Starting point is 00:00:52 we're going to go over. My winners on today's show, on tomorrow's show, we're going to take a look at my losers. Today, though, we got to talk about the linebackers taking a step forward, the rookie weapon shining, and we'll start with Cam Ward and Will Levis, who I both think are winners from Mandatory Minicamp. Before we dive in though, thanks again for making Locked on Titans your first listen each and every day. Remember, Monday through Friday,

If you aren't an every dayer, you need to be one. It may be the off season for the Titans, but there's never an off season. Here on Locked on Titans, we're going to do winners and losers for mini camp. We're going to do what the Titans plan is going forward throughout the summer until training camp.

Starting point is 00:01:48 We're gonna do division rival week next week. So much content planned for you guys. Again, make sure you get subscribed, stay subscribed. It's your team every day. With that being said though, my big winners start with Cam Ward from Mandatory Minicamp. But again, it wasn't always perfect. I'm not gonna sit here and pretend that it was always perfect for Cam Ward from Mandatory Minicamp. But again, it wasn't always perfect. I'm not going to sit here and pretend that it was always perfect for Cam Ward and Mandatory Minicamp. Look, Day 1 was absolutely phenomenal. If you remember, 20 for 21 completed 18 straight,

Starting point is 00:02:18 14 for 14 in team period. It was absolutely electric. Okay. But days two and three were more realistic and days two and three really were there to teach lessons. Day two, the defense dominates the day. Can't get anything going. Cam Ward throws the interception to Cody Barton. Day three, two interceptions, one to Cody Barton and seven on sevens, another one to Davion Ross in full team period. So there were struggles out there.

Starting point is 00:02:48 There were throws that were behind, throws that were a little high, stuff like that. It was not all perfect for Cam Ward. We can all acknowledge that. But that is not the point here. We're talking about mandatory minicamp. And going into mandatory minicamp, I just wanted to see Cam Ward do a couple of things. And most of it weren't about, oh throw this many touchdowns or don't throw picks.

Starting point is 00:03:14 Yes, you wanted to see Cam Ward do some things out on the field. And in my opinion, we did see that. We got three touchdown passes on day three as well when they were working in red zone. So it wasn't all bad out there for Cam Ward. And with that dominant first day and what he was able to do in his very first day to come out and have that sort of success, check the boxes for what I needed to see on the field. OK, it's kind of one of those pass or fail things where we could look at whether Cam Ward's grade should be C, B, A, this and that.

Starting point is 00:03:43 But for me, mandatory mini camp is not about that. That's a training camp, preseason, season conversation. These are all season practices where I need to see Kam Ward and his first full team with the veterans as an NFL player. His first opportunity as a starting quarterback in the NFL. I want to see what he's going to do when it's a pass fail situation. And he checked the on-field boxes that I needed to see.

Starting point is 00:04:11 Bouncing back from it was interception on day one, none on two, then on two on day three. That's what the total was. But again, to see what he did day one, the successes that he had, and here's what else I would say. This is about calibrating. The on-field situation is about calibrating right now, and Cam Ward said it best himself,

Starting point is 00:04:33 and we talked about it on last week's final episode of day three, where we talked about Cam Ward saying, hey, I'm glad I did it in that situation. He even made a joke about it, said seven on seven is not real football, I'm glad I threw it to Cody Barton. He's on my field day team for the all season, you know, competition the Titans had going. So we get points for that. But Cam said, you know, he's just figuring things out what he can do, what he can't do. And he said he'd rather do it now in the practice so that he knows what to do when game time comes around. And I thought what he said

Starting point is 00:05:03 about the second interception to Davion Ross in 11 on 11 full team drills, he said he threw it, he should have thrown it sidearm. And he doesn't know why he did just a generic release when if he did it sidearm, he would have been able to fit it into Calvin Ridley. And that is Cam Ward Tinkering. That is Cam Ward calibrating the system of, hey, where can I throw this?

Starting point is 00:05:23 What can I do here? What works? What doesn't work? So the fact that Ken Ward was able to have the success that he had out on the field, even while it not being perfect, while also being to calibrate what works and what doesn't work, we can look at all the stuff that didn't work, him finding out, oh, this doesn't work. Oh, I have to do this to avoid mistakes.

