and that's go to the Bone and Joint Institute whenever I've had an ailment uh with an injury that's been disrupting My Lifestyle I've gone there booked an appointment with their website super easy Bone and Joint tn.org is the website to book an appointment for their main Franklin location and then they go in there get you in and out I've been like the two times I've had to go in there for something I've been in and out in 30 35 minutes which is crazy when it comes to a doctor's office normally

got King VC in here with a super chat so uh if you have not liked the show yet please hit that like button on both Facebook and on YouTube we always appreciate our guy King VC for helping us out with the super chat if you have a super chat we have to read it them's the rules so uh Jack the question is which under the radar Titans wide receiver do you think has the best chance to steal the sixth and final roster spot on this team between the four that we threw out there Kyle Phillips Mason Kinsey jaquin Jackson and kiaris Jackson those are the four that I believe coming in into training camp have the only shot really to get that Sixth and final spot uh obviously U if an injury happens that changes things too but if if we're assuming Health uh with the top five it's those four for one job so Jack what's the chat saying here uh jaquin Jackson from Scott he believes he's gonna be number six Orlando says it's gonna come down to Phillips and jaquin Jackson Titans Rossy says it's gonna it's going to be Jin Jackson Stephen King on that train as well uh J Jackson Ran's pick from IR hosi so that's a good distinction um jquan Jackson I'm assuming these are jquan Jackson Ki Jackson is also up there but I'm goingon to give Jackson as jaquin Jackson right now a rookie Jackson Jackson Rooney says Kinsey he's been the most available out of the the three guys that have been here before um jaquin Jackson jaquin Jackson Kyle Phillips here's more Phillips uh Colton Dow not on the graphic but certainly in the mix let's pause pause on pause on the Colton Dow comment because not physically ready to compete because of the ACL the ACL happened in like deep December he's not ready I believe Colton Dow like Ryan Stonehouse will begin the uh the year on the physically unable to perform list um so I don't think Colton Dow has an opportunity right now because of the injury which maybe could be an advantage for col because yeah yeah absolutely for sure okay so we agree there jaquin Jackson Kyle Phillips from Billy Jones jaquin Jackson or ke Jackson from Denise so she's on the Jackson guys um jaquin Jackson we've got Kenneth says he thinks they're going to keep seven and it's either gonna be Jackson and either Phillips or karish Jackson okay so the seven that's that's an interesting caveat uh Jackson from Danny witson Kyle Phillips Jackson Kyle has a slot receiver place under Callahan um Jackson Colton Dal jaquin Jackson uh Jan Jack jquan Jackson's leading this race Austin y um and I think that that's my leader in the clubhouse right now jaquin Jackson because of what he can do you know you've got Tyler Boyd running as your slot but he's not necessarily as quick and as Shifty as he once was he's more of a bigger slot right and Callahan prefers the bigger guys in the slot so Jain Jackson brings a skill set where he's quick twitch guy he he's a burner he can also contribute on punt return I bring up that 90 yard touchdown return that he had against Memphis a whole bunch because it was really exciting to watch how fast he is in the open field I think that jquan Jackson has the edge however like trayon Burks I think that Kyle Phillips benefits here from a regime change as well because I think that last regime had kind of come close to giving up on Phillips you know a couple muffed punts hadn't been able to stay on the field but now a new staff comes in do are they excited by what he can do because like he he's like he's a little Hunter infro Junior he's JV Renfro and if he can prove to stay healthy I think that he can absolutely contribute on this team in certain situations so I jaquin Jackson right now is my leader in the clubhouse but I think Kyle Phillips is right behind him and I don't I want I want to make this point clear just because Jin Jackson was drafted in the sixth round by the Titans that does not guarantee him a spot on this roster they can absolutely move him to the practice squad they can move on from him if he struggles in training camp in preseason just because he was rand's pick does not mean he's guaranteed to be on this roster teams cut players that they draft all the time so while it does give I think a leg up it's no guarantee that dcoin Jackson opens the season on the active roster and so Deshawn Washington brings up something on the Kyle Phillips conversation because I think Jack you bring up valid points across the board but Deshawn Washington says the way Rael uh treated Phillips was weird and it you know Mike Vel had the tendency that if you were on Mike vel's bad side then you typically stayed there and we've seen a lot of examples of that right like I think uh I think uh David long is a Mike Vel badside guy I feel like chiga cono had some Mike Vel badside to him Kyle Phillips absolutely Mike Rabel badside because he was a healthy inactive scratch for a lot