This is the OTP. I'm Taylor Zarzer and I'm proud to be joined by the head coach of the Tennessee Titans, Robert Salah. And for those that are watching on our YouTube Tennessee Titans page, they can see a brand new decorated studio for you here, coach. >> It looks pretty sweet. >> You like this? >> Yeah, it looks it looks nice. I appreciate you having me. These uh in fact these chairs that were in coach are the chairs that you and I sat in the day you took the job. They they moved them from down from the locker room up here. And uh and also right behind you on the door that you walked in, a bunch of pictures of the late great Dave McInness, Coach M, my tag team partner. So he will always be watching over us in spirit. So I love that. Coach, we're done with training camp and we go into the season. And I thought it'd be fun for Titans fans for you to do an overview of all the new faces that are with the Titans and your thoughts on each position group. Obviously, you are the head coach of the Titans. Let's start on offense. Brian Dable is your offensive coordinator. I know you've known him for a long time. You've competed against him for many years. What do you think of him as an offensive mind in the National Football League? He's been an awesome teammate so far, you know, and it's um you never know what it's going to be until you actually work with somebody uh going against them and competing against them and uh and hearing what people had to say about him. You you you never really get to truly know until you experience it. And uh he's been as advertised, you know, he's a he's an elite thinker. He's been a big- time helping hand with regards to the day-to-day activities of the organization. And uh uh we're in really good hands with him. >> Lots of passion out there on the practice field. guy was born to be a football coach. There's no question about that. We're going to go position by position, but how about Shay Tierney, who is his quarterback's coach? I know that Daves and Shay have had a relationship for a long time, and Shay's a respected quarterback mind in the league. >> Yeah, you know, they're um they're I don't want to say one and the same, but they feed off each other really well. Shay knows everything that Dabes is about to say and vice versa, you know, and uh they're they're a really good team together and uh they they know exactly what needs to get done on a day-to-day basis to to put the quarterback and the offense in the best position possible. >> So, let's talk about those quarterbacks that you have beginning with the first pick in the draft from last year's draft, Cam Ward, who started every game in the National Football League for the Titans last season, and obviously you're now with him as he goes through his second training camp. Your thoughts on the quarterback? >> Yeah, he's he's been doing a great job. you know, you're um uh for him learning another system. I feel like he's every year he's been in dating all the way back to college, he's been learning a new system every year, but uh he's a great communicator. Uh he asks the right questions. He's going about this the right way and uh looking forward to seeing his growth over the course of the season. >> I would like you, if you can, to repeat what you said after the game about Cam Ward, after the Chicago Bears game when you were asked about Cam's future. you have a lot of confidence in. >> No, it's it's hard not to, you know, like I've I I've always been a person who believes that people win championships. Um you can have the skill, you can have the right scheme, but if you don't have the right people, it doesn't matter. And uh and Cam's the right person. Uh he's he's built the right way, he thinks the right way, he's a deep thinker. Um and I and I just believe that there's no way there's no way that this kid's going to fail. >> I love hearing that. You like the quarterback room overall? >> Overall, yeah, TR Trabiscy's been awesome. Uh um he's been he's been everything that I think Cam needs. >> Let's talk about the running backs. A familiar face for Titans fans. Randy Jordan is still the running back's coach. That guy burns some calories out there on the uh on the practice field. So much passion. How about the room that Coach Jordan has? >> Yeah, he's uh first off, he's he's an unbelievable football coach and a damn good golfer, by the way. Um but uh but the running back room, it's a mature group, you know. Uh Tony obviously leading the way. He's uh he's got to be one of the more underrated backs in all of football. He's had four I think four straight thousand yard seasons. Um Taj is as elusive as it gets and you know you got this young little rookie running back uh and Nick I know he he kind of got hurt uh during training camp but uh he's got a chance to do do some good things. >> Yes, Singleton had a great career at Penn State and I know you have high hopes for him. So that's the running back room and not just running the football. I know you'll ask those guys to make some catches out of the back field. Taj Spears has been great doing that for several years and and Pard showed some signs of doing that throughout training camp. Speaking of catching passes, let's get to the receiver room. Coach, you have to have a bunch of skill guys when you have a great quarterback who you got to have a lot of options for him. Uh you bring back the Titans do some guys that had really good rookie seasons. Chim DK and Eio Manor come to mind. They're now secondyear guys. Calvin Ridley coming off an injury is back at full health. You draft Carnell Tate with the fourth overall pick in the NFL draft. You have him and Wandell Robinson, who's caught 90 plus balls in Brian Dable's offense the last couple of years, is now a Titan. >> Yeah, it it's a it's a versatile group. You know, there's uh I mean, pick your flavor, it's in there. Uh Ridley's uh still got a lot of juice left in the tank. Uh Ellen and Tate provide big bodies. Um, and then obviously Wendell uh is uh is your shifty slot and and DK he he's had a really nice camp. So there's it's a really cool receiver room. Um it's got a chance to be very very productive. And what what's exciting about it it's still relatively young. I know I know Ridley and and Wendell are the vets, but those other three are I mean they're rookies and secondyear players and who haven't even scratched the surface yet of what they're going to be and uh and what their identities are and who they're going to be in this league. And uh it's a it's a really cool opportunity to see that group grow together along with the quarterback and and the running backs. >> Yeah, this is my cheat sheet by the way, my board that I have to have with me at at all times. And uh to your point, Ell 23, Wandelle, he's 25. Yeah, >> you know, he's been a veteran. He's in his fifth year in the league. Chim DK is just 24 years old. >> And then the rookie, >> Carnell Tate, 21 years old. He's just just a baby. What have you noticed from him so far? >> Uh, tremendous maturity. Um, you know, he's he's a big body. Like I said, he's going to get bigger. He's going to get stronger. He's going to get faster. It's just the uh part of natural maturation of of being a a professional athlete and going about your daily business. But, uh, he's wired the right way. He's very smart. You can move them around the formation. You can ask them to do a lot of different things. And u um I' I'd love to sit here and guarantee that it's going to be one of those steady climbs, but you know, you're going to have peaks and valleys like you you will with every single rookie, but but more often than not, I think he's going to end up on