Starting point is 00:05:42 Oh, this and that. But nobody wants to spend time talking about all the stuff that he figured out. Oh, this does work Oh, I can do this. Oh, I can get this ball in here Which he found out as well So to me I would compare it as I always do to cooking You know, you got a crack of a few eggs to make an omelet You got to mess up a few dishes to find the right recipe. There's a lot of failure on the way to success,

Starting point is 00:06:09 whether it be football, cooking, life, business, doesn't matter. There's a lot of failure on the way to success. And you have to be willing to fail because failing is learning. And Cam Ward learned this week, but he also had success out on the field and the other boxes that mattered more to me. The swagger, the leadership, the command of the huddle, the amount of reps that he was getting.

Starting point is 00:06:35 Because remember the haters, like I always said, the Titans are talking about an even split. They even mentioned it's going to change. I'm not freaking out. They're not going to give an even split to Cam Ward and Will Levis. That's not going to happen. And we talked about it a ton and it didn't happen. Cam Ward got the majority of the reps. He's the starting quarterback on the team. Will Levis is the QB too. So the swagger, the leadership, the command, him, the videos with Calvin Ridley in the locker room where they're messing with each other. Like Cam Ward from the on field to the learning opportunity

Starting point is 00:07:11 to the off field to the leadership to the locker room, Cam Ward checked every single box that I wanted Cam Ward to check this week. Every single box he checked it. Biggest winner, the big winner is Cam Ward from Mandatory Minicamp because in my opinion, he didn't prove that he's gonna be a great player. He didn't prove he's gonna win MVPs. He didn't prove he's gonna lead the Titans to the Super Bowl,

Starting point is 00:07:33 but he proved he belonged. He proved he belonged. And he looked like a starting NFL quarterback. That, to me, is what was most important for mandatory mini camp for Cam Ward. And again, he checked every single box that I wanted to see him check. But I did want to spend some time real quick

Starting point is 00:07:52 on Will Levis. We mentioned Will Levis. Will Levis is a big winner of mandatory mini camp to me as well. And I know that we all don't care about Will Levis anymore. He's Woody and we've moved on to Buzz Lightyear. See ya, partner. Don't wanna play with you anymore.

Starting point is 00:08:08 It's over. And I still personally, I admit, I think the smart thing to do here is to trade Will Levis, and I think the Titans should be actively working to trade Will Levis. That is what's best for the locker room. That's what's best for the team. That's what's best for Will Levis. What's what's best for the team. That's what's best for Will Levis.

Starting point is 00:08:25 What's best for Will Levis is a fresh opportunity, but you know, just have some humanity for a second. Have some empathy for a second, just for a second. Let the fact that he made you feel bad on Sundays and he, you know, made people tease you because your quarterback's Will Levis. And you got to hear about the Mayo stuff and you didn't like him coming out of college and all these, just let all that go and just think about being a human. What Will Levis just went through over the last year has to suck. You failed, you failed miserably, you thought you had the best opportunity you've been waiting for your whole life and you failed.

Starting point is 00:09:04 And now everybody hates you and half the fan base hated you the moment you were drafted and didn't want you to succeed and was hoping that you failed. So half of the people that are supposed to love you are hoping for you to fail. The other half are uncertain and now the half that did like you doesn't want anything to do with you either. Your own, forget the fans, your own bosses and most of your teammates are ready for you to be gone and are now showing allegiance to the new guy. All the while, it's not like you're dead. You got to keep coming to work in this scenario and in this environment where nobody wants you. The Titans proved that they don't want you because they drafted Cam Ward. The fans don't want you. Your teammates are all excited about the new quarterback and the new guy. They don't want you. Your teammates are all excited about the new quarterback

Starting point is 00:09:46 and the new guy, they don't want you. And you gotta keep coming to work and somehow play your best because you got a career that you wanna continue. That isn't easy. Just be a human being for a second. That isn't easy. So for Will Levis to show up, handle things professionally, be transparent,

Starting point is 00:10:07 tell the truth about how he's feeling, which I don't blame him for at all, he was honest about it, it must suck. Yes, you're an NFL player. Yes, you're a 6'4 physical beast. Like life is gonna be fine. But just being human for a second, that can't be fun. So not only did Will Levis show up and act professionally, not only did Will Levis show up and be transparent and honest, but he showed up and he played pretty solid too. He played pretty solid. He had the best throw of camp probably was his 50-yard bomb. I think it was Van Jefferson or James Prochet, one of the two.

