They've been protecting tennesseean's for seventy 5 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,160 Speaker 1: five years. I'm Amy Wells. Welcome to the Titans Amy 6 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: Coach Mac podcast. Mac of course is here as well. Mac. 7 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: How you doing doing great? Amy just got through watching practice. 8 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: Everything's good? All right, Well, that's good. The Tennessee Titans 9 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: are coming off of a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. 10 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: That makes them seven and four this season, but they're 11 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: still three and oz in the division. And in just 12 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: pure comedy, if the playoffs started today, the Tennessee Titans 13 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: would be the number three seed and they would host 14 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: who the Cincinnati Bengals, because of course they would perfect 15 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: bring them back. So, of course there's still a lot 16 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 1: of football left to play, but it's fun to kind 17 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: of look at those things. Well, I mean, this is 18 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: the time of year when you start to look at 19 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: positioning because you put yourself in position, so you're not 20 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: doing anything way out in advance at looking at that 21 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: because that's important. I mean, we've got six weeks left 22 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: and we've got some AFC games left. You win games 23 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: in December. When you put yourself in a place to 24 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: win games to get to the playoffs, that helps you. 25 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: So you're in December football, as it is December one 26 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: as we record this, So December football is here, which 27 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: is really the greatest time of the year. I mean, 28 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: Christmas is delightful, but December football is really where it's 29 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: at well, because if you're in the National Football League, 30 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: this is this is when you try to get into 31 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: the tournament. I mean, you've got to put yourself in 32 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: position to get in a tournament early in the year. 33 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: But there's always always early in the year, you could 34 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: always say there's a lot of game left, we've got time, 35 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: We've got time starting to squeeze now. And plus at 36 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: this time of year, I know I'm not telling our 37 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: listeners are two million listeners anything, they don't know, but 38 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: this time of year you's usually got you know, quite 39 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: a few people nicked up, so you're not playing at 40 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: full strength. Nobody is. Some people are more at full 41 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: strength than others. But like the Titans, you're trying to 42 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: patch it together right now, for some important games down 43 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: the stretch. Yep, the Titans do have a lot of 44 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: important games coming up, including the one this coming Sunday. 45 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: They are going on the road to take on the 46 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles in Philadelphia, and of course I want to 47 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: get into that and talk all about that matchup. But 48 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: before we do, I want to answer a few questions 49 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: that I have received from people following the Bengals game. Okay, 50 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: before we completely put it in the rear view mirror, 51 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: I want to kind of clear up something. So I 52 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: have lined out listed out, I guess is a better 53 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: way to say it. The questions that I've gotten the 54 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: most frequently in the last say week. Okay, and Mac, 55 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to have you answered them, right, I'll try, 56 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: all right. Question number one, explain the penalty on the 57 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: field goal attempt that ended the game? What happened there? 58 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: You cannot. The league has put the rule in several years. 59 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: Back used to be you could just maul a center 60 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 1: on punts and kickoffs, and in fact, that was a 61 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: strategy to try to the center has got his head 62 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: down looking between his legs and used to could crush him. 63 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: Try to crush him either create a bad snap or 64 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: create a gap in the coverage. If you'll notice now 65 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: on all coverage it's a center is the first guy 66 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: down the field because you can't hit him. You can't. 67 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: You can't hit him anymore. Now on field goals you cannot, 68 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: and on punts you cannot line up on the center. 69 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: You can't line up on him. And at the snap 70 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: of the ball, you cannot contact his head or neck 71 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: area because his head's down, he's looking between his legs 72 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: and he's vulnerable. And so that is a clear and 73 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: distinct rule. Everybody knows it, and that's exactly what happened. 74 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: It was the correct call. So question number two, while 75 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: we're talking about special teams, will say, how did kicker 76 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: Caleb Shodac perform against the Bengals. It was a really 77 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: windy day. What did you think of his perform I 78 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: thought it was fine. I thought it was good. The 79 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: one that he missed. You were down there on the field. 