the high side. >> Shout out to Greg Lewis, the wide receiver coach. One of my favorite things to do at practice is watch him throw fast balls from five yards away, trying to get these guys to make catches. And if they can catch those balls, they can catch anything. >> No doubt. He he's uh he's he's he's coached some really really good ones in his career. And uh I mean Chudy had a hell of a playing career himself and um self-proclaimed, you know, the Brett Brett Favre play. Uh but he calls it the GU play because he's the one who made the catch. >> That's right. That's right. >> But uh but no, he's he's had a an unbelievable career, not only as a player, but as a coach. >> Uh let's go to the tight end room. I wish Luke Stalker could give us some more reps, by the way, cuz he's built as a great looking tight end who obviously played in the in the league. He's the coach of that room. What do you like about the tight end room? >> Uh, again, it's you know, you got Gunar who's young. You got um uh Belly who's who's the vet, and then uh you know, you've got a bunch of other guys that are are competing to be that third. and uh but but overall it's it's a it's a it's a really good group that's they're they're starting caliber tight ends and and I'm I'm excited to see where where they kind of take it. You know, Gunner um from a year ago to now is a completely different looking person um just physically. >> Uh so he's going to improve and then Belly has always been kind of a a really steady uh uh outlet not only for the quarterback but just really for Dayball and what he tries to do both in the run game and pass game. Yeah, Daniel Bellinger coming over from the Giants in Daves's offense. Carmen Bracilo is your offensive line coach. How about that group? >> You know, it's been a u uh it's been awesome to watch Karm coach, you know, cuz I', you know, I I' I've always been a part of the old, you know, you know, the Alex Gibbs, Mike Shanahan, you know, that that type of system. And now he's he's like the first coach that um I've been around from the Scaria tree. And um he's awesome, man. He does a really nice job. He he creates really cool angles in the run game. He's he coaches with the right mindset and he's got those guys playing at a really cool level. And um you know, whatever worries we had about the offensive line going into camp, I think uh I think that group has done a great job embracing his style of coaching, embracing his messaging, embracing his style of play, and uh it's it's got a chance to be a a a pretty good group for us. >> We had Pete Scaransky visit with us recently, one of the best left guards in football, and uh he said, "I promise you I'm going to try to be fast and violent." He's like, "I know people don't say that I'm fast, but he said, I'm going to try to be fast and violent." And I know your message of being fast and violent also applies to the offensive line. >> It does. You can They can still play fast. You know, the way they run off the ball, the way they strike, the way they get their hands and and uh uh hands onto their u uh the defensive players and whether or not they're owning their side of the line of scrimmage and uh but um but it it's it's been fun to watch that group and it's been a battle in camp. you know, our Dline isn't isn't exactly it's it's not like our D line's a slouch and uh we've got some good dudes on that D line and >> our offensive line has brought it every day and um and I feel like because of it they've gotten better. >> Well, you mentioned the defensive line. So, let's go there next. Aaron White Cotton is your defensive line coach. Tell us about the guys that he's coaching up front. >> Yeah, he's um he's done a really nice job. You know, he he and I have been together since way back in Jacksonville when he was the assistant Dline coach. uh talking about Aaron and um but but just overall, you know, the the group as a whole uh plays to the style that we need the the D line to play, that we expect the D line to play. I think obviously Jeff, I mean, you can put him in any system, he's going to look fantastic. Uh but uh John Franklin Myers has looked awesome. Uh Germaine is on a mission. Uh Si is is does what Sally does best in terms of his effort, his strain, uh his ability to get to the ball. FEM's had good uh really good improvement. Jacob Martin looks like he's 27. I I need to know what supplements he takes. Hopefully, you know, I mean, he looks unbelievable. Um but um but just overall just the group uh as a whole, Jordan uh Elliott getting him from San Francisco, he looks really good. And um you know the and then we have obviously the two rookies with Kevin uh Keldrickch and uh Jackie who have both made great strides. And uh you know there there's I'm sure I'm missing somebody but um but overall I just think the group as a whole uh compliments one another very very well. I think they do a really good job holding each other accountable. Uh there's a lot of alphas in that room and uh and I always tell that group that to whom much is given much is required. And uh you know we'll we'll go as they go and if they're humming we'll be humming. >> Yeah. And you have made it very clear all of them will play. You rotate those guys. >> They're all playing. Yeah. >> They're all playing. Let's go to the linebacker room next. Coach said Gray is coming off of a unbelievable year from a tackling standpoint. Fifth in the National Football League last year. Cody Barton is one of the leaders of this team and you've got a good looking rookie out of the University of Texas. >> Yeah. Uh the rookie the rookie had a really nice camp. He's only going to get better. Um he's got great range, athleticism, speed. Uh they demonstrated that and in the uh last preseason game against Chicago running with a receiver on a shallow cross. Um a lot of linebackers that's probably an explosive play, catch and run and running away from him. But uh uh Cody's been a a solid rock at the Mike linebacker spot. Just his ability to communicate, get everybody lined up, um uh put himself in position to make plays. Cedric has been as advertised with with regards to how he plays. Um I think James Williams has had a really nice camp. uh and and developing as a uh as a linebacker coming from being a safety in college. Um so, you know, just overall it's a really good group. Um uh still a lot of growth to be had, but uh but like like where it's at. >> Anthony Hill, of course, is that rookie that we're talking about and that room is coached by Dave Borggoni. Let's go to the secondary. Marquan Emanuel um is a guy that was born to coach football as well at the safety spot. How about the guys he's coaching? >> Yeah. Um really excited about that group. You know, like um when you look at the two starters between Hook and uh Kevin uh Winston, um a lot of versatility. Hook being a veteran, Kevin obviously being a uh a young a young man, they they play off each other pretty well. Uh Kate has as as much athleticism as I think I've ever had. I don't want to compare to other players. I've had some really good ones at safety, but his speed, his range, his violence, it it's up there with with some of the best ones that I've coached. And Hook has got such great instincts and obviously he still has all his range, too. And then, you know, Tony Adams as our uh third safety and uh he's he's going to play a lot of football, too. He's a he's a reliable player. He plays fast. He communicates well. Uh he's got violence to him and uh and plays with instincts. So, it's it's a good safety room. Really good safety room. And uh and it's a group that we are going to lean on heavily. Tony had three