of the tail end of the season when there was nothing else to really prove uh deep into the year but the whole narrative was well if if you're not going to catch punts reliable and keep turning the football over then and we're only going to be needing a slot receiver uh you know a handful of times a game then what's your value to be one of the active 46 to 48 players on game day which is fact and act and factual but I'm not really sure obviously with the Callahan shift that there should be more opportunities for three and four wide receivers on the field at the same time and yeah thank you major key and others Christian Fulton was absolutely on that Mike grael bad side for quite some time but then you would see Mike Vel say good things about uh Christian Fulton too very strange dynamic between those guys Ador Jackson you guys are bringing up all like the good names um the Mike Rael badside and brings up Wesley Woodyard I think he's on Mike rael's badside post playing career post-working relationship for sure so Jack your official answer was ja Jackson right I think Jack froze okay all right um so I think your video is frozen slightly but I think we've got your audio So my answer is also jaquin Jackson from best chance to get that last spot I think second I believe would be Kyle Phillips if I were go to full power rankings it'd be Beyond Kyle Phillips I think kiaris Jackson has the second best chance and then I believe uh Mason Kinsey is probably fourth on this list of four players uh to get that last roster Spot the Difference In Kinsey and karus being kiaris is an outside receiver Kinsey in this situation would be the fourth slot receiver and so I I don't think there's much chance to keep your fourth slot receiver unless multiple injuries happen and kiaris Jackson is one less injury away than Mason Kinsey is and I think all of them have to show the ability to both punt return and kick return so I think the best combo punt returner kick returner wins this six spot uh and you know the wide receiver Duties are more of a bonus sure Edward says Jack we we get it about Kyle Phillips but jaquin Jackson is good enough to make the team so here's the thing jaquin Jackson I mean you look at his production in college he wasn't like he wasn't jumping off the page the guy never had a 600 yard season and you know it was his sophomore season when he had eight receiving touchdowns after that he never had more than four and that last season that KY Phillips had at UCLA against stiffer competition he put up 10 receiving touchdowns 739 yards so when you're talking about two players coming out of college at the same time sure like Jin Jackson's fresher and brings a bit of excitement with him but Kyle Phillips was this way as well if not even more so when he was coming out so I'm not so sure that Jaquan Jackson's the better player right now I think that he's a guy that doesn't have as many red flags on him just because of Kyle Phillips you know tumultuous NFL tumultuous start to his NFL career although it is something you can bounce back from so I want to point that out like Kyle Phillips was the more established player coming out of college um so I I I want people to kind of let sink in jquan Jackson do a whole lot in college to say you know what this guy deserves a spot on the roster I think Jackson's faster when you're talking about like highend like go speed jquan Jackson's faster than KY Phillips I think they are both very quick very Shifty like jaquin Jackson and Kyle Phillips and I'll throw Mason Kinsey in there those three guys are way quicker than Tyler Boyd like zero doubt me watching those four players go through slot receiving drills the less quick guy least quick guy is veteran Tyler boy so there's that and I said this to Sam I can't remember if it was last week or the week before or whenever the hell but I think Kyle Phillips is probably the sixth best receiver on this roster but I don't think he makes the team because I don't think he can be a top two Return Man and I think that what it's going to come down to okay I hear you there and that's the thing right like if Kyle Phillips makes this team he has to make an impact in their turn game in my opinion but because they've got they've got the slot position filled out like there there's not a battle at starting slot right but there is a battle in the kick return and punt return game and if he can separate himself and just hold on to the damn football Kyle Phillips then he's got a shot to make the team here's this is interesting too because I just kind of thought about this as we were going through the conversation let's just assume health right let's assume health for for every receiver that we're talking about so we're going into week one Titans are flying up to Chicago against the Bears Sam's giddy because he gets to watch Caleb Williams in person for the first time in his hometown and cover the Titans game with this new cahan right so Sam's all like smiles and couldn't be happier more excited right so all these receivers are healthy are six receivers on the G active game day roster because who you sitting down if if the sixth guy is one of is your punt returner and one of your kick returners NWI is probably a gunner maybe then you have tray and Burks and then you've got the top three right is it CRA