As the titans are ready to – probably – select Cam Ward with the overall choice n ° 1 Thursday evening, the franchise has someone with recent experience in the training of a quarter.
Tennessee head coach Brian Callahan noted his experience with Cincinnati and Joe Burrow at the press conference before Tuesday’s cog. Callahan was the offensive coordinator of Bengals when they selected Burrow in 2020, occupying the 2019-2023 position when he was hired to take up the titans.
“I think one of the things specific to my trip in this profession is that I have already done it,” said Callahan. “I was part of a young quarter-Arrière, n ° 1 in the general classification, entering a team that chose n ° 1 for a reason. We were not good enough last year, so we choose first, and we have a chance to add a very good player with the first global choice – anyone.
“But there are a lot of things I learned from this lesson when you bring a player like that that will help us in the process. So, I think we added the right players in the free agency. I think we have good young players here. We must do much better work work, first and foremost, and I felt in better positions. there.”
To this end, Callahan said he felt any additional pressure to make sure things go as planned with a global first choice like Ward.
“I think the old adage is that the pressure is a bit privileged,” said Callahan. “You are lucky enough to work with a great player when you choose it at the top of the project. If it happens to be a quarter -Arrière, it doesn’t change anything for me – how I go about my work, which I do on a daily basis, what I believe in the development of the position. None of these changes.
“It’s exciting. This is what you hope. This is what you want as a coach, these are these types of players on your list – you want to coach them, you want to be part of this trip. I had the chance to be part of some of them. It’s exciting, and therefore there is nothing to add to what is already work. It’s just part of this. And I am fully aware of waiting with that with it and I am excited.