80 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: You were giving us to Amy Wells weather report during 81 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: the game. Down there and it was windy and the 82 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: wind was blowing from his left to his right. The 83 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: official under the one goal post where the ball started 84 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: out started to walk out and raise his hands that's 85 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: why Mike Keith thought it was good, right, but then 86 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: the other one on the other side, and because the 87 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: wind caught it when it got up in the air 88 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: and blew it completely right. I thought he did. I 89 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: thought he did fine. Yeah, that wind was. It was 90 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: a tricky wind because it was kind of coming from 91 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: two different directions. So on that specific field goal attempt 92 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: when he kicked the ball, there was no wind when 93 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: he left his foot, and then a breeze just came 94 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: through and pushed it to the side. At one point 95 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: during that game, sideline report from sideline reporter Amy Wells 96 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: was like this, Mike Keith said, Amy, where's the wind 97 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: going from? And you said southwest? And then reet Brian 98 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: went northeast, and it both were right. It did that mean? 99 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: It was swirling like that that fast? I even drew. 100 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: I don't have my notes with me, but when I 101 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: got down to the field, the first thing I did 102 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: was draw a compass on my notes so that I 103 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: could orient myself and I would know when Mike asked 104 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: me which way it was coming from. Sure, I mean, 105 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: you're always spot on with it, but that was a 106 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: swirling wind, which happens because the way that that stadium 107 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: is configured. Yeah, it was. It was crazy. It was 108 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: one of the windier games that I've been a part 109 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: of that Nissan Stadium. Well, they were gusting too. It 110 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: wasn't just a steady win that you sometimes you can 111 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: judge and play the win, like with your golf shot, 112 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: but when it's erratic like that and switching back and forth, 113 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: that's hard. Yeah, it was. It was a tough day. 114 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: So glad Caleb shoot Act was able to to have 115 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: a decent day for his first day kicking at Nissan Stadium. 116 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: He'd never done that before. Well, I mean he was fine. Yeah, 117 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: he had a decent data. That's why. All right, question 118 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: number three, how much of an impact did the absence 119 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: of Ben Jones in the offensive line have on the 120 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: run game and what Derrick Henry was able to do? Well, 121 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: it does because he's the center of it and he's 122 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: got masked to him and you can move. You look 123 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: your center guard triangle. On any type of run, whether 124 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: you're running pin and pull or whether you're running zone schemes, 125 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: the center is vital because on the zone schemes he's 126 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: dubling with either guard on the pin and pull, he's 127 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: got to be the main blockback guy if you're going 128 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: to pull a guard behind him or pull a tackle 129 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: behind him. So look, he's our starting centers, one of 130 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: the better players on the team. When you're missing your 131 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: good players, take this note from coach Mack. When you 132 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: miss your good players, you got a problem. Yeah that's 133 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: a good note. It's it's true note. Take it from me. Well, 134 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: speaking of good players, Question number four here is what 135 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: is your evaluation of Trailing Burke's and how he has 136 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: grown and evolved this season. I thought I thought he 137 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: was on a great trajectory before he got the turf 138 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: toe at Indianapolis that set him back little bit. I 139 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: think since he's come back, he has started to pick 140 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: up right where he was. This is a big, strong, 141 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: powerful athlete. We could see what he could do. The 142 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: combat catch that he made in the in the Bengals 143 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: game was as nice as there is. Plus the tremendous 144 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: effort that he made to recover the ball that was 145 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: fumbled by Derrick Henry after a seventy one yard screen run, 146 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: you know for the touchdown. This guy is all in 147 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: and so I'm all about Trailing Burke's. Question number five, 148 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: how can the Titans defense, specifically the secondary contain explosive 149 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: plays going forward. That's not something they did such a 150 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: great job with against the Bengals. Well yeah, let's let's say, 151 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: let's just get this straight. Explosive plays never went over 152 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: their head. They were contested combat catches. There was nobody 153 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: running free. There was no free access. And so when 154 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: you contest a combat catch like you know, like the 155 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: one t Higgins caught down there at that pyline, that 156 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: was a contested catch, just a bigger receiver came down 157 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: with it. So that to me, those types of explosive 158 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: plays that are contested don't bother me at all. It's 159 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: the ones that are free released, free access, people running 160 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: wide open coverage bus those types of things. That's what 161 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: bothers you as a coach. Contested catches, that's within the competition. 162 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: You know you're gonna win some, you're gonna lose some. 163 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: So I don't have a problem with any of that. 164 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: All right, here's my final question from the people, more 165 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: or less sure. I love questions from the people. Yeah, 166 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: I thought you might like to do this little game instead. 