Voice of the Titans Mike Keith Discusses Titans Positive Tests

And which jack, thank you again for joining us as new on this wednesday morning, without further ado, here is the voice of the tennessee and future tennessee radio hall of famer mister mike keith mind the morning good morning chip, it's good to be with you always good to spend a few minutes with you my friend.

To sum up the first few weeks of nfl season in one word from my perspective would have to be while you guys have in you a plan one day, seemingly an hour later that plan changes so wanted to find out from you exactly where the tennessee titans stand right now ... as of the poet right now and this upcoming sunday.

What is going on as to how much are things change ... well, the roots and read news that came out this morning and because of the news was released this morning.

I don't think were to be able to go back into our facility today and so i think problem.

What were hope for the white use the possibility of having no employers or staff test positive for coke at night the tomorrow and friday and then maybe the possibility that we could return to our facility friday practice friday and saturday and play buffalo one sunday but chip i think you jus could 10 used to be.

Everything is on the table and everything is up in the air right now it's the it's been a very, very toug 10 when you and i were talking earlier in the week you told me that not only are you not allowed to travel with him.

You have to travel independently.

You're also staying at an independent hotel when you thro ... and all thing has been numb quite different in the nfl.

Tie 1 is our people on the field players and coaches here to people work with the players and coaches directly and those those folks are tier 1 and tier 2 art tested daily.

I am what's calle tier 3, which means i cannot go into st.

Thomas sports park.

As i once could that where our offices are better trading facility.

I'm not allowed travel with the team.

I'm not allowed to eat with the team stay with the team of or have any contact with the team.

As far as doing interviews all of the interviews that i'm doing this year for our radio and tv programming would the virtual right or by or by phone and so at this point i'm totally up part from the ballclub, which is why when the news broke last week.

The staff member that is quoted at contract coronavirus.

I got lots of calls from friends and i said are you okay and i'm like yes i i'm okay and one of the reasons that i'm okay is because i am not part of the exact staff so well as far as i know i don't type and check toys about that's going okay that's a good that is a very good my wife approved that medicine now you're a lot wide, however, is that right no i'm working totally step lee and doing everything except you.

That's got to be different.

You been doing the titans now for better than 20 years and you essentially have the same formula while it's improved over the years never faced anything to this extent, correct no i haven't and i think it's like everybody else in the world right now is your having to put ourselves in a position where we understand that flexibility is the number one key.

I've learned a lot been working working from home here in been working from home for the majority of the last seven months i figured out how to that.

I can still repair for broad cast.

I could still get all of the information that i would get.

I am allowed to go to practice this.

Although i have stand further away than i and i did in the past.

Here's the thing chip as long as were getting deployed for all and in my case and doing call for all that's that's the blessing i am certainly not going to whine because the job is a little mor complicated this year because i was facing everybody's job is more complicated.

No doubt doctor alan sills is the nfl chief medical officer.

He lives down the road from franklin and he is been all over the news media saturating ... those of us who really care about what's going on with here are the items that we are taking into consideration here are the things that are most important to the nfl to the individual ballclub, and most importantly for the help of the players yet you're seeing some of the folks from teams primarily on the wes coast.

The seem to be flaunting these rules a little bit.

The titans are not ... no, the titans to varies sit in their adherence to the protocol and that when one more frustrating and about what has happened to the club because we've certainly come under a lo of attention and scrutiny nationally occurs.

This is happened to the titans first chip.

This was going to happen to someone short, i mean.

Unfortunately, if you look at the case numbers in our state.

Look at the case numbers in our country.

It was it was going to happen and all you can do is follow thanks the best you can.

And one thing that doctor sills region worst in the last few days to our lawyers are coaches and all of our staff said one has to was a bit every person you come in contact with is scolded possible.

That's that's where you will have to start so you got to make sure your mast is up, you better make sure you're washing your hands to make sure that your social distance if you will just think of everybody you come in contact with is being covert, positive, and respect their space and your own space that you will give yourself the best chance to stay covert, but the problem is if you do all those things get yourself the best chance to stay covert free, but it still happened like we are up against the clock.

Hopefully yo and i will have a chance to tal here over the next few days and i do want to talk to you about the buffalo game which is comin up this sunday right here on cbs.

Best of luck to the titans and just to underscore a point that you and i were talking about earlier in the week even coach were able is not had a whole lot of one-on-one, face-t- face time with some of the newe members of the team.

They're taking the coven precautions that seriously mikey, thanks very much you and i will talk a little bit later on in the day again.

One o'clock kickoff time right here on cbs with the tennessee
