Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the Locked on Titans podcast. I am your host, Tyler Rowland. Titans fans, it is a big day on the Locked on Titans podcast. I am very excited to start our deep dive on all of the draftees for the Tennessee Titans. And of course, we are going to start with Isaiah Wilson, the Titans first round pick tackle out of Georgia and in our first segment of the show we are going to do a little bit of background on Isaiah Wilson quickly go through some of his combine measurements and just get a general idea of where he came from what he was doing and then talk about how he fits into what the Titans want to do in the short term
Starting point is 00:00:46 and in the long term. So we will talk about his potential in both those windows to start off our show, but then we will jump into our Tic Tac Titans film breakdown. Very excited to share with you guys all of the things that I picked up from jumping in the film room, grinding the tape on Isaiah Wilson, watching a ton of Georgia Bulldog football, especially their offense. Of course, to see exactly where Isaiah Wilson is strong, where he is weak, where he needs some improvement, and I am going to share all of that with you guys today. Of course, as always with our Tic Tac Titans film breakdowns, I am going to be posting the visuals to go with our breakdown on my Twitter at Tic Tac Titans. You have to follow me on Twitter at Tic Tac Titans and check out this video breakdown that I have put together on Isaiah Wilson. Very proud of the way it turned out
Starting point is 00:01:45 and I'm sure you guys will enjoy that. So I'm going to take a little bit of a different approach with our Tic Tac Titans film breakdowns here for the near future rather than giving you play one, play two, play three and putting those plays in individual tweets. I'm going to cut up a whole entire video of all of the things that I'm seeing, all of the traits that I'm seeing on tape, and then just walk you through what I saw in totality in our podcast breakdown. So it is crucial that you follow me on Twitter at TicTacTitans to see those visual breakdowns and enjoy both parts of this content that I am putting out. So very excited to share that with you guys. And then I want to give you a little bit of a different aspect in our deep dive of Isaiah Wilson. I'm going to bring you just the sounds from his draft experience. There was a lot of
Starting point is 00:02:36 interviews done with him. We heard from Titans general manager John Robinson, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel. So I'm going to give you a 360 deep dive on Isaiah Wilson today, complete with a background, a projection of how he fits in the present and the future, what I saw from his college tape in our Tic Tac Titans film breakdown, and then hear from the Titans general manager, the Titans coach, and Isaiah Wilson himself in our third segment. So really excited to bring all of that to you guys. Of course, today's episode is brought to you by Built Bar.

So make sure that you're locked in to the Locked on Titans podcast for that content coming up. But we have to jump into our first deep dive of Isaiah Wilson. The Panda Express episode is here. Let's get it. The Titans had pro bowler Taylor LeJuan locked down at the left tackle spot for the foreseeable future and having just re-signed veteran backup tackle Dennis Kelly to presumably start at
Starting point is 00:04:11 the right tackle position, the Titans were not panicked for a tackle in the NFL draft, but a talent like Isaiah Wilson fell to the Titans and they had to take advantage. Wilson came out of Brooklyn, New York, which isn't necessarily a popular place for high school football recruits, but he was pulled down to the South to play in the most competitive college football conference in the Southeastern Conference at the University of Georgia. Wilson did redshirt his first year on campus, but was able to be a starter in his next two seasons. He started all 14 games at right tackle his freshman year on campus, but was able to be a starter in his next two seasons. He started all 14 games at right tackle his freshman year, earning freshman All-American honors and SEC