167 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: Question number six, how do the Titans continue to try 168 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: and fill the void left by Denico Autry as he 169 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: continues to recover from a knee injury suffered in Green Vegas. Well, 170 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: it's hard. It's hard without Dniko because we've we've been 171 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: missing let's stay at this. We've missed Harold Landry all year. 172 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: We made up for that, you know, other people. Then 173 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: we missed Bud Dupree for a while. We're able to 174 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: make up with that because Big Jeff is still rolling in. 175 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,719 Speaker 1: We got Denico next to him. Now Big Jeff is 176 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: not playing at one hundred percent right now, Danico out 177 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: of the ball game. And so you only you reach, 178 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: you reach a level of saturation as to where you 179 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: start losing your frontline players. De Nico Autry is one 180 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: of the more valuable defensive players on this team. First 181 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: of all, because he's really good. He's a violent player, 182 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: which I like, and that's good violence in the National 183 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: Football League playing defense. The other thing is is he 184 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: so versatile because he plays inside, he plays outside, he 185 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: can stand up, he can match up. So you ask 186 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: me how much missing him is, It's a lot, because 187 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: he does a lot. So now it's time to turn 188 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: the page. Well, yeah, I mean you look, you got 189 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 1: to play with who's healthy and who can play. I mean, 190 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: how many years our coach in the league thirty one years? 191 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: Guess how manet? No, I'm telling guess how many Guess 192 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: how many people felt sorry for me when I was 193 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: missing players? None? Close, your guys, tell me what you see, 194 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: That's how many of them did. None. Yeah, well, okay, 195 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 1: that's life. Yeah, that is life. And the Titans have 196 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: had to deal with that life pretty much all season 197 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: this year. It's just the luck of the draw sometimes. 198 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: But now they're getting ready to head to Philadelphia and 199 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: they're taking on the ten and one Eagles, who are 200 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: remarkably healthy. And before we really dive into that, I 201 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: had the opportunity. I had the opportunity to have a 202 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 1: little conversation with Kevin Byard. He is from Philadelphia, and 203 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: so I wanted to talk to him about being from 204 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: Philly and also getting ready to face a relatively unfamiliar player, 205 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: Kevin Byrd. The Titans defense has shown up week after 206 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: week and has continued to be one of the bright 207 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: spots of this Titans team. What do you attribute that 208 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: too at this point in the season. I mean, I 209 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: think as a defense. No, obviously, we love playing together. 210 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: We have a really great time. We're all just trying 211 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: to be successful. We want to go out there and 212 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: when we want to dominate, and I think it's tough 213 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: mentality to have him on defense. Guys want to go 214 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: out there hunt, get the ball, want to get off 215 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: the field on third downs, one just go out there 216 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: and make plays. So then also we're just very resilient. 217 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: We're just a team that wants to keep fighting and 218 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: keep fighting no matter where the referee spot the ball, 219 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna go out there and make plays. So as 220 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: long as we continue to do that, I think we'll 221 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: continue to be successful on defense. In the secondary, you 222 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: guys have overcome a lot of adversity, especially when it 223 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: comes to personnel and the guys that have been available 224 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: due to injuries and things of that nature. As you 225 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: start to get guys healthy again and back on the field, 226 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 1: are you excited about the depth that provides you as 227 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: the season goes on. Absolutely. I mean we've always been 228 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: a next man up mentality defense, and obviously when guys 229 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: go down something that you don't want to see. Some 230 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: of the younger guys and guys that we sometimes we 231 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 1: just sign the same week that they play in the 232 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: game and do a great job coming in prepared answering questions. 233 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,719 Speaker 1: Because we're going to retreat backups like starters, they have 234 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 1: to prepare like a starter. And so once we start 235 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: getting everybody healthy, that depth is going to help as 236 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: big time as we get to this late just late 237 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: run stretch. Playing a team like the Philadelphia Eagles, not 238 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 1: a team that you see very often, how does that 239 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: change the way that you prepare for this matchup? Well, 240 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: I mean we're prepared to play the best team in 241 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: the league. I mean they're ten and one for reason. 242 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: They do a lot of great things, especially on offense 243 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: with a guy like Jalen Hursts is playing at the 244 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: MVP level, have a really great running back in Miles 245 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: Sanders who was gonna get over a thousand yards this year, 246 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: and obviously our guy A. J. Brown is up there 247 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: with some other guys DeVante Smith, so dangerous weapons all 248 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: over the field. We had to play our best football 249 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: to go out there and get a W in Philadelphia. 