I don't know. I guess when I heard that, anytime a leader is trying to rally a losing locker room and really speak for his team, you have to give him credit for standing up there with such a bad record. But to me, my thought was, who's got to answer that long about something you aren't? That was a long answer about the toughness of a team that stinks. And

Mike, that's a great point you make about the Tennessee Titans' identity of toughness. Not this team. That's the Mike Vrabel Titans. This is a whole new roster of guys. The guys that were on the team over the last few seasons, the ones that played in the AFC Championship game, those guys were tough. And they didn't have a lot of stars, right? They just had Derrick Henry.

At one point they had A.J. Brown. We all know where A.J. Brown is now. In fact, I actually saw A.J. Brown on Sunday night at the link after the Eagles took care of business against the Pittsburgh Steelers. And we were talking so much about that Tennessee team that he was on when he was a rookie, you know, where he really took off. He obviously spent a few years there.

And he said that he's like because I was asking him to compare. The difference between the Tennessee Titans and the Philadelphia Eagles. He's like, well, we just have a lot more talent here. But the toughness is what that team was made of.

So, look, I know what Brian Callahan's doing, which is protecting his guys who are going out there every single day, sacrificing their bodies, doing all the things that we know football players do. I just think he doesn't really have a pulse on really what is happening with that team, which is...

they don't look like they have a lot of direction and they don't look like they know what they're doing most of the time. And that's why I think this offseason is going to be a really big one for this Tennessee Titans team. I think they're sticking with Callahan. He has a lot of respect in that building. Players around the league respect Brian Callahan. He's a smart guy.

I just think this was a tough first year for him and he's going to have to learn a lot.

Yeah, Mike, I've talked to players all around the league that are on teams right now and they don't play hard. They'll admit that there's different levels of playing tough. Do they want to go out there and lose and get embarrassed? No. But there are certain teams where there isn't an accountability and expectation. that you're going to put everything on the line.

And there's different versions of it. So to just blanket it, Dan, as every person that plays in the NFL is playing tough at all times, I don't think that's accurate.