Starting point is 00:10:44 But like, Lev is played pretty well out there. And for the forgotten man who nobody wants, he deserves some shine for finding a way to play pretty good football despite the circumstances. But let's keep talking about these rookie weapons who are winners from camp as well. Do want to let you know that today's episode is brought to who are winners from camp as well. Do want to let you know that today's episode's brought to you by game time. Look, there's nothing like the NBA playoffs.

["Titan's Theme Song"] Titans fans, let's continue today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast. We're looking at the winners from Tennessee Titans mandatory mini camp on tomorrow's show. I'm going to be looking at the losers from Tennessee Titans mandatory mini camp. This week, we're going to look at where the Titans go from here, what their schedule is

Starting point is 00:12:42 going forward and why every single part leading up to the season from now on is critically important. Also, we're going to look at the biggest remaining questions for the Titans going forward into this summer break. Again, it's like a six-week, five-week break for the Titans to get back on the field for training camp, but the content is not slowing down here on the Locked on Titans podcast, so again, make sure you get subscribed. Stay subscribed to your team every day. Moving on.

Starting point is 00:13:08 Big winners for mandatory minicamp, to me, were the rookie pass catchers. Throughout each day, it was a little quieter on day three, I must admit. But throughout each day of Tennessee Titans mandatory minicamp, we heard whether it was direct practice reports from like Jim Wyatt, Tyron Davenport, TJ Runky, stuff like that, or JT sorry, flip that, scratch it, reverse it. But whether it be practice reports, whether it be anecdotal stuff throughout the week that we hear

Starting point is 00:13:42 about the rookie weapons, They all continue to impress. I mean Xavier Restrepo first and foremost, I again, just like I said last week, I again, there's no way Xavier Restrepo isn't making this team. I'm sorry, it just, it can't make sense. There's no way it makes too much sense. It's too logical. It has to work out. We need it. We need it to work out but regardless of that Our feelings our hopes our wishes our headcanon The Titans need him the Titans needs every strepo they need a player like that They've needed a player like that since Adam Humphreys and Kyle Phillips

Starting point is 00:14:25 They need a player like that. They've needed a player like that since Adam Humphries and Kyle Phillips. He is the Kyle Phillips that we needed, the Mason Kinsey that we all wanted to be. You know what I mean? Like, not that we wanted to be, okay? Not that we wanted to be ourselves. But, although I would love to have lived Mason Kinsey's life up to this point being NFL, you know what I mean? Like realistically with perspective Mason Kinsey's had a great time. I would imagine playing in the NFL, even if you're not a pure starter 53, but regardless, Xavier Ostrepo is that guy who actually can be good enough to make the team that we don't have to argue about whether he should be on the team or whether he's out there like he can be that. And the fact that he led the team in catches two days

Starting point is 00:15:05 out of the three he had six catches on one day had three catches on another day like the fact that Xavier Ostrepo continues to be productive in these scenarios just continues to prove the point that this is a guy who should be on the team and it's not just him and Cam Ward it's not just oh he's Cam Ward's buddy that's why you say that that's why on the team and it's not just him and Cam Ward. It's not just oh he's Cam Ward's buddy That's why you say that that's why you think that but it's way bigger than that It's more than that and you know how we know because I remember on that six catch day It wasn't just six catches from Cam Ward All the other quarterbacks have found Xavier Restrepo throughout the process

Starting point is 00:15:45 All the other quarterbacks have found Xavier Restrepo throughout the process, including Cam Ward. So not only does Cam Ward have chemistry, but Xavier Restrepo is finding ways to get open in other scenarios, where it's not just Cam Ward forcing the ball to his buddy. Like, Brandon Allen found him a couple times, and Tim Boyle and Will Levis. Like, all of the quarterbacks have found a way to connect with Xavier Restrepo. You know why? Because he's open. Because he's open. And in these scenarios where, you know, short pass underneath, quick over the middle, that