250 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: Good to see AJ Brown, but also gonna be a 251 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: lot of fun to go up against him. Yeah, it's 252 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: gonna be excellent. Obviously AJ is my guy. We know 253 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: what kind of dangerous player he is when he gets 254 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: the ball in his hands. We'll probably do a little 255 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: bit of trash talking out there, but you know, I'll 256 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: chop it up with him pregame in post games. So 257 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: it would be good to see him, but obviously he 258 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: don't want to have don't want him to have a 259 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: good game against us. Jalen Hurts is a guy that 260 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: can extend plays in so many different ways. What do 261 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: you guys have to do to contain him? Yeah, we 262 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: have to play discipline, especially with you know, our rush 263 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: lanes when rushing the passer. He's a guy that can 264 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: really stretch the defense, not only with his arm, but 265 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 1: obviously with his run game. When he gets the ball 266 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: open field, he's like a running backs who have to 267 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: treat him like a running back. So just being disciplined, 268 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: playing with good fundamentals, and making sure he don't break 269 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: those long runs like he did against Green Bay, having 270 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: over a hundred rushing yards in the first in the 271 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: first quarter. Now, you're a guy from the Philly area, 272 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: Titans don't get to play there very often. How excited 273 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: are you to be going back home? I'm super excited. 274 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: Twenty nineteen, we went up there, in the preseason, but 275 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: this time it's my first time I ever playing in 276 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: that stadium in the regular season game. That fans are rowdy. 277 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: I'm expecting the electric crowd, great environment. It's gonna be 278 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: good to see a lot of my family up there. 279 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: I got a whole bunch of ticket requests, so we 280 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: should be packed out in Philadelphia. Your family's big Philly fans. 281 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: Do they cheer for you? Do they cheer for Philly? 282 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: How do you work that out? So that's the funny 283 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: thing about it. I wouldn't I wouldn't be shocked if 284 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: half and half has on Buyer jersey and the other 285 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: half has Eagles jerseys. Philly fans are very loyal to 286 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: their team. Obviously they're rooting me on, but I guarantee 287 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: they're still gonna be rooting for Philly. So well, I'm 288 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: gonna have to have some words on them after the game. 289 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: But it's just what it is. I kind of understand 290 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: and expected. But at the end of the day, we 291 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: go up there and getting I'll be talking a lot 292 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: of trash in that post game locker room. Thanks Kevin, 293 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: He says that his family will not be rooting for him, 294 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,599 Speaker 1: they will be rooting for the Eagles. What have you 295 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: ever been to Philly to play a game? I have, 296 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: But like, let me just say this, blood should be 297 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: thicker than fandom. Let me just say this. Have you 298 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: gone in on the team bus? You always do, right, 299 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: you know, going into most places people are tailgating and 300 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: some of them may be throwing the football around, playing catch, 301 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: having fun. Some give you some hand signals that aren't nice, 302 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: you know. But all in all, when you go to Philly, 303 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: they're playing tackle football in the parking lot. So that's 304 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: how die hard they are there. So it doesn't surprise me. Yeah, 305 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: I just I mean, the man gets you tickets to 306 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: the game. At least you can do is like throw 307 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: on a blue T shirt, you know what. And Kevin Byard, 308 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: of course, I mean, just you know what a stud 309 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: he is in a lot of different areas. He's a 310 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: better man than I am. Because you know, when I 311 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: was coaching and we would go back because I'm from Texas, 312 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: you know, to go back to play the Cowboys if 313 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: people were wanted to wear Cowboys stuff, no tickets. See 314 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: that's how I am. Yeah, And I guess that makes 315 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: me a little mean, I guess, But well, you and 316 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: I both are mean. That's fine. That's why we have 317 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: a podcast together. Y's right, Titans Amy and Coach mcmana. 318 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: And that's why your name's first. Is your meaner? All right? 319 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: Speaking of mean, this Philadelphia Eagles team is kind of mean. Um, 320 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: let's break him down a little bit, and I guess 321 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: we have to start with Jalen Hurtz. This entire offense 322 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: runs through him and he's able to do so many 323 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: different things with his arms and his legs. Here's the 324 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: thing the Titans have seen running quarterbacks this season. What 325 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: makes him different? Well, that's a different offense. I mean, 326 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: this is an RPO offense, but it's really our RPO 327 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: because the run, the run, fake to to the running back. 328 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy has designed runs called for him 329 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: within that RPO system. The thing that has made him 330 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: so good this year, Amy, is he's matured as a passer. 