Karl Klug on Fighting for a Roster Spot Every Year & Life After Football | Titans Uncut Ep. 4

Two weeks ago Delanie named him the toughest matchup in practice — this week, Karl Klug pulls up a chair. The fifth-rounder from Iowa who was discovered at a speed camp, got his first college call from Gus Bradley, put up seven sacks as a rookie, and fought for his roster spot every single year. Plus working construction in 2026, the year he was sure he was getting cut, grading Delanie 1-to-10, Coach Watterson's kettlebells, a first look inside New Nissan Stadium's locker room, and a new round of Tell 'Em Unk.

Head coach Robert Saleh joins Taylor Zarzour to break down the trip to New York — the dominant second half, standing behind Cam Ward, how halftime adjustments actually work, Jeffery Simmons spoiling everyone, and the Top Play: Keldric Faulk becoming the youngest player in the NFL with a sack. Then Jim Wyatt on the fine margins and Simmons' place among Titans greats, and Rhett Bryan with the view from the booth, the keys to containing Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, and a look around a chaotic NFL.

Last week Delanie called him the most underrated Titan of his era — this week, Craig "Cat" Stevens joins the show. The soccer kid from San Pedro who tried out for football just to use the coach's phone, blocking for Chris Johnson's 2,000-yard season, the tight end room brotherhood, his brother's fight with ALS alongside Tim Shaw and CJ2K, remembering Mike Heimerdinger, the woodworking business, and the emotional story of walking away from the game at 31 — told by both men who lived it.

Head coach Robert Saleh joins Taylor Zarzour with a candid review of the Eagles game — the play call he wants back, the second-half defense, Jeffery Simmons playing at a "Defensive MVP" level, and breaking down Amani Hooker's 90-yard interception return. Then Elic Ayomanor walks through the hurdle heard 'round Nashville, his year-two jump, and the Tim Shaw message that means the most. Plus Jim Wyatt and Rhett Bryan on the progress, the stats, and a trip to face the Giants.

This week, the show turns to its host. Delanie Walker sits down with Rhett Bryan and tells his story like he never has before betting on himself to leave San Francisco, the Super Bowl performance that changed how the league saw him, the heartbreaking loss of his aunt and uncle that same night and his work with Mothers Against Drunk Driving, growing into a four-time Titans captain, and the first full telling of the night his leg broke in the longest game in NFL history. New episodes of Titans Uncut every week on the Titans Podcast Network.

Head coach Robert Saleh joins Taylor Zarzour in the studio as the Titans turn the page to Eagles week — why he treats every Monday the same, Anthony Hill's 16-tackle debut and where the rookie goes from here, Cam Ward's growth and the value of stability, and breaking down the touchdown throw to Elic Ayomanor. Then Jim Wyatt on Carnell Tate's first game and the fumble that wasn't, plus Rhett Bryan with a look around the league, the AFC South, and the new voices on Titans Radio.

Delanie Walker launches Titans Uncut with the perfect first guests — his former teammates Will Compton and Taylor Lewan of Bussin' With The Boys. The guys get into their wild recruiting stories, Lewan's dad refusing to let him quit football, why opposing coaches called Delanie the best tight end in the league, the case for 82 in the Ring of Honor, and the true origin story of the bus that started it all.

It's officially game week! Titans head coach Robert Saleh joins The OTP to preview the Week 1 matchup against his former team, the New York Jets, discuss the Titans' young roster, emerging leaders and his mindset entering the regular season. Plus, GM Mike Borgonzi breaks down the final 53-man roster, the Titans' young talent and the identity they're building for 2026.