would it be wild that all six would be active game day so you'd have six out of 48 be receivers you already got eight you got eight offensive linemen that have to be active two quarterbacks you're talking about 16 players that are just three position like you're really getting deep like you're relying a lot on wide receiver depth and then Burks or I guess NWI and the six guy to be your Gunner and return man and do a lot of special team stuff because you're not gonna have you know a fourth safety to play special teams or that fourth inside linebacker to play special teams right and so I think this kind of goes back to that our other question and if you do have six and your six is is going to help you out in the return game NWI obviously is a gunner I think that Trin Burks I think his impact week one even as the number four even if he wins that number four job will be less than NWI at five or less than Phillips or jaquin Jackson at six because they'll have more opportunities to make plays on special teams so that that's that kind of goes back to my point that I I think NW is gonna have a bigger impact than Burks this season even if Burks wins that number four job in training camp just because of what NWI can do on special teams same thing goes with jaquin Jackson Kyle Phillips Kar Jackson Mason Kinsey whoever it is one of those guys whichever guy makes the team will have a role in the return game so that's kind of how I see it playing out totally agree uh totally agree with that so um just interesting of how this franchise is going to turn and a lot of questions that we don't know the answers to because we don't know how the staff is going to be able to uh you know juggle the different duties of this ER which is why I think this upcoming season is uh that exciting because there are so many things that we just flat out do not know to this point so look I'm pumped I get to go watch football practice on Wednesday morning that's just it's one of my favorite times of the year uh so we'll have tons of great coverage out there again I said this off the top of the show if you if you missed it uh then make

us across the entire uh board there Daniel comes in with a hot take Tyler boy doesn't make the 53 my eyes are burning that's so hot I look Jack you want to put this in our back pocket and uh maybe bring up another day I think we could say you know we we've already kind of gone through the surprise roster cut uh I think we could ask another question uh that I'm kind of cooking up in my brain because of Daniel's hot ti so uh maybe we'll just uh keep that in our back pocket and bring it out uh when the time might feel right to have that conversation so uh how do you feel about that Dani I mean that's hot that's as hot as hot gets right there but yeah absolutely hey let's let's put it in the back pocket we got a long long road to the regular season we need as many tops we can get so I'm sure we'll get to that in a long form here before too long without a doubt all right jack it is that time of the week it is now time for the magic bucket so here we go [Music] okay I'm back uh something my computer glitched or something and I think that bucket uh thing played twice I don't know what happened but Wilson County Hyundai is where you should turn for all of your new car needs so check them out online Wilson County hyundai.com in Lebanon uh to help save money on your new ride the computer is dragging this morning uh for some reason so between Jack well well well how the turn T's turn yes that is exactly how that goes okay so uh here we go magic bucket time I still guess I still owe my ey patch so I've have not forgotten I just have not located the ey patch uh from last week so uh Jack me first you're first yeah let's go rip it off you've done that favorite meal to cook marry me chicken try that people it works oh this is something I don't think you've had this all right um this is I think you I think you made this so this might be uh something for that you had in your brain one day um if you had to go to the gym every single day for at least an hour so that pizza could continue to exist would you do it Jack Gentry would that is would you go to the gym every day for at least an hour to sacrifice your body your time so Pizza could exist for all of us would you do it because that's how I'm reading this is that so it's not it's not just like every day of the week you know in the middle of say February right you're going on Christmas you're going on Fourth of July you're going on Thanksgiving every single day for at least an hour so that pizza could exist for all of us man you know uh it's that's it's commitment Jack like oh man I love when you travel like you went to Denver and uh I guess was that last weekend time crazy now so you're in Denver you fly into Denver gotta make sure you hit the gym either before your flight or after your flight when you fly back to Nashville you gotta hit the gym before you leave Denver or after you get back from Nashville one hour every day for Jack so that we all can have pizza not about you but we all can have pizza it's just an hour it's just an hour man I'd like to think I would for the for the sake of humanity and because I feel like if if this world loses Pizza it all comes unhinged right pizza is holding this world together