Starting point is 00:16:15 is where he's going to excel. And that's exactly where they were finding him. So it's like proof of process in a way. You could call it. The thing that this guy was great at in college is the same thing that he's great at now and it's showing up again. So Xavier Restrepo is a massive winner here. Not only because, look, I can say that I don't see, I don't see an outcome where he doesn't

Starting point is 00:16:39 make this football team. But that doesn't mean that the coaches feel like that. He's still got to earn his roster spot. So the fact that he's doing it and showing it not only with Cam, but others, it's great news. That's what we wanted to see. It's not just a fever dream here. He can really play. Same thing with Ellic I.O. Manner. Multiple people at practice talking about Ellic I.O. Manner Multiple people at practice talking about Ellic Iow Manor. Showing up, contested catches, good route runner for a guy his size. He has so much that the Tennessee Titans need at wide receiver.

Starting point is 00:17:14 So much. So I love hearing that Iow Manor was making plays and showing up out there. I think, again, all of these rookie pass catchers are big winners because they are clearly the best wide receivers. Tyler Lockett didn't really participate most of the time. So you know that Calvin Ridley is awesome. Okay, we know that. Thousand yard receiver, top 30 wide receiver in the NFL. Calvin Ridley is a good player.

Starting point is 00:17:37 Probably top 25 wide receiver in the NFL. I think it's more fair. Any higher than that. We'll maybe have that conversation in a few weeks. But Chim Dike, versatility on display. You got Tite Tolbert talking about how, you know, these guys are grinding. Like, Tite Tolbert had, Titan's wide receiver coach, Tite Tolbert, had a great quote about how all of the young rookies have been coming in

Starting point is 00:18:06 and doing film study and how they're all so prepared. He said, quote, I mean, they're up here all the time. They don't ever go home. They're up here studying with the quarterback early in the morning. They stay here late. So their knowledge of the game, understanding and learning day by day has enabled them to get open.

Starting point is 00:18:28 And I'm pleased with that. So not only are these guys the most talented guys, but they're prepared. They're ready. They're working. That's exactly what you want to hear. Big time winners of mandatory mini camp are the pass catchers and outside of the three wide receivers Gunnar Helm, Luke Stalker had some comments, Titans tight end coach. Isn't it crazy to say that Luke Stalker, Titans tight end coach. But Stalker talked about how Gunnar Helm shows up every single day. Like he makes some plays and shows up every single day. He had one really good day, but he just continues to make plays. I think I saw somebody say like the Titans are going to have a hard time keeping Gunnar Helm off the field. Like, and that's why I have predicted since the moment that Gunnar Helm was drafted, that he will be tight end one this year.

Starting point is 00:19:15 He will take the most snaps of any tight end this year. That is my prediction Gunnar Helm. So also want to mention some of these guys who aren't rookies, but are pass catchers who did show up. Bryce Oliver, three touchdown day on red zone day the last third day. And the coaches even said before practice, like, hey, Bryce Oliver hasn't made a lot of noise out here. He hasn't got a ton of targets. But we know what Bryce Oliver can do.

Starting point is 00:19:40 Like, and then he comes out on the third day and has three touchdowns. And Tyke Tolbert's like telling Teron Davenport, see, I told you, like I told you, you know what I mean? Like as he's leaving practice, it's crazy. So shout out Bryce Oliver, second year player showed some stuff last year. The Titans need all the help that they can get. So let's do it. David Martin Robinson at Titan, David Martin Robinson at Titan. The Titans kept five tight ends last year on the roster and I was like, why are they doing that? And then they had David Martin Robinson

Starting point is 00:20:08 and Thomas Soda-Coyer inactive a whole bunch at the beginning of the season. And it's like, what are we doing? Why do we keep five tight ends on the roster if we're only taking three to game day? Well, David Martin, this is why. Because David Martin Robinson has been making plays. He's a great backup to Chigga Conquo.