picks for you when you coached him for the Jets back in 2023. Had a big one in practice against the Bears last week. Okay. The cornerback room, coach, led by Tony Odin. >> Oh, yeah. Um, again, same thing with that group. A lot of new faces and uh we do strain ourh corners with uh with some of our coverage principles and their communication. And I mean, shoot, we had had a little mix up there in the uh uh Seattle game in that first drive. But, uh, you know, um, Alante is really starting to get his feet underneath him as a corner. Uh, you know, he's he's been playing nickel his entire career and asking him to be a full-time corner. I think he's really turned the corner over the last, no pun intended, uh, over the last like week or so. I think he's really taken a huge step and, uh, really excited about where he's at heading into the season. Uh Flat is a very instinctual um uh corner. He does a lot of really really good things and he's he's improving with the things that we're asking him to do also. And uh uh and then obviously Marcus Harris uh manning that nickel spot. Uh um really excited to see how he grows throughout the year. >> All right, now we got to get to special teams. One of the legendary coaches in the league is John Bones Fossil. So well regarded and you retained him as your special teams coach. You you bring in Tommy Townsen, one of the best punters in the game, coming over from Houston, won a championship with the Chiefs. Joey Sly has had an excellent training camp at kicker and Morgan Cox. Age is not a number with that guy at Long Snapper. Tell me about special teams. >> Uh first off, Bones is like a uh I mean, it's like a breath of fresh air, man. It doesn't matter how how crappy your day is. If if you're if you're in a if you're if you're having a rough day, just go into his office. So true. You'll come out of there feeling feeling like a million bucks. But, uh, you know, those guys have been awesome. Uh, obviously Morgan is just you don't notice him, which is a good thing. That's what you want. Uh, Tommy, when he puts his foot on that ball, man, that thing that thing goes. And, um, uh, Joey's been super impressive, man. Like, uh, and I've said it before, uh, he has a he has a rough week uh, the blue and white uh, scrimmage and and next day you got a bunch of kickers making their way in for a workout. Like that's there there's a uh a mental toughness that that needs to be displayed in that moment. And he's been he's been nailed since. So >> yeah, he has. And then of course you got an allp pro that's your return man in >> Lou. I'm you know what? I haven't gotten a chance to see it because it's preseason. So I'm looking forward to it. >> Yeah, I bet you are. >> I've heard it's pretty good. >> It's a he's a weapon, man. The best in the league last year. Coach, before we let you go, anything else you'd like to say about your staff? Dave Gardy is now in charge of your football operations. Uh, your your conditioning team did an incredible job preparing these guys for training camp. Just overall, what do you think of your staff? >> No, it's been great. I I I messed with Guardy because he, you know, I was like, "Gardy, we brought you here because you know every rule in the book." He does. So, I'm looking for loopholes. I don't want to be held held to the fire on these things. But, uh, no, he's been he's been awesome, though. You know, any questions we have. Uh, >> uh, he's always there to, uh, give a lending. He's he's not just an administrator, you know. He's he's a football guy at heart. uh uh uh comes from a football family and so having him here has been incredible. Um you know, I think our food, our nutrition team is as good as anybody in football. Uh they've done an outstanding job. Our cafeteria, I mean, I I I I wish the cafeteria could be open to the public cuz it's it's it'd be a five-star Michelin restaurant, man. It's it's they do an outstanding job in there. They really do. And uh uh very fortunate to have them part of the team. and uh and our our strength crew, you know, we've uh you know, full transparency, there's there's an adjustment for all of us to to to learn one another throughout OTAAS and and the adjustments that we needed to make. And credit to them being open-minded. Um they attacked the heck out of the 40 days uh with our players and uh and I do think this has been one of the more grueling, difficult training camps uh that you could put together. Uh and we managed to do it while getting stronger in the weight room and maintaining our health. So, credit to those guys. They've done an outstanding job all the way around. And it's time to go win some football games. >> You have a lot of confidence. I can see it and I can hear it as well. And by the way, Jim Wyatt's in the best health of his life. No wonder that that cafeteria is working wonders down there. There's no question about that. >> You know, there there there is there is a section for like the guys who need to gain weight. Hopefully, he's staying away from that. >> More protein in his system. Coach, we can't wait to do this with you every single week. I think everybody is so fired up for the 2026 Titans season. >> That's gonna be awesome. It's gonna be awesome. >> Titans fans, SeatGeek is the official primary ticketing partner of Titan Up and here to help you experience all the action this season.

Well, throughout training camp here with the Titans, we had a chance after practice to talk to the best players on the team each day, and those interviews were all available on the Titan social channels. But let's make them available right here. Here are the best of all those interviews we did. Beginning with the quarterback, Cam Ward. >> The quarterback, number one, Cam Ward, with us here. As we approach the end of training camp, Cam, what's your overall assessment of how it's gone for you and the team? >> Oh, it's been going good. Uh, getting better each and every day, both sides of the ball. Um, it's been battle for sure. We got great guys on both sides. Um then been a journey you know getting to you know learn the ins and out of the offense with Dable not for myself but for the the receivers the O line running backs everybody involved in offense would have been fun. >> Brian Dable the offensive coordinator that you just referenced you guys have had a relationship for a while and in talking to him he says you're one of the most coachable people he's ever encountered that you wanted feedback instantly and you know he's going to give it to you in a candid way. You seem to really respond to that. >> Uh yeah, it's the it's the only way you going to get better. Um, you got to be able to be a coachable no matter what level you play from high school all the way to NFL. Um, and he's one of the best play callers, you know, to be in the NFL to, you know, establish himself. I mean, he's been around for a long time. He's coached great quarterbacks in his past. Um, and so, you know, I'm taking every bit of insight that he gives me, Coach Shay gives me. Um, and I'm really trying to, you know, tie that to my game and making myself better and my teammates better. >> It's obvious in almost every answer you've given us how bad you want to win a championship. You want to create a championship culture. What do you see overall with the organization that makes you believe everybody's headed in the right direction? >> Uh, I just think we have a a good head on our shoulders right now from, you know, the top, Miss Amy, from all the way to the Borgani to, you know, Coach Salah. He's the right guy to have here to lead us. Um, and we're we're going in the right direction for sure. Um, we we make