331 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: And he's matured as a passer with his accuracy. He's 332 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,359 Speaker 1: also matured as a passer as far as to dispersing 333 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: of his receivers. He knows where they are now. When 334 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: he first came into the league, I mean, he was 335 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: a running quarterback. He was a running quarterback. This guy 336 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: is a tremendous athlete. He's one of the faster quarterbacks 337 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: in the league. I'm talking about just run, run, and 338 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: so what he's doing and the way that he's doing 339 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: and the weapons around him. We can talk about him 340 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: all we want to, but the offensive line that he 341 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: has in front of him is one of the better 342 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: offensive lines in the league, both in production and inconsistency. Well, 343 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: and because of that offensive line, he's even able to 344 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: do so much more right. Well, yeah, and the fact 345 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: is often an RPO system when he fakes, people are 346 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: up biting on the run, so he has more time 347 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: to throw. He's got good protection. The run draw with 348 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: him running or with him faking to a back is 349 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: such a heavy draw because what they run for last 350 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: week three hundred and twenty three yards Green Bay. That's 351 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: a lot of yards. The National Football League against the 352 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: National Football League team. This guy, this guy has got 353 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: He's got a good group around him. And that's but 354 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: he himself, Amy has improved so much technically as a quarterback. 355 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: He was always a great runner. Now he's a quarterback 356 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: and that's an issue. Well, it's an issue because he's 357 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: got a lot of people to do quarterback things with. 358 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: And I'm talking about those receivers. We obviously know what 359 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: a J. Brown can do, but he is not even 360 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 1: close to the only star receiver that the Eagles are 361 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: working with, Quez Watkins, DeVante Smith. I mean, those guys 362 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: are excellent. They run a lot eleven personnel, you know, 363 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: when they when they get into what they're wanting to do, 364 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: you know, with their tight ends. Their tight ends are 365 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: just are a part of it. But it's mostly the 366 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: running backs and the wide receivers and as you said, 367 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: and then when you play this quarterback like he is 368 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: the runner that he is and the call runs that 369 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: he has, you have to do. You have to do 370 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 1: what they call plus one on dfense. You have to 371 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 1: have somebody assigned to him because he is a major factor. 372 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: And it's not off scheduled runs. I mean, it's it's 373 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: scheduled runs. So you've got to plus one from your defense. 374 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 1: You've got to play very very concise defense, and you've 375 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: got to be very disciplined when you play this type 376 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: of offense, and you've got to understand where you want 377 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: to make these runs funnel. You can't just have say, okay, 378 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: well he's going to go inside or outside and we'll 379 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: chase him. You got to funnel it one way or 380 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: the other depending on your defensive call and everybody. It's 381 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: like playing it's like playing the wishbone back in the 382 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: old days. You've got to be disciplined to play this 383 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: type of offense. Let's talk about their defense a little bit, 384 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: because they have a plus thirteen turnover ratio. That's big. 385 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: Tell me what that means. Describe that or explain that 386 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: to our listener. But they're taking the ball away thirteen 387 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: more times are giving it up, which is huge. You know, 388 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: you talk about plus thirteen at this stage in the game. 389 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: That's that's really big, and especially with an offense is exploited. 390 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: Their offense is scoring nearly twenty eight points a game. 391 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: So with an offense that's scoring like that, you give 392 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: them extra series, which plus thirteen gives you extra series. 393 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: I mean, that's this team is ten and one for 394 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 1: a reason. You don't even have to know the numbers. 395 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 1: If you'll put on the tape and start looking at it, 396 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you go, they're good. But 397 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: because I mean you can see it, I mean they 398 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: are very they're a very complete football team defensively, you 399 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: know they run a fourty three. They'll run some three 400 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: four stuff, but forty three Brandon Graham and Josh Sweat 401 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: on the outside, those guys are really good defensive ends 402 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: in a four to three, really good. And then Fletcher Cox, 403 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: you know, one of the defensive tackles has been playing 404 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: for thirty six years. I mean he's a really really good, 405 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: still strong player in there. And then and then what 406 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: they what they have. They're linebackers. I really like Hassan 407 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: Reddick and t J. Edwards. And then you talk about 408 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,479 Speaker 1: their secondary being plus thirteen. They can go get the 409 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: ball with cornerback James Bradberry, Darius Slay. Josiah Scott is 410 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: one of the better nickel cornerbacks in the league. And 411 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: then you know, Marcus Epps is a really really good safety. 