WEBVTT - The OTP: Recapping 2 Games in 5 Days 0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:13.280 This is the OTP presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. 0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:17.200 They've been protecting Tennessee and since nineteen forty seven. Don't 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:21.000 get sacked by the high cost of healthcare. Make Farm 0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.160 Bureau Health Plans your first line of protection. I am 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:28.880 My Keith with Amy Wells, and we are recording this 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:34.880 edition of the OTP at midday on Friday, November thirteenth. 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:38.040 Amy Wells, it feels very much like Friday the thirteenth 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:42.120 today if you love the Tennessee Titans. After a performance 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.920 last night that, at least for the final twenty minutes 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:49.520 of the game, most Titans fans would like to forget. Yeah. 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.040 I don't know if Friday scaries are a thing, but 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:56.240 I definitely have them. That was not my favorite, my 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.320 favorite Titans game I've ever been to. I've enjoyed some 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:03.200 more than that. But you know, there's a lot of 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.720 room for growth here, Mike Keith and I am choosing 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.640 to focus on the positives, and that is the positive 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:12.920 room for growth. Your positive is room for growth. Take 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.440 me there. Where is the room for growth that you 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:21.319 specifically see over the last seven weeks where the Titans 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.840 could could make that progress? Well, pretty much anything on 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.520 special teams that feels like a good jumping off point. 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.320 We've got to get this kicker punter thing figured out. 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.280 I don't think that it's not figured out. To clarify, 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.120 I don't think that anyone had confusion about what was 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:42.000 going on going into the game against the Colts, but 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.240 I do think that maybe there's some part of this 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.440 recipe that doesn't seem to be jibing super Well, well, 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.640 let's talk punter for just a second. Can we do that? 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.320 I would love to, okay, because I want to throw 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:59.720 out a little clarification on the whole punter thing. So 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:05.160 Brett Kern is hurt, he can't punt. He's gonna go 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:10.720 on ir They COVID test a bunch of punters and 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:14.160 they have to go through the five day process. The 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.640 story that John Robinson told is one of the guys 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:23.440 that they COVID tested, it's Trevor Daniel, and Trevor Daniel 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.440 thinks he's being prank called when they get him on 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:30.280 the phone. He's been he's been out of football. He's 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.080 been still training and still working and everything, but he 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:37.160 hasn't gotten, you know, a sniff at any point in 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.280 a while. And so he's gone to work for FedEx 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.519 driving a delivery trick. He's gotten a job so great 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:47.320 eight months and so they say would you like to 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.600 come try out? He's like, yes, I would, and so 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:54.679 Trevor Daniel drives in. He makes his last two drops 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.200 of the day for FedEx. He drives to Saint Thomas 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.840 Sports Park, comes in the gate in his FedEx truck 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:07.240 and goes to the COVID. What is it. It's like 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:11.400 a trailer. Yeah, a trailer trailer. That's what I was 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:15.320 looking for and starts the testing process and so he clears. 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:19.160 Other guys clear. Ryan Allen is another guy who clears, 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:23.519 and on Saturday they can come into Saint Thomas Sports 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:28.239 Park and basically have a tryout. The most impressive guy 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:32.960 in the tryout is Trevor Daniel, and so they want 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:37.160 Trevor Daniel. But they play the next day against Chicago. 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.960 Ryan Allen is the guy who has held for Stephen 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.880 Gaskowski for six years, and Trevor Daniel is going to 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.760 have no chance to practice with the Kickers. So they decide, 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:51.560 we'll sign Allen to the active roster, We'll sign Daniel 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.520 to the practice squad. So Alan punts eight times in 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.760 the first game, nearly has a couple blocked in that game. 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:03.840 His were pretty good. He hit a couple a little low, 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.680 a couple of off target where they were supposed to be. 