Starting point is 00:04:52 All-Freshman. And then in his sophomore season, despite playing through an ankle injury, he was only able to play in 11 games, but did start 10 of those. Wilson still made second team all-american so he was a decorated college player despite a short amount of time and part of the reason for that is his monstrous size at the combine Wilson weighed in at 350 pounds was six foot six 35 and a half inch arms and 10 and a quarter inch hands and that size is a big reason why in the present Isaiah Wilson could be a starter for the Titans you take that size and you combine it with his elite athleticism for a man that big he has incredible mobility and agility for a tackle that size and then you add in the nastiness that he displays in the finish that he displays in the run game and the Titans could have a day one starter who could beat out Dennis Kelly
Starting point is 00:05:52 in an offseason competition. One thing that we have to consider when talking about Wilson's potential in the short term is he will have a limited offseason that won't allow him to have a normal rookie mini camp normal rookie OTAs and possibly not even a normal training camp so that could set Wilson's development behind another thing to consider is that Wilson is only 21 years old having just turned 21 in February making him a very young NFL prospect but that does add to his potential in the future so whether or not Wilson is able to capitalize and take the starting right tackle position from day one the Titans are looking at potentially a decade-long starter at the right tackle position who could with the upside that he has athletically make multiple appearances in the
Starting point is 00:06:46 Pro Bowl so we talked about his size and that's something that you cannot teach at six foot six 350 pounds Wilson is a big man but it's not just that he is a big man it's the way that his weight is distributed he is not a very top heavy guy His weight isn't proportioned into specific areas. He is very well filled out. And one of the most tantalizing things about Wilson is that athleticism that we talked about and his ability to get up to the second level to get onto linebackers or members of the secondary. It adds an extra level of upside to his game.
Starting point is 00:07:22 And one would think with an NFL weightlifting program and an NFL conditioning and diet program and the age that we discussed earlier he could turn into an even better athlete and display even more mobility and agility as he grows into his adult body and then also considering that nastiness in the run, if there is the ability to pair that with an improvement in technique and balance in pass protection and in the run game, then the Titans, as mentioned before, could be looking at a decade-long starter that could make multiple appearances in the Pro Bowl. starts from day one or not, Wilson appears to have more upside than the recently departed Jack Conklin, who was also a first round pick at the right tackle position. Obviously, the Tennessee Titans as a franchise do have a history of pumping out pro bowl tackles, so it is possible that Wilson is in a perfect situation to reach his full potential. And if Isaiah Wilson wants to continue on the tradition of top offensive tackles for the Tennessee Titans
Starting point is 00:08:28 and reach his full potential, then he will have to put a spotlight on his strengths and weaknesses. And we are going to do exactly that as well. Next on the Locked On Titans podcast, we are going to jump into our first Tick-Tack Titans film breakdown from our Draft Deep Dive series. Very excited to bring this to you. I have been watching tape on Isaiah Wilson for quite some time now.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Jump into the film room with me. We will break down his strengths and weaknesses, the areas where he needs to improve, and how he fits perfectly into the Titans system on offense. Of course, as I mentioned before, follow me on Twitter at TicTacTitans so you can see this video breakdown that I have put together that I'm going to discuss with you next. It is excellent work and I know you guys will enjoy it and get excited about what Isaiah Wilson brings to the table. Before we jump into that Tic Tac Titans film breakdown, I do want to

Titans fans, let's step into the film room for another Tic Tac Titans film breakdown. Now our draft deep dive series on Isaiah Wilson. We will talk about him in the run game. We will talk about Isaiah Wilson in the pass game, where he excels, where he needs to improve.
