Jonathan Martinez from Fort Myers, Florida
Question: Hi Jim. A pair completely different questions: 1- How have the Titans been trying on the amenities? I’m certain the crew is getting oriented with “new” all over the place from brand to faces, however inside the facility is there an eagerness, because the followers are? 2- How do you see the draft impacting extra free brokers? 3- How do you’re feeling personally concerning the upcoming season? I’m a waft kinda man, however I’ve some purpose be optimistic w/ change. I prefer it! How do you’re feeling with the strikes up to now? How do you see this advancing into some wins this season? Love your work and perspective all the time. Titan up.
Jim: Hey Jonathan. Things are trying good, from the rebrand to the product on the sector. This crew continues to be below building, however there are causes to be optimistic. … The draft will impression gamers presently on the roster, by way of place battles and probably some guys getting waived as soon as additions are made. There are presently 78 gamers on the roster. Add 9 draft picks and that makes 87, sufficient for simply three undrafted free brokers (with a roster restrict of 90). I believe some guys will let go to make room for the brand new additions … I just like the strikes, and I’m extra optimistic about issues shifting ahead. But I’m not going to make any loopy predictions in right here. This crew goes to need to show it. Thanks for writing in from Jevon Kearse’s hometown.
Justin Chambers from Mesa, Arizona
Question: Hey Jim! You heard this from me earlier than however mentioning it once more, the Titans are the NFLs finest operating again crew in historical past (Earl Campbell, Eddie George, Chris Johnson and Derrick Henry) and I really feel like including Jeremiah Love would preserve it going! But I’m additionally curious about picks 2 and three. Do you see the opportunity of Titans shifting up into spherical 1 for one more decide? I’m in Arizona and have seen Jordyn Tyson do some spectacular issues a number of occasions!
Jim: Hey Justin. I’m not ruling something out. I do not suppose it is outdoors the realm of chance that the crew strikes into the again of the primary spherical, however one thing like this would not transpire till the night time of the draft. So a lot hinges on which gamers could be obtainable, and what different groups could be keen to do. But if there is a man sitting there late within the first the crew actually needs, then I think about some calls shall be made.
Jason Vesely from Mosinee, Wisconsin
Question: I feel the Titans take Arvell Reese at #4 and even transfer up one spot to #3 with the Arizona Cardinals to do the deal. He is a disruptive pressure on the market and that matches effectively pairing with Jeffery Simmons on the road, that and if Oluwafemi Oladejo reveals up that protection might have potential to actually be one thing scary. I might see a operating again being picked within the second or third spherical. that operating again from Indiana, Black I feel his title is, however he’s a younger Derrick Henry the way in which he runs he sees that gap hits it and he goes like a bowling ball going downhill he can bust one like Henry.
Jim: We’ll discover out in two days, Jason. I nonetheless suppose I’d be stunned to see the crew transfer as much as three. And whereas I feel Jeremiyah Love may be very a lot in play at 4, if he isn’t there and the crew does not get him, I’d be stunned to see one other operating again picked early by this crew. Love’s distinctive traits make him a can’t-miss/can’t-pass-up prospect in my thoughts, nevertheless it’s not just like the crew is determined on the place. It’s going to be attention-grabbing to see how issues play out. I’m unsure Reese makes it to 4 both, however at this level it is exhausting to know what to imagine with all of the smokescreens on the market.
Randy Paltzer from Kaukauna, Wisconsin
Question: Good day Jim! Not actually a query right here simply an remark from a very long time Titan fan. Titan-Oiler historical past has proven that for some purpose this group has been essentially the most profitable with a stud RB.
Earl Cambell – Edddie George – Chris Johnson – Derrick Henry and others I could have unnoticed. Therefore, should not the 4th decide be a no brainer. Jeremiah Love MUST be the beginning of one thing massive! Right?
Jim: What if Love is just not there at 4?