no excuses because we're a young team. You know, at the end of the day, you got to play, you know, your best football on Sunday. Uh, you can have day you can have a bad day Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, but Sunday, that's where you got to be your best. We all understand that we all want to contribute to one another to win the championship. >> Okay. Now, this guy said I need to keep the energy up on my touchdown calls. If you watch quarterback, you said I need to keep the enthusiasm high. Are you going to grade my ability this year after touchdown calls? >> I I I'll watch I'll watch a highlight video of yours by the end of the year and I'll see. >> It's my guy. Tighten up. I am here with the best defensive tackle in the world. The heart of the Tennessee Titans. A man that was really ready to hit somebody. Hit another team for the first time in over seven months. How good did that feel? >> I felt way better than going up against all guys every day. >> It was always good to be able to um see different during training camp. Um that's a part of it to be able to go against guys, especially all guys. Peter, congrats to him. Yeah. >> Then you got JC. It's a competition each and every day. And then we come out here and we showcase what we've been doing back in Tennessee. I think we had a pretty pretty good day today. >> Jeff, I know it's only been a few weeks. You've gone through the offseason program though and now you're going through training camp. try to describe to all Titans fans what's different about this 2026 team so far. >> I tell you when I every every day you walk into the building just feel different. You know when we talking about the energy you talk about the mindset you I mean I've been in the locker room I'm hear an offensive guy come in and and just talk about how how excited he is just to to be in this new offense to be with DV and with Cam his his uh his growth going into year two. And then on the defensive side, I mean, having Solo, man, that's that's that energy on the sideline and his play call, his aggressiveness. Um, he he we speak it, he talk about it each and every day, fast and violent. Um, he challenged us today to be the most violent team today. And from the looks of it on both sides of the field, that's what we did today. >> Before he let you run, a lot of these coaches and people around you said, "Man, wait till you see him in a 4-3 defense." He was amazing in a three- four. Wait till you see him in a 4-3. Do you believe that, too? >> Most definitely, man. and today showed um a little bit um of it. And I would say I'm not there yet. Uh we still got a long way to go before the first game of the season. Um this reason why we doing and having these opportunity to practice against other team and training camp. Um I'm not where I want to be at. Um that's just me being me myself. Very hard on myself. I got a lot of things to clean up, but things are going to get real exciting come September. >> Here we are. Carnell Tate after his first training camp practice in the National Football League. Dream come true. >> Uh definitely a dream come true. I mean, I worked all my life for this moment, so we're here. >> Yeah. Tell me about it. How did it go? >> Uh first day was good. Um getting our feedback under us, continuing to build with the team from where we left off in the spring. >> What was it like catching balls from Cam Ward out there today? >> Uh it felt good. Um still building on a connection, trying to uh propel into the season. >> Your quarterback never takes a day off. He wants to play football all the time. Are you like that, too? >> I'm I'm with him. I'm like that with him as well. We uh talk after this. We talk We just FaceTime randomly. Uh talk crap to each other. We just trying to get better, doing what's best for this program. >> Yep. And I saw you catching a lot of balls with him during practice and then you caught some balls with him after practice. That seems like that chemistry is just as important as the practice is. >> Oh yeah, definitely. The more chemistry you guys have, the more trust he has in me, then the more times I can go out there and show up for my team when they need me. >> What is the thing that you're concentrating on these first few weeks of training camp? >> Just staying consistent. I think that's the biggest thing that and that just shows how good you are as a person, as a player, and then that also makes sure the coaches have to trust me. When you when you consistent, you go out there and make plays. >> There's something really cool that you're doing for the fans. I want you to tell everybody about what you're doing here in the next few weeks. >> Uh so yeah, so whenever the shipment gets to me this, uh over the next few weeks, whenever I have all the jersey in it, u I'll post a spot that each and everyone can come out there and get a jersey. >> Yep. >> How? >> And they can find that on your social media, right? >> Yeah, it'll be on my social media. First come, first serve. So yeah, I can't do nothing about it. always doing something for the fans. That's absolutely right. >> Cam to Carnell. I'm ready to say that a lot this year on the Titans radio broadcast. Man, we look forward to it. >> Thank you, my friend. >> Juan Dale Robinson, brand new receiver for the Tennessee Titans. He has been going through camp, having a great camp. How's it going? >> It's been great. Um, you know, continue to develop that chemistry with him and, um, the rest of the guys on the offense and just continue to get better each and every day. I say that you're new, but it actually you know more about this offense than the rest of us because you've been playing for Brian Dable your throughout your professional career. How would you describe his offense? >> Um definitely receiver friendly, player friendly. Um you have a lot of options to run a lot of different routes and um feel like that's what kind of what I do the best is just kind of make decisions on the fly and um just being valuable for the quarterback. >> Does he coach everybody hard, tell them the truth all the time? >> Oh yeah. I mean he doesn't sugarcoat anything. He's kind of like Cam. So, um, he's definitely gotten a little bit better with how mad or angry he he does get. Sometimes I'm like, I need you to bring that back out. Um, but no, he's been great. Um, he's just coaching everybody, does everything great. Um, yeah, happy to be with him again. >> What's that dynamic like with Cam at quarterback? >> Oh, man. I mean, I love him. Uh, we're together so much. It's almost feels like we just kind of know what each other are thinking whenever. Um, he might give me a look and I already know what he's about, but they single me and want me to run. So, um, just continue to work with him. >> He's throwing you a lot of seeds. We saw you last year due to injury in part catch a lot of balls downfield. I know you have that part of your game, but do you think we'll see you inside quite a bit more this year? >> Yeah, for sure. I say I mean, you know, if you look at our receiver room, we got we got some specimens on the outside and so um I'm excited for that for those guys and that's going to help me even more having those safeties get back and I can work underneath and get a lot of yak for cam and um just help our offense go. >> How important is it to you to play this close to where you're from? >> I mean, it's it's awesome. My family gets to come to every home game. It's they can drive up on the day of the game if they would want to. They don't have to come an hour and I mean a night before getting on a flight or anything like that like they had to before. But uh