Now let's chatt!

We'll be right back.

You're watching let's chatt chip chapman >> full day here all across the midsouth just of course, continuing her maternit leave riding shotgun with us this morning.

It is the voice of the tennessee titans, mister mikey mike good morning jim, it's a pleasure to be with expert in yes sir, we always love having you here with us were hop right into it.

I got a whole list questions i want to get to of course everyone is wondering what's going to happen during the season.

Tell me mike outlooks for the nfl to open up training camp on time, which is july 28 were your thoughts.

I think at this point, my thoughts are very and the feeling is what were doing right now, even as we speak year and what is now the ears were starting to wants that we go through.

Normally, your chip where this is the week.

Actuall, we would be winding down, the players would be leaving what i why we pray.

A lot of the staff members would be taking three week vacation.

This is the only time of year this late june early july.

Where the nfl is actually all a little different.

The players will certainly not be here and that's the feeling that everybody has the only players eager to players rehabbing injuries and they are allowed to be with our coaching staff with our training staff, but i think they're using this period of time to start to ask what all has to happen for us to be ready to start training camp on july the 20 eighth and that means, how are you going to acclimate the lawyers how are you in a socially distance the players what the players work out, feed the players at our house.

The players doing training kits.

This time is being used to get ready.

All of that and i think all of us.

The staff with the titans and for every nfl club.

This is what we are seeing right now most different time it set of circumstances in terms of logistics that really any of us have seen in life in the nfl.

When you think about the report of the nfl shortening the preseason down for games to two.

Do you think that's going to happen.

It's entirely possible i started to see the report and it makes a lot of the pickers.

Let's start at this we are righ now just on three months away from the first weekend of nfl action the nfl season starts september 10.

That's what this leak using right now so everything is gonna be done in the next read my every part of it chip is about getting us to september 10.

If we take less preseason games, then that mean obviously to list games that needs one less trip that does give you a trip for every team throughout how your travel is obviously the plane is good to be different.

The hotels can be different than you will be different.

The buses are different, so gearing it back you take away an element that could make people very nervous and best to preseason games cut into one so you do have a run through this, but you take out those elements of danger that you would worry about because everything so the nfl is starting the regular season on time so if that is the case if we cut order to preseason games that makes total sense along the lines of just what i was talking about my first comment and the fact that we're we're just aiming the ones that we want opening weekend starting in kansas city on september tenth to happen the right way and i think that's been what is the best part of the plan that i have heard so far is they said was anything else we have to do differently.

We will do in order to get us to september 10.

That's the business that smart truthfully too.

I think that's what the fans the players the coaches the owners what everybody tell us what the players and the coaches are doing now to get ready for the scene with all of this pen to going on.

Obviously, everyone has a job to do, but nobodies doing their job the same way, did players and coaches.

Phylli and okay so the coaching staff has come back into the office a st.

Thomas park in are they are under a lot of restrictions right now.

We can 100 total staff members in our building and the majority of those football related directly.

Like for example broadcast, digital and social media depart went back in the office and right knee probably until everything is ready for us to come back.

It could be training camp before i return coaches back.

The front office people are back.

The training staff is back.

The equipment staff is back.

So again gearing towards the start of everything.

The people who are essential are in the coaches are meeting there also meeting virtually with the point we have had an off-season program, whic will end up blasting think it probably ends up going eight weeks where they have met on call microsoft team calls different route formats every day to play used to go through strategies to talk about workouts they should be doing and players in certain instances have started to gather on their own right-handed or back field media opportunity this week that he's come back to nashville and that he has started working out with some receivers here.

We're hearing about guys getting together all of the league so that's that's pretty good stuff right now to our leader ride and it will getting guys ready for the season, so they've been working out on their own.

Read on their own, but you can count on the fact that they been doin some work to get my head on with us for a moment.

We got a sale through this commercial break.

We are back with more with mike keith