Jason Petty from Lebanon, Tennessee
Question: Hey Jim, Happy Draft week! I hope you and the household are all doing AMAZING. I’ve 2 questions for you this time round. #1- What is your regular routine for every NFL draft you cowl for the Titans, IF you’ve got a “routine”? And I’m certain you are within the Titans sales space/room throughout every day of the draft, or a minimum of have been a time or 2. What’s it like within the sales space/room with the GM, coaches, homeowners? I personally would identical to to know out of your perspective. Thanks for studying, and Looking ahead to your stories over the following few weeks! I imply I all the time do look ahead to studying your stories, however this time of 12 months is a bit more anticipating. #TitanUp
Jim: Appreciate it, Jason. I’ll be in Pittsburgh for Round 1. I commonly attend the primary night time of the draft, and hopefully the crew’s decide shall be there and I’ll get to speak to him. Then I’ll be again in Nashville on Friday morning for days 2 and three of the draft. I’m not within the War Room – that is reserved for possession, personnel of us, coaches, and so on. My job is to put in writing concerning the crew, so I’ll be protecting the draft, from writing tales to being on zoom calls with the prospects to attending press conferences with the GM. It’s all the time a whirlwind.
Kilroy Caldwell from Blues Hill, Tennessee
Question: Been awhile since I’ve chimed in, hope you & all people effectively needs. Just discovered of the passing of Coach Mac, I’m saddened by the lack of such an incredible man, condolences to household, associates, and Titans nation. Never met the person, however listening to him and Mike Keith on the radio felt such as you and a few buddies sitting within the nostril bleed bleachers watching a ball recreation. He will ceaselessly be missed, together with Mike. Coach Mac must be instantly added to The Ring of Honor, which brings me to my question- Why is not Keith Bulluck within the ring? Case in level – Linebacker with 19 ints, 18 sacks, 13 fumble recoveries, 5 touchdowns. Borderline Hall of Fame numbers.
Jim: Appreciate it, Kilroy. I’m going to overlook Coach Mac, an incredible man I knew for over 20 years. Good query on Ok.B., who actually might find yourself within the Ring of Honor sooner or later. He positively has some spectacular credentials.
Josh Carter from Chattanooga, Tennessee
Question: Jim, In making ready for the draft, I used to be trying over the roster listed on tennesseetitans.com and I used to be noticing our longtime vets, all share a no nonsense, hardworking, blue collar kind of really feel. Big Jeff and Amani are the longest time period guys at 8 seasons and so they appear to indicate up massive yearly and each down. After that I feel Morgan Cox has been right here the following longest, with this being season 6. Then now we have Chestnut listed as 12 months 5.
My query is, why is Mason Kinsey listed as season 4, when he joined the Titans in 2020? That would makes this 12 months 7 for him and he can be the third longest tenured man. Maybe it’s only a clerical error. I do know he went to the Patriots for a minute. Either manner, out of this checklist of lengthy timers now we have 4 homegrown guys and a pair of of them undrafted. I hope we get one other nice crop of hardworking, no nonsense guys this 12 months and a very good group of undrafted guys who will characterize our crew effectively for a very long time! I am unable to wait to see the way it all seems! Titan Up!
Jim: Hey Josh. The manner the Titans tally the NFL expertise tab is predicated on accrued seasons, and to ensure that a 12 months to depend, the participant must be on the roster in some capability for six video games.
Richard Robles from Springfield, Tennessee
Question: Hi, Jim. I feel now we have to draft Jeremiah Love within the 1st Round. The Titans will draft Jeremiah Love within the 1st Round. We knew Jeffrey Simmons is saying the decide. We higher consider the fitting issues.
Eric Biederman from Franklin, Tennessee
Question: Not actually a query, only a message to different Titans followers. Whoever Borgonzi picks is an efficient prospect. You cannot decide at no 4 and never get somebody who could be good. I feel folks want to relax out a little bit bit with the “If we don’t get this guy, it’s over” mentality. Cheers!
Jim: Thanks for chiming in, Eric.
Have an incredible draft week everybody!