Starting point is 00:20:24 And quite frankly, if the Titans wanted to potentially trade Chigga Conquo in the final year of his contract, because they want to go with more Gunnar Helm, and they want to go with more Josh Wiley, and they want to go with David Martin Robinson as their move tight end, I think that David Martin Robinson having a pretty decent mandatory mini camp might make that easier. I don't think they're going to do that. I'm just saying you got to look at the options here of what moves they could make. And that's one of them.

Starting point is 00:20:54 Van Jefferson also deserves some credit. Fast, big, versatile, literally can play all the different spots this early. Really smart guy. That's critical for the Titans have that versatility and that size and that speed because they need as much speed as they can get on The field so if they have a bunch of speed guys like a Chim D.K. Like a Calvin Ridley like a Van Jefferson Who they can all put out there at once? That's gonna be critical. Do you got to give some love to the trenches? All right, there's some love that is needed for the trenches we're

Starting point is 00:21:25 going to do that now on offense and on defense. Titans fans, let's cap off today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast. We're going over my winners from mandatory mini camp for the Tennessee Titans. We've talked about the quarterbacks. We've talked about the pass catchers. Now we need to get a little physical. Talk about the offensive line and the defensive side of the ball and my winners there. As a reminder tomorrow I'm gonna be doing my losers for mandatory mini camp who did not have the best three days. We're gonna talk about that on tomorrow's show. Do want to thank

Starting point is 00:22:16 you again for making Locked on Titans your first listen. For your second listen check out Locked on NFL scouting. As training camp gets closer and moves are being made, host Kyle Krabs and Joe Marino will make you the most informed NFL fan this off season. Find Locked On NFL Scouting on YouTube or wherever you listen to podcasts. All right, gotta start with the offensive line.

Starting point is 00:22:39 Two big winners of mandatory mini camp on the offensive line. To me, number one, J.C. Latham. Nick Holtz, Titans offensive coordinator coordinator came out on day two and said, JC Latham has been our best offensive lineman in the all season program. Been our best offensive lineman this off season. The way he is moving, the explosion that he's moving with right now after losing 20 some pounds. He looks incredible. JC Latham should have an absolutely monster year.

Starting point is 00:23:11 Big winner of the mandatory minicamp process just with, you know, the shape that he showed up in the comments about his off season so far love hearing that. And then Corey Levin, Corey Levin was drafted by the Titans, I think, in the sixth or seventh round in 2017. Thanks, Sean Robinson. He was with the Titans for a while, was with the Buccaneers for a little bit, I think maybe even the Patriots for a little bit, but has been back with the Titans for the last few years. And he's just gotten rave reviews being the starting center right now in place of Lloyd Cushionberry. Lloyd Cushionberry obviously coming back from the Achilles injury.

Starting point is 00:23:50 Corey Levin has been taking the first team center snaps. And he has just held the position down. And quite frankly, I'm pretty comfortable with Corey Levin at center. I'd like to see Jackson Slater continue to compete and maybe push him for that spot by the back half of the season. But, Corey, if Lloyd Cushinberry isn't ready to go to start the season or God forbid there's a setback or anything like that, I'm pretty comfortable with Corey Levin. Is he incredible? No. But is he going to be the reason that the offensive line completely falls apart week to week? Absolutely not. Absolutely not. He will not be. So it's good that the Titans have somebody stepping up into a spot that's a big question right now. And we'll talk about big

Starting point is 00:24:34 question marks going forward later this week. But moving away from the offensive line to the defense, Cody Barton, man. I talked about Cody Barton a ton on Friday show so I don't want to spend too much time here waxing poetic, but the change from Kenneth Murray to a more versatile player in Cody Barton and a more reliable player in Cody Barton and I love his infectious attitude. He's more of a vocal leader in my opinion and a better mentor and teacher to these younger guys. Having Cody Barton as kind of the heartbeat of the defense, He was a big time winner. He got two interceptions on Cam Ward. His mic'd up video was incredible watching him mentor David Benda, the undrafted free agent out of Texas. Just everything about Cody Barton right now, his