and it's on your shoulders Jack I don't know I'm trying to think I mean like after a Titans win on Sunday like a thrilling overtime win go over the Texans maybe I'm hurting a little the next day do could I could I pull it off here's here's your tough situation Jack you maybe you start this and you keep it up right you keep it up maybe you're a morning gym guy and you're coming up here you're super energized because you went to the gym at 6 am did the show at 8 right so it's here's your here's your trouble college football season in the NFL are going to ruin you and put this to the test because you know oh miss is going to play some really exciting games on Saturday nights you hit the gym Saturday morning but you're going to be celebrating some big Jackson Dart Lane kein wins this fall and you got to go to the gym Sunday morning before our Titans game duties begin I hear you that's that's where you're gonna get in trouble it's not the Titans C it's the old Miss celebrations here so okay I totally hear you but I think I've just figured out why I would do it okay what goes better with football than pizza and beer you need pizza if Pizza Pizza makes at Monday night Sunday night you want some pizza you call it in you go get it from em squared like I do because I live right over here pizza and football go together it's like wine and cheese it's like will L and deep balls peas and carrots sure for for For You Austin the vegetarian um no that's do you know okay quick do you know where peas and carrots comes from well the ground of course no no no do you know where the the saying like peas and carrots no enlighten me uh that is a force Gump uh line there okay that's a movie I haven't seen in a while tight up pod listeners will get make fun of me for that but I think I'm gonna do it I think I would do it the sick days somebody brought up sick days that would definitely be the toughest because if I'm down bad with like the flu or something uh the sick day workout would be miserable but hey that that maybe that makes you feel better you get sweated out just not say have to go to the gym for an hour and burn a thousand calories every time right like you like you obviously have to have to be able to you know maintain your body you can't work out seven days a week the same way you're GNA have some recovery days in there but maybe it's an hour of uh some light cardio an hour of walking you do the steam room yeah and once you once you get in that Rhythm like two three months in it's it's see it's seamless right like you can do it I think I think I could do it it's a good question though to brain shout out to your brain from many months ago that came up with that all right this one's for me okay what was the worst job that I've ever had I don't think you done this you've done this done this you got you got you got some heat in the chat because you were talking about your it was a record store or something oh that's right that's right you're right you remembered it I even forgot about that okay I dropped one out so I'll just see what this has okay I don't think I've done this if I could buy one type of car what would it be like a dream car are you a car guy no not at all not necessarily either my Toyota Camry would tell you that I like nice cars but I don't I'm not like one I'm not somebody who's like like drooled over like when I'm you know when I'm successful I'm going to get this badass car I'm a point A to point B guy oh I like getting there nice and fast and in style but I'm not like slobbering over a super uh luxury brand H let me think about this what about old school vers new school you like the old classic cars no give me the like the new builds you want a little cyber truck cybertruck no not absolutely not um those things look like Kobe Bryant's shoes from 2002 look up they're clunky the the all black ones look better I think oh God camera gang what's up Denise I'm trying to think of the uh it would definitely be a a sports car type and so I'm gonna go with trying to think of which brand I like like Mercedes look so clean like I I they're very expensive to maintain but I and that's part of the Mercedes if you have a Mercedes then you know you can one afford to buy it and two afford to maintain it so I'm gonna go with a Mercedes I would like a really slick black Mercedes sports car coupe type that's what I would go with not the craziest but I think that's that's class it's Style um but that's I'm going to go with okay I hear you there I'd give my answer but just in case I pull it one day I need to hold that yeah you need to hold that um and people are probably gonna hate on that uh look Joshua German cars are junk hello ladies there's a jerk junk yeah probably but they look good it's not your dream car hello ladies and Josh it's Austin's dream it's not even a like a piece of junk let him drive the junk I don't even have like a dream car like brand like I I that's just not what I do um and then take take rock is correct not everyone who has a Mercedes can afford to maintain it totally um but in this hypothetical situation uh I would be able to maintain the uh sick Mercedes so that that's my answer yeah without a doubt all right good answer that's it for us today make sure you do us a favor and hit that like button before you head out today like the show