Starting point is 00:12:26 I will cite some of the examples I do have in my visual breakdown that goes along with our audio one on today's show. Make sure you are following me at TicTacTitans on Twitter to check out the visuals that go along with our conversation that we are going to have now. But where we are going to start, before we jump into exactly what Isaiah Wilson can do and has done, we need to first set the scene and talk about what the Titans are looking to do on offense. So it's been well documented. I've talked about it quite a bit, and I'm sure that most of you know by now as well. The Titans run a zone running scheme on offense. So basically the point there is rather than having an assigned man in the run game, hey you block this guy, this is the man that you block, a man
Starting point is 00:13:20 scheme. They have a zone scheme where typically the offensive linemen will all take a step right when they fire off. They will take a step towards where the ball is going. And then the idea is they block the area in front of them. So rather than having one man who they are assigned to block, which is the more traditional way of running the football. You just have an area, a zone, if you will, in front of you that you need to take care of. It's almost like taking what defenses do where they have a gap that each person is responsible for in the run game and flipping that on its head to the offense where the offense essentially has a gap or a zone or an area where they're responsible for each
Starting point is 00:14:06 individual blocker. So that's what the Titans are looking to do. And when you have that sort of scheme, you need athletic offensive linemen because often what can happen is if your zone is not occupied by someone on the line of scrimmage, you'll have to work up to the linebackers. And to be able to get up to that level and deal with the speed and the agility of NFL linebackers, you have to yourself have some good mobility, some good athleticism as an offensive lineman. So that's why typically zone blocking schemes, those teams will put a premium on athletic offensive linemen. You see that with the zone blocking scheme that Mike Shanahan made famous in his offense that his son Kyle Shanahan now runs.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Sean McVay, Matt LaFleur brought that zone blocking scheme to Tennessee and obviously before him Mike Malarkey dabbled in a little bit of that as well. Also, it fits perfectly with what Derrick Henry likes to do as a runner. He likes to survey what's in front of him, pick which hole that he wants, get upfield, get north and south, as they would say. And then from there, you know, the rest is history with Derrick Henry. He gets up to full speed and no one's going to be able to bring him down or catch him for that matter so it it's exactly what the titans are looking to do is have offensive linemen who are athletic who can be nasty and once they get their hands on people absolutely destroy them but have
Starting point is 00:15:36 the athleticism to get up to the second level and compete against those linebackers and those members of the secondary and especially with more defensive backs and linebackers being faster and more like defensive backs nowadays in the NFL it makes even more sense that that's what the Titans would look for so now that we have that in mind and the type of player that the Titans would need as an offensive tackle Let's talk about what Isaiah Wilson does in the run game and why that fits. So I watched tons of hours of Isaiah Wilson and George's offense, and they do like to run a similar concept as the Titans with their run game in terms of a zone scheme. So often you'll see two different runs as the pillars of that scheme. That's the outside zone and then the inside zone. And it's pretty simple. Outside, you're looking to get the ball outside on the perimeter. Inside, you're in
Starting point is 00:16:31 between the tackles, in between the guards on the inside. It's fairly simple to understand. But let's just talk about what Isaiah Wilson does well. So first off, he has that athleticism to get up to the second level. He displays that in multiple different situations. And it's not just the athleticism to get up to the second level, but the power to help the person next to him. So a lot of time, what tackles will be tasked with with the zone is they'll fire out. And like I said at the beginning, everyone will take a step towards the side that the ball is going to, and the guard will typically have a defensive lineman on their outside shoulder, so the way that the run is going, and the guard will be tasked with, you know, getting in front of that person who in theory has an advantage on them because they're closer to where the run is going towards the
Starting point is 00:17:20 outside than the guard is, but the guard will have to take that first step, get in front of that defensive tackle, and it's kind of a tough task to ask for an interior offensive lineman. So a lot of the time, the offensive tackle will be asked to help a combo block where they'll initially help on that defensive tackle so that the guard can get in position and get in front, and then the tackle will climb up to the second level and get a linebacker who's flowing towards the ball well Isaiah Wilson does that fantastically he was asked to do that a lot at Georgia and he pulled it off quite a bit and for being so young and having some concerns about balance which I'll get more into he just did it so well I displayed that the the tape if you look specifically at the video
Starting point is 00:18:06 that I made you'll see that against Kentucky at the beginning of the video just absolute perfection from an offensive tackle in the outside zone but it's not just his ability in the outside zone if he does have someone on him in the line of scrimmage he is going to drive that man out of the hole he is going to kick that defensive end out of the hole. Think rather than the defensive tackle being over the guard and the tackle helping with that, he could have a defensive end right on him rather than on his outside shoulder with a tight end there to deal with that. If that's the case, then Isaiah Wilson has to kick out that defensive end and literally move that man multiple yards off the line of scrimmage to help set that edge for the
Starting point is 00:18:49 outside zone. Well, Isaiah Wilson's nastiness in the run game and his physical power being that size takes over at that moment in time. He doesn't have to rely on that athleticism. That power kicks in and he can drive defensive linemen off the line of scrimmage five yards, 10 yards away from where he started to set that edge and open up a huge hole right off his butt for the running back and think that'll be Derrick Henry or Darrington Evans going forward. Now, some other things that I noticed, not just climbing to the second level, getting a running
Starting point is 00:19:23 back off a combo block, not just driving a defensive end off the line of scrimmage and outside zone. Think about in the inside zone, when the ball is going in the middle, you need to keep your defender from crashing into the middle and allow that, you know, running back to get a head start through the hole. Well, Isaiah Wilson does this in just such a beautiful way for a man that big. It's absolutely incredible. And I showed some examples of that in the video as well. Look at the example in the Florida game.