Starting point is 00:25:17 energy, the things he has to say, his performance on the field. Everything makes me so excited about moving Kenneth Murray out and Cody Bart in, but next to him is really where I want to spend some time because in my opinion what could be the single biggest winner, what could be the single biggest winner of Tennessee Titans mandatory mini-campus James Williams, the second year, seventh round, converted safety, inside linebacker for the Tennessee Titans next to Cody Barton. We know Cody Barton has played awesome, but the spot next to Cody Barton has been one of the biggest questions and conversation points around this team the entire off season. You had Otis Reese, you had Cedric Gray, you had James Williams, and to me, and based on

Starting point is 00:26:06 everything that we've heard and seen, James Williams is the guy who has taken the step forward and is the favorite right now. James Williams has been making plays over the middle of the field in coverage, which at his size and his speed, and if you go back to his college tape he would hit you. Like he was ferocious downfield and the thought was oh this guy can be a downhill linebacker in the mold of like a Kenneth Murray who's also oversized, good athlete, ferocious hitter. So James Williams can maybe mold himself in that mode but to hear about James Williams making plays in coverage over the middle of the field and 7 on 7 in team, and getting his hand on a pass, and generally just being in the right spot. Being a converted safety, but being a guy who was looked at as more of a physical linebacker,

Starting point is 00:26:56 if he can blend those two together, you truly have a 3 down linebacker that can blossom. And before mandatory minicamp and the offseason practices even kicked off off I had said I think James Williams will be the guy to ascend All right, I'm sorry, but I think so far Cedric Grey has been a major disappointment I think that people can't come out and say that directly because he's still a young player. He's going into his second year He got off to a bad start last year because the injuries but regardless of the reasons reasons, the excuses, the logic, whatever, Cedric Gray has been a disappointment. He was a, not top 100, but I mean just outside the 100, a high fourth round pick. He was expected to come in right away and make an impact and he has not, and honestly I think he's been jumped by a guy like James Williams, who I think is ahead of him

Starting point is 00:27:41 in the pecking order right now. And then you have Otis Reese, who had an opportunity to maybe make a statement and say, hey, I'm finally going to be a real player you can use on defense and not just a special teams guy. And he missed time. And I don't think he has taken that step forward. It's probably because he can't. So James Williams to me is one of the biggest winners, if not the biggest winner of mandatory minicamp for the Titans because not only did the other guys in

Starting point is 00:28:08 his competition not take that step forward, but he did and he did look like a player who was a step above those guys. So James Williams to me massive winner here of mandatory minicamp for the Titans. Also Femiola Degeot, Tevandre Swett, Jeffrey Simmons on the defensive front. Simmons just, it makes such a big impact on this team when he's around. You know, they need his presence there. So I'm glad that he was there not only making plays and had multiple sacks and disruptions at the line of scrimmage, but also his back and forths and his trash talk with Cam Ward, it just sets the perfect environment for the team. So love that. Tavandre Sweat, again batted passes, getting into the backfield,

Starting point is 00:28:54 everyone's talking about him taking a big jump in year two and the Titans need it for a top 40 pick in the draft. They need him to do more than what he did last year. Hey, first year or second year, that's the natural progression. Femi was such, such, such a point of impression. Is that a thing? I don't know if that makes any sense. He was very impressive. Let's put it that way. I mean, multiple days, Femi in the backfield making sex, Femi Oladagio getting pressure, not just on some of the lower depth chart guys, but on JC Latham, on Dan Moore. Like Femi Oladagio is making plays, dropping into coverage, taking away things from wide receivers.

Starting point is 00:29:32 Like there may not be a player who I'm more excited about, who turboed and just crescendoed my excitement for a player than Femi Oladejo from Mandatory Minicamp. Maybe that's something we'll talk about later in the week. It's guys that just have me way more excited for them going forward now. And I also want to spend some time in the secondary and just say Marcus Harris, the Titans sixth round pick, and Jamari Harris, the Titans undrafted free agent. A guy who could play on the inside, Marcus Harris, who's gotten some stamps on the outside, and Jamari Harris who's going to be more of an outside guy. Both of those guys have been impressive in camp and the Titans

Starting point is 00:30:09 cornerback spot. They be way, way much more of a concern now than we thought it was going to be two months ago.