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.240 But they were going to go to Daniel after the 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.920 fact anyway, once they had time to prepare, and so 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.960 once it became obvious on Monday and Tuesday that he 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.200 could hold for Gaskowski and they'd had some practice, they 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:24.400 were making the switch to Daniel. So it was not 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.839 as if they made a switch to Daniel based on 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:32.760 how Alan performed against Chicago. Is this making sense? This 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.960 makes a lot of sense. It was predetermined that the 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.320 switch was going to be made, that Allan was the 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.440 person for Chicago, and then we were going to move 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.480 on to Daniel. That's what they thought would happen. If 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:49.200 Daniel worked out with Gaskowski in practice, Okay, that was 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.720 the switch they were gonna make. When he did, they 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.960 decided to make the switch now, so they called Daniel 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.400 up from the practice squad along with Matt Overton the snapper, 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:04.000 and Alan is made inactive. So as we speak, you know, 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.360 the two punters are there, and I mean, we'll see 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:13.520 what happens from here. But I would contend for people saying, well, 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.719 this change in punter caused the problem. No it didn't. 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:21.560 Now it did not cause the problem was the problem 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:26.919 Alan had against Chicago and the problem that Daniel had 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:32.000 against the Colds, and that is people coming flying up 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.920 the middle. Alan could have had. If you go back 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:40.120 and watch it, and you see the problems that Alan 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.520 was having with people coming up the middle, and then 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:48.279 Daniel had the problem. And unfortunately we called the block 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:52.920 punt on Titan's radio. We called it Coach Max said, 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.599 they're coming. I said, here they are. When I saw 0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:01.200 the result of that amy watching it back. Daniel barely 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.279 got the ball off his foot so much so that 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.440 he kicked EJ Speed with the ball in the neck. 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:13.480 Usually when someone blocks a punt, they get a finger 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:15.680 tip on it or they get a hand on it. 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:23.080 I mean he fully he nearly impacted Daniel's foot before 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:27.960 he had kicked the ball. And on the one that 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.840 he shanked, and it was a shank, there was so 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:35.560 much pressure coming up the middle, he just mishit it. 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:40.680 For people to think this is a punter problem, I 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:46.520 think they're incorrect. That's so that was the punter issue, right, 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.280 and I think I think it's very easy for people, 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.640 myself included, because I started off this conversation by doing this, 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:56.560 so I am contributing to the problem. People are very 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.960 quick to say this kicker isn't working, this punter isn't work. 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.720 They blame the people that you see doing the most. 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:08.520 I guess exciting activity in what that play is. What 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.600 you forget about is that there's more people involved in 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:16.240 this recipe. There's not just a kicker standing there with 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.280 a ball. There's also a group of people who are 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.360 blocking for him and who are helping to make that successful. 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:28.160 So I guess it's bigger than just those two positions. 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:32.720 Special teams as a whole needs to correct some of 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:37.560 the mistakes that are being made. Someone on Rabel's press 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:43.120 conference this morning referred to it as punt coverage, the 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:47.440 proper term, where the Titans punt coverage is fine, the 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:52.800 Titans punt protection not so great. I mean, when you've 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:56.160 got guys, the whole thing is, punts are rarely blocked 0:07:56.200 --> 0:08:00.320 from the outside, okay, if somebody's coming from the outside, 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:07.120 because punters get punts off so quickly today that that 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.440 there used to be three step punters and then they 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.320 became two step, two and a half step whatever. I 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.480 mean they get. They get the punts off so much 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.320 faster than they used to The snappers are so much 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.680 better than they used to be. That the only way 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.480 you really block a punt is coming up the middle, 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.600 and that is if you are more or less unabated. 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:32.280 If somebody misses their block. As a punter, if you 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.160 take the snap and you have a guy coming straight 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:40.959 at you full speed, that's not fantastic. You will just 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:45.720 hit a punt and and I mean it throws you 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:49.680 more than anything else because there is nothing you can 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.559 do because when that guy comes up the middle, you 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.880 can't even really run from him. If somebody's coming from 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.840 the outside, you can cut around them or whatever. But 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.720 if they're coming straight out at you and you've committed 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:05.440 to punting the football, there's nothing you can do. And 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:11.440 I don't know, I don't know what happened. I just 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:15.000 know that punt protection has been a big issue for 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:19.000 the Titans in the last two games, more so than punter. Now. 