Starting point is 00:19:55 And when I'm talking about run offense, also, there is a really good kick out in the Kentucky game. But then in the Tennessee game, we see another amazing rep where Isaiah Wilson, rather than looking to flow and get outside on an outside zone, he's actually taking that step that I talked about to the opposite direction, his inside shoulder towards the guard and getting in front of that defensive tackle that I talked about before. So the responsibility that we talked about the guard having where Isaiah Wilson would help him because it's so tough, Isaiah Wilson would essentially have that responsibility.
Starting point is 00:20:31 He has to take that step towards the run and somehow get his body in front of the defensive tackle on the backside. And then the running back is going to run right off his butt as the guard next to him climbs up to the second level. back is going to run right off his butt as the guard next to him climbs up to the second level well on multiple occasions not only did he seal that defensive tackle but he then got up to the second level on his own and hit a linebacker so just some absolutely fantastic work in the run game not only towards his side on strong side outside zone but also on the back side on inside zone so absolutely fantastic from Isaiah Wilson in the run
Starting point is 00:21:06 game and obviously he was highly touted as a road grader in the run game that's one of the reasons he was taken in the first round so no surprise to see such success on tape from that some areas of weakness that I noticed he doesn't have fantastic balance. So sometimes he can use that athleticism and mobility, and it's almost too much for him at his size with his balance at this moment in time. He doesn't keep his balance, so he gets on the ground a lot. I notice Wilson is just on the ground a little bit too much for my liking. And also when he's driving second-level defenders, he gets up to him, gets his hands on him. He'll push him the first initial three yards, but then he doesn't keep his balance.
Starting point is 00:21:50 He can lean forward, get off of his center of gravity, and then they can find their way around him. So he needs to be able to sustain blocks longer by staying more balanced. And I think with the nutrition program and the weightlifting program that he'll be on that should help him get even more athletic slim his body down even more at a more manageable weight and that'll help him keep his balance and as his technique improves as well his footwork as he's firing out off the line of scrimmage his footwork during his block I think all of those things will help him improve in that area in the run game and help him keep his balance so he can sustain his blocks even longer and drive guys back even
Starting point is 00:22:31 further than he's already doing transitioning into the passing game so first off he has improved a lot with his set that's something that I think he still needs to improve on is how he actually fires off the line of scrimmage setting his back foot so that he can keep his balance once again that's where we're at and I hate to start with needs improvement because we see a lot of great things in the passing game as well he has an excellent punch so he'll let the the defender the edge rusher get on him and once they're too close he has such power in his arms and such good arm length in his hands the power in his mitts and he'll push he just has imagine just waiting waiting
Starting point is 00:23:12 waiting and at the last second he will push and punch with his hand on the inside shoulder of the edge rusher and he's so strong it just completely throws them off kilter a lot of the times he'll just push them past the quarterback because they get to that certain point where it's make or break and he'll deliver that punch on their inside shoulder and it'll just push them past the quarterback allowing an easy step up for Jake Fromm in this specific circumstance so he does that so much on tape some guys there's a specific example against LSU where the edge rusher comes in and his punch is so devastating that it completely takes the LSU defender off course number nine in this example it is on the video that I've discussed in the video breakdown on my twitter at tic-tac-titans