I mean it's great. It's so awesome. They were actually here at practice today. So it's it's great. >> We can't wipe the smile off this guy's face. He is so happy to be in Nashville, Tennessee. And we're thrilled to have you, my friend. No doubt. >> Tighten up. >> Yes, sir. >> Titans training camp with Gunnar Helm going into his second year as a tight end for the Titans. >> I know everybody asks this. What's the biggest difference doing this for the second time as a pro? kind of know your way around practice-wise. Um, you know how guys practice. Um, you know, it's easier to understand NFL defense is in your second year. Um, I think it's just all about, you know, having that consistency and having that um that experience under your belt. Uh, just makes you feel a lot more comfortable in your second season. >> Specifically, tell me about that relationship with Cam because it everyone says what they feel to him and it's vice versa. >> Yeah, 100%. Uh yeah, he's one of my best friends off the field, so um you know, we can get into it sometimes if one of us disagree with one another. Um but um you know, like I said, brothers fight and uh we always find a way to bounce back and uh make it better. >> What do you think makes this organization have a championship culture as you go into your number two? >> I think the guys that just have the want and the will. Um you know, not just for oursel, but um you know, we know that Nashville is a big sports town. Um you know, we got the pres here. We got, you know, soccer's coming along uh pretty well and uh, you know, we just want to do really well for the fans. Um, you know, they deserve it. >> What about the Horns in 2026? >> Going to be unbelievable. U going to be there game one. I'm really excited. Um, you know, Arch finally started to catch fire at the end of the year. Um, you know, they got a great tight end room, great receivers, always going to have a good defense, great championship. >> Just for you. Just for you. Yes, sir. >> Okay, tighten up. Thank you, man. >> Absolutely. Training camp interviews end with Mr. Thousandyard rusher Tony Pard. Oh, wait a minute. And a special and a special guest. >> And a special guest, >> Taj Spears is in the running backs. Tell me how everything's going TP through training camp. >> Um, I feel like we've had a great training camp. You know, just growing throughout the course of time and just getting closer together, getting a feel for how we play with each other and going out there executing. It seems like the two of you have one of the best dynamics in the NFL that you feed off each other. It's you're competitive with each other, you cheer for each other that it's a a really good vibe the two of you have. >> Uh I feel like it's a relationship that we building daily. Um it's a lot of things y'all see on the field, but there's a lot of things that y'all don't see like us holding each other accountable, us pulling through for each other, us encouraging each other. So yeah, it's a lot people don't see. Now, a lot of us look at you as this mo this dual threat out of the back field and you are catching a lot of balls, but maybe the catch of practice today comes from number 20 Tony Pard. How about how about that grab that you had in practice? >> Uh yeah, just a little little old flashback, you know, uh back in my Memphis days at receiver. >> He tried to be like modest about Tony Pard. You ain't going to throw Tony P the ball. >> You threw Tony P the ball. You saw what happened. Taj, tell me about the culture on offense this year with a new coaching staff, secondyear quarterback and Cam Ward. How's everything going? >> Um, we getting a lot of stuff in daily, but we coming together as a group. Um, we getting to know each other. We spending more time with each other and we building that bond that's going to carry us throughout the season. >> I know you want to win big time. It's time, isn't it? >> Yeah, it is time. It is time. >> Tighten up. >> Big number 77, Peter Skaransky, congratulations on the contract. I know you're ready to move on and talk some football, but to all Titans fans out there, it had to be pretty awesome to get the response you've gotten from everyone. >> Yeah, I mean, everyone's been unbelievably supportive and and appreciative of me and I'm equally as thankful and appreciative of everyone and um blessed to be here and be in this environment with the fans and organization and just all around awesome feeling. >> Tell me what you're thinking right now about this upcoming season and where your mind is. mine. I mean, it's hard to think too far ahead in training camp right now. It's like next objective is going to San Francisco and practicing them against against them in 48 hours, you know? So, that's like training camp, you're always seeing it one day at a time and just trying to grow every single day. And so, I think the mentality of looking through our next season and, you know, worried about what we're going to do in week one or week five or week 18 is is can get distracting. So, I think it's about us and how we can improve day by day. >> Your head coach, Robert Salah, talks about being fast and violent. How can offensive linemen like yourself do that? >> Yeah, I mean you can't be too fast or too violent or else you might uh end up on your face. But um yeah, it's it's a mentality I think and so it may not mean you know us hitting 20 miles per hour running. But it might be mean, you know, exploding off the snap, you know, getting in the line of scrimmage, throwing your hands, being physical with your punch. Um a variety of things you could be you can have violent fundamentals um without being overaggressive and being, you know, doing too much. One of your biggest fans is going up against you, Jeffrey Simmons. He is a huge supporter of yours. What's it like going up not just against him, but all the other guys that are around him now? >> Yeah, I mean, this defense is a huge challenge. I mean, the the front is designed to challenge offensive line and and make our jobs hard, and they're trying to attack and disrupt. Um, and you know, you have the best defensive tackle in the league now in that in that technique. And, um, you know, we're actually pretty lucky because we have someone like that to go against every day. And then now we get into the season and everything feels a little bit easier because you know we're not going against big Jeff on Sundays. But um yeah, it's it's a huge challenge. I think like I said, I think we're blessed and lucky to have what we have right now on this defensive line to challenge us right now and to make us better and it's going to pay dividends. So man, thanks buddy. >> Tackling machine Cedric Gray is with us as we're outside of Titans camp. Tell me what it's like to be a Titan with this new coaching staff. >> Yeah, I mean it's it's really exciting. Um excited about the new staff. Uh Coach Sala, um Gus on the defensive side of the ball. Um has been very exciting. Um you know, they have a lot of history in this league, a lot of success in this league, and I think they have brought that to this defense and this team. Um so just very excited to continue to learn from them and grow throughout camp. >> 33 was all over the football field last year. I was I was saying tackle made by Gray, it felt like on every single play. How does this new system change you at all? Yeah, I mean I don't think it changed me that much at all. Um I think it changes in a in a coverage aspect a little bit. Um this defense is a little bit more uh vision and and playing top down and breaking on the ball and different things like that which creates a lot of opportunities for