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:24.560 The kicker thing with Gaskowski's a different issue, and he 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.559 when he missed the kick, and Vrabel said this morning. 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.800 There was not a whole problem with that. When he 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.000 missed the kick. I mean, that was the ball game 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:36.520 right there. That was it, because if he makes that, 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.160 it's what, it's a seven point game with how much 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.040 let me look up how much time remaining. I think 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.440 it's around eleven minutes. I've got it right in front 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.760 of me right here. Yeah, twelve eleven left in the game. 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.880 Plenty of time. It's a seven point game. Ye, not 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.520 saying you win it, but you certainly keep playing it 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.560 at that point and the game is still on. When 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.280 he the kick, even though there were less than fourteen 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.679 thousand people in the stadium, you could feel the air 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.160 go out of Nissan Stadium. Yeah, that was the moment 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:13.400 that everyone went. You know, it's the collective like sigh 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.880 of defeat. And just to speak on Nissan Stadium for 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.880 per minute. When that game started, it was rocking and rolling. 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.960 It was not a full stadium, of course, because of 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.400 the times that we're in, but the people who were 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:29.559 able to be there were fired up. It was it 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:34.400 was a really cool atmosphere. And so to swing from 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:40.959 that to kind of that deflated, Oh no, feeling is hard, 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:46.160 all right, So of the stats. What is the stat 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:52.160 that concerned you the most about the game. Oh, Mike, um, 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:58.400 let me look here. Can I don't mean to go first? Yeah, 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.720 I want you to go first, debating between like three, 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.040 so you go first. The stat that concerned me the 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.200 most was the Titans in the passing game. Yeah, that 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.679 was one of mine. So I'm glad I waited. There's 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.880 some on defense that are obviously concerning, but those are 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.360 kind of obvious. I'm going with the fact that the 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:21.720 Titans through for one hundred and thirty seven yards and 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:27.560 then this past week overall just weren't very good in 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:32.920 the passing game, and in watching it and looking at it, 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:38.520 it does not feel like it's Ryan Tannehill. It's it's protection, 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:43.440 it's it's drops, it's guys not winning in certain situations. 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:46.319 Tannehill has thrown a couple of bad balls. Don't get 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:51.440 me wrong, He's not been perfect, but they are just 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.239 not in sync right now. That's the one that concerns 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:59.040 me the most. And while Derrick Henry nineteen carries under 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:02.480 three yards is his thing, it's almost as if the 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.319 Colts would say, Okay, Derrick Henry, as long as you 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.720 don't break a ninety yard run and go for two 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.680 hundred and fifty yards rushing. We'll give you one hundred 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:14.880 and three because we think we can stop your passing 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:18.000 game right well. And to that, I think the one 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.640 the step that I'm willing to pick that stands out 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:25.360 to me is the Titans third down efficiency three for 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:29.400 ten on converting third downs. Get out of here, like, 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.320 you need to stay on the field longer. You just 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.440 have to. You can't get any sort of rhythm started 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:40.280 if you're not on the field sustaining long drives. You 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.679 just can't do it. And so, yeah, the offense has 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.480 seemed a little disjointed. It hasn't been that cohesive, solid 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.040 kind of train that we thought in the first part 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.320 of the season. And I think a lot of that 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.880 is because they can't stay on the field long enough 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:59.320 to establish any sort of rhythm and kind of find 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:02.120 their group of Every offense in the league when you 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:05.480 start a game has to find kind of that rhythm. 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.080 And you can see as a fan, you can see 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:11.400 when an offense is just firing on all cylinders and 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:14.800 they've kind of hit their stride together. These guys aren't 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:16.920 on the field long enough to be able to establish 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:21.800 that three times they converted third down three that's not enough. 