Starting point is 00:23:57 and it is just absolutely breathtaking how he destroys this man in one-on-one pass protection one thing I can say is he does need to improve, and this is another balance issue. The inside spin move gives him fits. Now, I did include in the video a very good recovery on an inside spin move because it is something that he needs to improve upon. So I wanted to give an example of how he showed improvement later in the season. It's the game against LSU very late
Starting point is 00:24:26 in the season and he showed great improvement on recovering on that inside spin move but at the NFL level the guys are going to be even better at that and they're going to see that on film and know that that's one of his weaknesses so he's going to have to improve his balance so he can deal with that inside spin move but if he can get that initial punch on you and then keep his balance afterwards, he has the potential to be one of the better pass protectors at the right tackle position in the NFL, which kind of takes his upside above Jack Conklin. So that's where he excels in the run game.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Obviously spent a lot of time talking about him in the run game in the inside and outside zone, as that's exactly why he was drafted and what he's going to be asked to do talk about some of his flaws in pass protection that he needs to work on but also how he can excel in pass protection and use some of the physical gifts that he has and then continue to work on his technique that was the obvious thing about Isaiah Wilson coming out of the draft is the need to work on his technique in pass protection. And he talks about that himself. And speaking of that, in our next segment, what we are going to do is we are going to
Starting point is 00:25:30 hear from some of the key players in drafting Isaiah Wilson. Isaiah Wilson himself, and he's such an intelligent guy, well-spoken, just absolutely critical to be able to self-analyze. You know, like Mike Vrabel talks about in his press conference, he doesn't have to worry about motivating these guys or shouldn't have to worry about motivating these guys. These NFL players should be self-starters, and that's the type of guy that the Tennessee Titans are looking for specifically. So Isaiah Wilson displays that in his comments. Hopefully it's not just talk, and he can show that in the weight room, in the nutrition
Starting point is 00:26:09 area, and also in his film study and his technique work. So high hopes for Isaiah Wilson based on my film study. Hope you guys do check out that film breakdown that I put on Twitter at TicTacTitans. I don't see how you could take in today's episode and not go check that out by any means necessary. So really do appreciate everyone who does check that out and I'm sure you guys will enjoy it. But we will get into all of the different sounds from draft night here from Isaiah Wilson, head coach Mike Vrabel, and GM John Robinson next. we will continue our draft deep dive on isaiah wilson by hearing directly from isaiah wilson and also the people who made the decision on drafting him, head coach Mike Rabel and general manager John Robinson.
Starting point is 00:27:07 So first we are going to hear from Isaiah Wilson himself, and he is going to start off the conversation by talking about what about the Titans' style of football really appealed to him as a player. They beat people up in a run game, and that's something I love to do. I love being physical. I love being physical. I love making other people quit, and I can't wait to see how I can better myself in this organization and help this team win and be the best I can and really improve. And I think Wilson is obviously a perfect fit for that style.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Now, how would Wilson evaluate himself for Titans fans? Well, one, I have the thing you can't coach. I have a lot of size and long arms, a lot of athleticism, and it's definitely measurables I have that you can't find other places. But I think I'm physical. I think that's a part of my game. I have a big – I'm very physical. I enjoy being physical.
Starting point is 00:28:16 I enjoy blocking people from the floor, beating people up, making them quit. And I have a lot of gifts in a passing game that once are refined, I think I could elevate my game to a new level. As I mentioned really nice to hear a player have that detailed of an evaluation of themselves and also be able to point out some of their weaknesses as well so like hearing him be critical of himself and knowing exactly where he needs to improve. But what does Wilson remember about actually being drafted? Pretty much when they were on the clock, something in my heart kind of just told me that it was time.
