Jordan Elliott, Robert Saleh, and the Tennessee Titans are in the headlines for all the wrong reasons on today’s episode of Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich! Dan tackles the shocking incident in Nashville that led to defensive tackle Jordan Elliott being released after pulling a firearm in the facility parking lot—and head coach Robert Saleh’s unprecedented reaction. Following an altercation on the practice field with teammate JC Latham, Elliott walked to his car, retrieved a gun, and created a dangerous scene before defensive end John Franklin-Myers stepped in to de-escalate. Elliott was immediately cut for violating team rules regarding weapons on team property. But while the player is now looking for work, Titans head coach Robert Saleh surprised the sports world by refusing to kick him when he’s down. Saleh openly went to bat for Elliott’s character, framed the severe lapse in judgment as a potential cry for help, and told the other 31 NFL franchises to call him directly if they want a reliable, run-stopping defensive tackle. Dan Dakich breaks down the razor-thin line between holding athletes accountable for dangerous decisions and supporting young men when they hit rock bottom.
