Mike Munchak: Brad Meester is a "real smart player"

Mike Munchak has described Brad Meester as a "real smart player" ahead of the final home game of his career.

The Jacksonville Jaguars center announced earlier this week that he will retire at the end of the 2013 NFL season after 14 seasons in the league.

Ahead of his team's game in Jacksonville, the Tennessee Titans head coach told reporters: "14 years in the league, I think he has played 200 games. That's a great accomplishment for him.

"That's not easy to do staying healthy year after year playing offensive line. I always thought he was a good football player. He plays hard, he's a guy that's always down by the pile.

"He's a real smart player, has that edge to him, knows how to play all the little tricks of the game, so I know they're going to miss him. It's great that he's going to walk out healthy for the most part, which is a good thing."

The Titans face the Jaguars at EverBank Field later today.