big hits and kind of keeping everything in front of us. Um but I like to call myself an instinctual player. I feel like that was why I was able to have so many tackles and to get to the ball. Um, so I feel like that's going to continue to be me and continue to be my play style. >> Competing against your teammates every day is a lot of fun for all of us to watch. The defense wants to win each day. You don't want to do those push-ups. You want the offense to do it. What's the back and forth like against the offense, especially with the quarterback. >> Oh, it's it's been a very very competitive camp. Obviously, you probably noticed it a little bit. Guys have been chirping. It's been very competitive. So, that's very exciting. And I think, like I said, that's a part of creating the culture of of who we're going to be. We're not going to take no from nobody. We're going to compete and we're going to stick together and be a team. >> And what I love is after it gets so intense in practice, you're brothers again, right? Doesn't matter what side of the ball you play on. >> Yep. Yep. That's that's always the model. You know, in between the whistles, we hate each other, but after that, we love on each other. We dap each other up, and we're still a team. >> Would you tell everyone watching what GD TB A T means? >> It's a great day to be a Tar Hill, baby. Tighten up too. >> Yes, sir. >> Thank you, man. >> Here with brand new Titan John Franklin Myers. I don't think anybody really calls him that. He is JFM everywhere he goes. How's it feel to be a Titan? >> It feels amazing. I mean, back with the people. I love new place. You see, new new environment. I mean, you see the excitement, intensity, man. I love it. I love every second of we out there. We getting better, making each other better, talking mess while we do it. And man, this is football. Speaking of talking miss, your buddy Jeffrey Simmons, your brand new teammate, does a lot of that. And I can tell you love the energy on the defensive line. >> Yeah. I mean, there's nobody like him, man. And you know, you only hear the stories until you get here, you experience it. You say, "Man, this is actually about 10 times worse than I thought it'd be." >> And uh, man, I love it. I love every second of it. The crazy part about it is he was doing it and and it was just him. And now, you know, we're we're swarming together. We're talking mess with him. And man, there's 11 of us at a time. Uh 11 of us come out, 11 more come in and we do the same thing. It's amazing. >> Aaron White Cider, your defensive line coach has been a fan of yours for a long time. You've worked for him for several years. Try to describe what a defensive line under his leadership was. >> You going to play with violence, you going to play with effort, you going to play with passing. You know, it's intensity in every play. Everything that we do, but there's a standard that we have to uphold. It starts with Jeff, me, Germaine, Si Jordan. I mean those guys we lead the room and everybody else follows and we understand that you understand that the team goes as we go and so any play that we take off that's a play the team doesn't get better we can't have that >> JFM last year you got ready to play Cam Ward in your first game of the season as a meant for Bronco what did you think of Pam when you competed against him last year what do you think of him now >> I think he's a great player and truthfully again another one of those things that you get around him you see the person you see the work and all you should do is respect him he's going to show up to work. He's going to talk mess, man. We're we're hunting him. You know, this is this is an acclamation. We're getting used to each other, but man, we're talking mess. We're hunting him. And he loves it. He wants to compete. He wants to get better. You go against the best, you better get better. >> Aaron White told me after you played for the Rams, you were injured, you got caught after that. You and he says that was a huge moment in your life that made you the player you are now. Why? >> I would say just adversity. you know, something that, you know, you don't experience first time on getting cut and you can you can look at that. You can say, man, maybe this football stuff is and formal, you can say, look, I'm going to use that as an a lesson, an example. I'm going to be better and I'm going make my team better from then, you don't have to look back. >> You're going to make the Titans better. >> Yes, sir. No, no doubt about it. >> Thank you, my friend. >> Hey, Titans fans, this season, save your way with Kroger.

We had to get a dub on our belt. Yesterday we lost. We are here with brand new Titans defensive back Cordell Flot. >> Yes, sir. >> How's it feel to be in Nashville? >> Feel great. I feel welcomed here by the team, the city, and the fans. And I'm excited to get going. >> What is the coach's message about building a culture here this early in training camp? >> More so of the brotherhood, which we already built in OTAAS. Now, right now, we working on like I said, flying around, being gritty, you know, all gas, no break. Speaking of brotherhood, I have noticed that Lifelong Tennessee and Alante Taylor is on your hip at all times and vice versa. The two of you go everywhere together. >> That is true. Yeah, we train together. Everything we did from yoga, from recovery to on the field, things off field, we train together. That's just who we want to be. Our goal is to be the best duo on the league. >> The entire secondary. Tell us uh tell Titans fans what you've noticed from the guys around you. >> Everybody gritty. That's what I love about the guys. even hook the safety just how you know they bonding together off field you know doing team meetings and doing meetings and stuff like that so that we can all communicate and be able to play fast and I'm excited for it. >> Cordell, you come from the New York Giants. Your head coach last year was Brian Dable who's the offensive coordinator now for the Titans. Does he talk a lot to you out there? >> He talk trash now. You get on the day ball hip, he'll talk trash to you. He going to give it to you. So >> now of course there's another guy that you played with named Juan Dale Robinson. You've been going up against him forever. long time. >> Yeah. >> Long, long time, man. I actually hate going up against them, but it's getting me better. So, >> all right. Before we let you go, Cordell, just tell us a little bit about you, how you tick, what you're passionate about, and how you fallen in love with Nashville. >> Yeah, I'm passionate about obviously football. Um, I'm glad that Solid brought me on. He was first mentioned that when we was on the phone, he loved my passion from what he heard from other guys. Uh, bringing to Nashville, I'm bring a good person, a solid character. You know, I love interacting with the fans. I love my teammates and stuff like that. So, I'm just looking to build that chemistry and keep growing here. >> That's awesome. Well, look for number 18 out there on the field. And if you don't see the number and he's already taken off the jersey, you can always find this. >> You can find the chain Cordell. Great to have you, man. I appreciate you. >> The all pro. He's back for an encore. Chim DK. How does training camp number two feel different than this time last year? >> Yeah, I mean, it feels great, you know, just um coming out here being more comfortable. Um obviously new coaching staff, but um the way we've been competing, I love our room. Um Coach G's been pushing us. So, um, you know, it's been a lot of fun. >> Why does Bones Fossil seem to get the best