Daboll was quick to celebrate his players after big plays, and he didn&#8217;t hide his emotions when plays just missed either.<\/p>\n<p>-Defensive Joshua Williams got my attention with one defensive play.<\/p>\n<p>-Chimere Dike, Courtney Jackson, Carnell Tate and Hank Beatty were among those fielding punts during a special teams period.<\/p>\n<p>-New Titans analyst Ramon Foster was at practice, and so was former Titans tackle Brad Hopkins, who will be one of the sideline reporters this fall.<\/p>\n<p>-These OTAs are voluntary, so I&#8217;m not keeping attendance. Some guys are recovering from injuries, and others have personal business to take care of. In addition to Trubisky, I didn&#8217;t see Calvin Ridley, Jeffery Simmons or Elic Ayomanor, and I didn&#8217;t see John Franklin-Myers or Cor&#8217;Dale Flott either on Thursday. There were others not spotted as well. I saw Femi Oladejo from a distance, but he wasn&#8217;t practicing. But again, these are voluntary workouts, and some guys have been in and out. These are just some of the guys who weren&#8217;t on the field today, so they didn&#8217;t make observations.<\/p>\n<p>-The Titans will be back on the field for three more OTA practices next week, with next Friday&#8217;s session open to reporters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"-Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll gets pretty emotional in these practices.