412 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: So Mac, Yeah, they're good on offense, they're good on defense. 413 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: That's how you win ten games? Well yeah, I mean 414 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: I've been on teams that have been ten and oh 415 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: in this league before in my career, and you know 416 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: how we were. We're good players, yeah, And that's how 417 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: you do it. So why do the Titans have a 418 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: chance of winning this? Because the only team playing them, 419 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: because the only team playing them every game is a 420 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: is a separate entity unto itself. And you've got to 421 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: you've got to practice, and you've got to get a 422 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: game plan together. But then you understand, and I think 423 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: our listeners understand too, they've been with us long enough. 424 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: They're moments in games where you've got a chance to 425 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: flip it where you've got a chance to flip it 426 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: to your side, or your opponents have a chance to 427 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: flip it to their side. You've got to negate their 428 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: moments and take advantage of yours. Every game is like that. 429 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: How does Mike Vrabel get his team ready to play 430 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: this game? Well, just just give them some keys and 431 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: go back to the basically what you gotta do. There 432 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: are no tricks in the night the football league. You know, 433 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: people think, oh, all right, well this week we're gonna trick. 434 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: There's no tricks. You're gonna have to win your one 435 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: on one matchups and then you can't turn the ball over. 436 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: If they're plus thirteen, don't let you don't let yourself 437 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: be a part of plus fourteen. Don't be a statista. 438 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: Don't be a stat you don't don't turn it over 439 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: to them, and then when you've got your moments to 440 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: take care of it. And the first thing you've got 441 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: to do is realize what they're looking at from last week, 442 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 1: correct those issues, know how they want to attack you, 443 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: and then get a plan of attack on your side 444 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 1: to counteract them. I mean, that's what you have to do. 445 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: And the only way you can do it is I mean, 446 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: and people get tired of hearing this, but look, believe me, 447 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: I've been involved over seven hundred NFL games. It's play 448 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: to play to play, to play to play, you can't 449 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: look ahead, and you really can't look behind play to play. 450 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: How do you remember so much about individual games? And 451 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 1: that this is completely separate, but it just popped into 452 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 1: my brain. How do you remember so much about each 453 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: individual game when you've been involved in seven hundred plus 454 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: NFL games because you're totally immersed in it when you're 455 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: doing it and getting ready for it. I mean, it's 456 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: branded in your brain because everyone look, when you're coaching, 457 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: you're I mean, you got a nice house, a nice car. 458 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: You know, you never see it, you never see it, 459 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: but everything you do depends on what happens in that game. 460 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: And so good or bad. You always remember you remember them, 461 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: remember them all. I mean, all somebody has to do 462 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: is just click me on one and I said, well, 463 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: here's what happened, you know, and or here's where we're 464 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: able to take it, or here's where it was taken 465 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: away from us. Because you're totally immersed in it. I mean, 466 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: it's not like you're just there watching it. I mean 467 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,959 Speaker 1: it's your livelihood, you know, and if you don't do 468 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: real well for a long time, then they take that 469 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: livelihood away from you. That's why I did it for 470 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 1: thirty one straight years. I've been very fortunate they never 471 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: took it away from me. That's a lot of games, Mac. Yeah, 472 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: it is it still. I mean what we got now 473 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: six years of broadcasting, that's even more. But the fact 474 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: that comes with that, you can't manufacture that type of experience, 475 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: and that's why I get to share with our two 476 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: million listeners. Yeah, and we appreciate your insight. You're pretty 477 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: good at it. Well, that's very kind of you to say. 478 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: I know you don't mean it, because you're we already 479 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: established that you're the meaner one of us. Yeah, but 480 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,479 Speaker 1: I have my moments, you do. You kind of have 481 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: nice moments. I think having the baby made you a 482 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: little nicer, little soft Yeah, yeah, you're probably right. I'm glad. 483 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: I'murn me down. I'm glad. I'm glad for a little Livie. 484 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: Little little Livie softened you up, something like that, smoothing 485 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: out all the rough smooth. Well, Mac, do you have 486 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: anything else before we had on the road to Philadelphia. Yeah, 487 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: we just need to go up there and and play 488 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: a clean game. I mean, it's got to be a 489 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: clean game. We talked about the kicking a little bit, 490 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: but this is going to be important too.