out of his special teams every year? >> He creates a belief. Um, you know, all the guys believe in each other. Um, he believes in me back there. He believes in all the guys, um, that are fighting for me and and, um, that are protecting and doing all the things. And he just instills that belief and that competitiveness us. And we don't want to let him down. We play hard for bones and um, you know, he gives us the techniques to be successful. >> You're giving a lot of examples of people that have done this for a long time at a high level. Some coaches. I know that the entire organization wants to establish a championship culture. Can you feel that happening? >> Oh, for sure. The standard that um Coach Sol um brought in and held us to the competitiveness we have at practice. Um we're going to keep building. We're to keep um becoming a better program. Um and I'm I'm looking forward to winning football um to come to Tennessee. >> Things are going great for you professionally, but personally, I think Miss Lexi got a ring this off season. We talked about all her success playing hockey. What are your nerves like on game day to compare to you going down like that? >> See, it actually helped me because I pros in the afternoon. So, I treated it as though it was like a night game, you know, cuz I was nervous when I woke up. So, it's a night game. We have a night game. You kind of got to be calm throughout the day. So, um she said she had an idea, but she was thrown off because I was so calm. Um so, I attributed to my my football uh mindset. >> You were feeling it though. Butterflies. >> Yeah, I was feeling it. I was nervous. I just wanted to go well and for it to be a special day for her. So, >> man, great job with that. Uh do we have a date? Yep, >> we do. June 19th. So >> June 19th next year. Okay. All right. >> Down here in Nashville. So it should be good. >> You got a lot of great things happening for you. Can't wait to watch you this year. >> Thank you, my friend. Appreciate you. >> Our training camp tour continues with another brand new Tennessee Titan. Germaine Johnson coming over from the New York Jets. How's it feel to be in Nashville, Jermaine? >> Feels amazing, man. Um I played pretty much all my college in the South and you know, I couldn't wait to get back down here and obviously reunited with some uh familiar faces. So everything's going great. I have zero complaints. Just got married. Uh, got two beautiful children. I'm I'm just in a great place right now. So, >> yeah. I mean, if you look at the stats, it would suggest that you played your best football when Robert Salah was calling the defense. Is that how how you believe it? >> Yeah. Uh, for sure, 100%. I mean, there's just there's no defense uh specifically defensive front like this one in all of football. Um, I mean it just lets I I like to say it it keeps things simple and stupid, but at the same time uh it takes a special kind of uh a special kind of player and person to be able to uh execute this uh this defensive front cuz it's it's extremely violent. It's extremely um tenacious and a ton of effort and not everybody can do it and um obviously we have all the right pieces to be able to do it. >> How do you establish that championship culture with this team this year? >> Uh a standard. Everybody's got to be held to a standard and uh I mean that's everybody, coaches, players. Um it's that simple. Uh you like you know and you got to look yourself in the mirror and that's why that's where high character guys come into play cuz when you got somebody who can be their big their own biggest critic and be like ah that wasn't enough or I had more in the tank or I really emptied the tank today and now okay cool. What are you going to do when you get off the field? You going to go get in the training room? You going to go watch some tape? Like how bad do you want And I think um coach Sala got a lot of high character guys in this building. >> You have earned everything you've gotten, man. Welcome to Nashville, man. Thank you for your time today. >> Yes, sir. Thank you. >> First round draft pick, Kendrick Faulk is with us next. And coming off what I thought was a good performance in your first preseason game. What did you think? >> Uh man, it was a couple things that I did really well. A couple things that I feel like uh I could have did way way better. Um I do it better in practice. Uh, and now I just I just need to carry it over from practice to the game. >> You know, I did a lot of your games at Auburn in college and we would have Friday production meetings with you and you would always say the same thing. You said, "Man, I just need to keep getting better. I know there's a new gear I can get to." Are you saying the same thing again now at the pro level? >> It's the same thing, man. The great guys in this league, uh, they always say they got something better to work on. And, uh, that's what I want to be. I want to be one of the great guys in the league. Uh, so to be that is always gonna be something to work on. >> The last interview we did here was with Jeffrey Simmons and in this interview he said, "Keldendrick Faulk is asking me a ton of questions. What is that dynamic like?" >> Um, it's like it's like big bro and little bro. Uh, man, he's the vet. So, and he played a lot of ball. So, um, any and every question I got, I go to him. Jay, Jermaine, JFM, I go to all them guys. Um, and they're not scared to give me any information on anything. Uh they, like I said, my vets make this as easy as possible. The transition has been fun because my vets are I I probably got the best vets in the in the country with it. >> Well, what is the biggest thing you want to do, Kellrick, between now and the first game in the regular season to get ready? >> Uh man, just keep improving. Um that's my biggest thing. I ain't really got no specific, you know, pass, run, none of that. uh just want to keep improving and everything. Uh because man, you know, we got to see in our room. We don't want no weak links and uh I don't want to be a weak link. So, you know, I I want to make sure that I put my best foot forward and uh keep improving day by day. Never stay the same, always get better. >> Well, it's like Gus Bradley just told us coming off the field, he's got the best attitude. He's ready to work. Glad you're here, Kel. >> Yes, sir. >> Thank you, man. So, even on a day where they're not in pads, we still have to do interviews because we have a legend, a ball for life, a lifelong Tennessee, a Titan for life as well. Year 17 >> for Morgan Cox, the long snapper. How we feeling? >> Feeling great. Feeling awesome. Yeah. Still out here hanging with the 20-year-olds, you know. >> Literally, one of our last guests is 20. Kendrick Faulk is 20 and you are >> Yeah, I am 40. I am 40. Literally double his age. It is what it is. I can just tell though the juices are still flowing. You still feel like you have a lot more to give the game of football as a player. >> Yeah, I I mean I I love being out here. I mean, the heat is tough, but it's, you know, it's one of those things. Every time you do something hard, it it makes you uh builds confidence, and I get to come out here and compete. I got the best job in the world. >> Yesterday, we had uh Tommy Townsen and Joey Sly, your best buddies on the team, the kicker and the punter on, and I know how important a great dynamic with those guys is. How is it so far? >> It's been great. I mean, we uh we've, you know, through offseason and through now through training camp and stuff, it's been great working with them. All of us have been different places and all have seen uh success and so being able to