Starting point is 00:28:57 I felt the tears already coming in. And when I got that phone call, I already had the number saved from a few interviews before. I was just ecstatic, man. I was really speechless. I was overcome with emotions for sure. It's been a really long time coming in. To just have your dreams come true like that and be blessed like that was a great thing for me. It appears Wilson was not surprised that he was
Starting point is 00:29:25 drafted by the Titans um yeah it's been a blessing all the way through um I felt I was a first rounder um all the way and as we just got lower and lower I mean I mean, I felt I had to go. And there wasn't any explicit talk about me being taken by Tennessee, but I just felt like I got along well with the coaches. I got along well with the GM, and I just feel great to be a part of the family. What did Wilson improve the most from high school to college? And what does he need to improve going from college to the NFL? I would definitely say technique.
Starting point is 00:30:15 I had to relearn a lot of technique from high school to college simply because in high school we weren't taught certain kick sets or how to carry your hands a certain way or anything of that nature. It was very different to what I got at a big-time SEC school. I came from a private school in Brooklyn, New York, a really small school, and we had great coaches for that environment, but they didn't necessarily coach the technique I was learning in college. So I would say picking up that technique was probably the biggest transition for me. I just want to do everything
Starting point is 00:30:58 I can to do right by the team, off the field and on the field, and improving on technique. Once again, just hand usage, pad level, just becoming more consistent, more polished in my technique. There's a lot of veteran guys on the O-line that I can learn a ton from, and I plan on taking everything from them that I can to better my game and elevate my game to the next level. And then, of course, where did the nickname panda come from uh my a running back i was with in training at exos gave me the nickname panda his name is dj dallas
Starting point is 00:31:33 plays at my he played at miami he's currently in the draft um and i was sitting down indian style waiting for like waiting for a drill we were doing acceleration drills to work on our 40 pre-combot. And I was just sitting down Indian style because I'm a big guy. It stretches out my hips. Just when gravity pulls on it, you don't really have to do anything. And he walked over.
Starting point is 00:31:58 He was like, you're just a big panda. And it stuck. Everyone kind of went with it. So I adopted the moniker and that's fine. I personally love the nickname and from here on out to me Isaiah Wilson is the Panda Express ready to blaze some holes for Derrick Henry to score many many touchdowns. Next we will hear from Titans general manager and head coach Mike Vrabel the guys who actually made the call to draft Isaiah Wilson, and what their thoughts were.
Starting point is 00:32:30 Yeah, I mean, I think he's a big man. I mean, at 6'6", 350, and almost 36-inch arms, he's a tough guy to get out of the way of. He's got excellent power to move the line of scrimmage in the run game. And he's tough to get around in the pass game. And, you know, I thought I saw some blocks at the highest level in the SEC where he gets up to level two and he forces linebackers. If he gets his paws on them, they're usually done for. But he certainly impacts the path that they take to the back.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Yeah, he'll compete at right tackle and plug in there. And, you know, him and Dennis will battle that out. And he's got some things he's got to work on, but, you know, really, really like the upside of this guy. Well, he walked into the room with a combine, Teresa, and he came – I came up to about his chest, and then I looked up, and I'm like, he turned sideways to get into the door at the dome. So, he is a big man, but he's well-proportioned.
Starting point is 00:33:38 You know, it's not like he's top-heavy or carries all his weight. I mean, he just – he's a massive player that we're excited to start working with as soon as we can. And sounds like that's going to be here at a rookie minicamp, a virtual rookie minicamp. Well, we all have to improve, Luke. I mean, we're not going to sit there and nitpick our entire roster, but that's our job as we start our offseason program on Monday.
Starting point is 00:34:07 It's going to start with a learning phase. We're going to get the rookies in here on May 8th, and that's going to start a whole new process for them. And, you know, we all can continue to improve. And he's going to learn things that he didn't learn at Georgia, and they're going to have done things differently. But we're excited to start working with him just from a skill set, from a size, from a length and from a power quotient and you know this guy he's a great teammate. He cares about his