bring that all together and have a great chemistry um not only on the field but off the field and and on the golf course occasionally too. Uh uh you know, that's where we felt that you know, the best chemistry is built. So, >> well, you need four players and so usually it's the two of us going up against the uh the two of them. You are so good at your craft, the best in the game. You made the all century team because I don't think you ever misplace one of those long snaps. I got to get inside your technique here. When you turn around, >> yeah, >> what are you what are you looking at before you get down in that crouch? >> On a you're talking about on a field goal, what I'm looking for is is Joey's rhythm. So everything is kind of built on on uh on rhythm and timing and everything. So when I see Joey kind of step to the side, I know it's my queue. so I can go grab go down and grab the ball. I don't want to be like looking between my legs uh for a whole lot of time because I don't want to think, you know, it's kind of like standing over a swing. I don't want to think about it a whole lot. The other thing that that helps is the offensive linemen don't have to sit in a stance for super long. >> Um but then when Joey takes the steps, uh you know, I go grab the ball and uh Tommy calls for it and it's ready to go >> and it works every time. Okay, here's the most important question. You have represented this is you're from here. >> Yep. Yeah. >> You went to school here >> in Memphis. >> And yes, you're from Memphis. You went to school in Knoxville and you live here in Middle Tennessee. You are as much a lifelong Titan in Tennessee and as anybody. And I know everyone says, "Morgan, I want to build a championship culture. I want to see the Titans compete for championships." What are you noticing right now with the organization? you know, I I notice uh competition um and and the not only out out on the field, but guys in the locker room, they're they're you know, as as the saying goes, uh iron sharpens iron. One man sharpens another. So, we're out here, you know, the guys are battling and and fighting and you see the leadership on the team, Cam, Jeff, those guys um love competing with one another and those guys, you know, get after it at practice and so and then you got Coach Salah who's who's uh who's putting everybody in the right position. I think we got a we got a great team. Something something special is building. >> Well, I love that you're a part of it. You will not find a better human in the world than this guy right here. Best long snapper there is, Morgan Cox. Tighten up. >> Yes, sir. Tighten up. >> All right. Now, some guys that are specialists for the Titans, the punter, Tommy Townsen, my man, the kicker, Joey Sly. May or may not be some golf buddies as well, so we might get some golf questions in. Joey, um, everybody's raving about your trip to San Francisco. How would you assess how things went in the Bay Area? >> Uh, it was also, uh, obviously a good game. Um, opportunity to get a lot of big field goals in. Uh, opportunity just capitalize on some good opportunities the team gave me. >> And you're coming off of a year where you made the most field goals in franchise history over 50 yards. I know you love being a weapon when you see this team cross midfield. >> Yeah, I mean, uh, it's something that I want to use as a calling card for myself. I feel like I've had that in my career. Um, going into year eight now. And, uh, just get an opportunity to get around that 50 yard line. Blood starts flowing a little bit more. Got to knock him down off of the the plus 50 punt. >> It makes me feel a lot better about not having to hit him, you know, when we get too close to the 40. And >> I was just about to say, Tommy's like, "Well, nope, no, no, no. You stay back. Joey, you go in." >> We're having a rock, paper, scissors match in the net beforehand. Like, are we going to punt this or are we going to kick it? So, >> this guy's got a cannon for a leg. This guy's got a cannon for a leg. one of the best punters in the National Football League throughout your professional career. What's it like to be a Titan? >> Oh my gosh, it's it's amazing. I mean, Titans have always been a, you know, a top team that I've always wanted to play for and uh and now to have the opportunity to be here. It's um it's been amazing. We have an incredible special teams group with Joey and Morgan and obviously Stu and uh and Bones, you know, um being the being the head guys for us. Um it's incredible. You know, we have we've got we've got a great group and you know, we're building great things with the team here, too. And uh yeah, just excited for the season. >> I know how this guy challenges himself all the time. Uh in practice one day, this guy comes over to me and says, "Last three flushed 340 down the middle." Nice golf reference there. Um how do you hold yourself accountable, Tommy, to reach an even higher level? >> Yeah, I mean, it's it's just not, you know, getting complacent. Uh you know, I was talking to uh Kern today. He came out and um you know I asked him to look at a couple things in the swing and um I was telling him there were a couple of the punts that were coming off just a little bit dinky and um and I was kind of upset with him and he's like he's like no like they're still good balls this and that but um but you know internally I mean when I turn a ball over I hit a spiral I turn it over you know I want it to be my aball every time and uh and you know that just it's that self myself holding myself to a you know very high standard of um you know wanting every punt to be perfect and I mean not everyone is but uh but yeah just, you know, holding myself to that standard. >> A punt that goes 65 plus yards or a coffin corner inside the five. Which would you rather? >> Uh oh jeez. >> Pretty sure he can dang near say both. I think he hit one last year. >> He's the best in the game at both. By the way, >> um I'd say end of the game, coughing corner, dropping on like the two yardd line. That's that's a pretty good feel and I get pretty amped up. Joey, this guy's added to what is an unbelievable dynamic with the specialist. I mean, you add Morgan Cox, who's the best long snapper and has been forever with you and with him. It just seems like you guys have such a strong connection. >> Yeah, I think there's a huge emphasis on forever with Morgan, too. I think he's I think he's probably played football for forever. But, no, just uh I mean, you have a gold standard in Morgan. You have one of the best that's that's doing it right now in the league with one of the strongest legs. Um, I honestly kind of see like me and Tommy are in a very similar position. When we're at our best, I think we're the best at our position. And so, it's just kind of continually challenging ourselves throughout the season, just saying like, hey, how could we really be as individuals and then together as a unit, I think, is really important. And then that just kind of competitive brother battle. He's the younger brother. I was a younger brother. So, I think we kind of got that in our DNA going pretty well right now. >> Boys, we have something special happening with the specialists this year. Glad all three of you are going to be here. We'll talk to Morgan in just a minute, but it's great to talk to both of you. Appreciate you. >> Of course, man. Appreciate it. >> And we got to get you on the course here soon. >> Yes, you do. Absolutely. >> Well, we hope you enjoyed this edition of the OTP, all those interviews that we had and training camp and of course our conversation with the head coach of the Titans, Robert Salah.