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.840 They've been pretty good on third day. That probably directly 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.760 relates to the passing game too. Yeah. You know, this offense, 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.880 when it's really rolling under Ryan Tannehill, it's gonna have 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.360 some chunk plays. It's gonna have a deep throw to 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.880 Calif Raymond and you know, some sort of deep shot. 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:42.600 I mean they had one in a situation to John 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:46.760 new Smith and Tannehill just overthrew him. They had a 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:48.960 deep shot to a j. Brown that he should have 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.120 caught that he did not catch, which would have been 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.880 a big play. Yeah, they've got to have some of 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.840 those chunks to make their offense work the way they 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:01.120 wanted to. Yeah, let me move to something else real quick. 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.560 Speaking of wide receivers, let's talk about Corey Davis for 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:10.000 a second and what he did last night, win or lose. 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:14.880 It would have been a courageous performance. Regardless his brother dies. 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:19.600 He does not practice on Wednesday. His brother, Titus was 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:24.200 I believe twenty seven, dies of a very rare form 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:28.800 of kidney cancer. He had been diagnosed just back during 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:32.880 the summer, so this was not an extremely long fight 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:39.960 for him. Their background seven children total Wheat and Illinois. 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.360 The parents trying very hard but don't have enough to 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:49.560 provide for all seven children, and so Titus Davis goes 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:55.080 to live with the Hall family, their legal guardians, but 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:58.560 stay in touch with the parents with the biological parents. 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:02.680 Corey Davis goes to live with the Graham family in Wheaton. 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:07.560 They become the legal guardians, and yet Titus and Corey 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:13.640 stay unbelievably close. Titus goes to Central Michigan, breaks all 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:18.440 of Antonio Brown's receiving records. Corey Davis goes to Western Michigan, 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:22.960 sets all of their records, sets the MAC records for receiving, 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:27.640 plays against his brother twice in college, becomes the fifth 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:31.320 overall pick. Titus has a cup of coffee in the 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.600 NFL trying to make rosters and eventually decides he's going 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.920 to retire from the game. And then this happens. And 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.640 Titus Davis was Corey Davis's big brother. They shared a 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:47.200 room when they were young. He was his football mentor. 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.200 He was his overall mentor, as it was described to me. 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:57.760 He meant everything to him. And the end for Titus 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:03.240 Davis sort of the last part of his battle lasted 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:09.200 multiple days, Amy, I mean multiple days. Corey has the 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:15.080 great game against Pittsburgh and flies to Houston, where his 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:19.240 brother is receiving treatment with Amy Adam strung. She takes 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:23.760 him to Houston because they think they're afraid this is it. Yeah, 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:28.600 and eventually he realizes Titus does that treatment is over, 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:33.640 and so he goes back to Illinois. But Corey has 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:40.640 been dealing with this for weeks and dealing with the 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.920 finality of what is going to happen, that his brother 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.840 is not going to make it, and so all of that. 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:54.560 What incredible stress, what courage under pressure he shows and 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:58.800 he always shows courtesy and kindness to everyone. But while 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:03.239 so many people have enduring so many things during this pandemic, 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:09.800 he's dealing with this added burden of his brother having 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:12.639 a terminal illness that has hit him way too young 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:17.720 and so hard, and trying to balance everything out and 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.440 then going out and playing last night because he felt 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:25.199 like that's what Titus would have wanted. I think it 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:28.720 shows a lot about why we feel the way we 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:34.400 do about Corey Davis. Yeah, nobody would have known that 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:38.080 Corey was struggling with something, or that Corey had something 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:42.399 going on in his personal life. He always stays even keel. 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:46.880 He's very cool, he's very calm, never gets super high 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:50.840 or super low. And I think that's why he's been 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:54.240 so successful. I think that being able to kind of 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:59.320 keep everything kind of in check is what makes him 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:06.119 a good receiver. I think that this lot, you wanted 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.640 Corey to have a big game today. You wanted this 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.600 team to get a win for Corey and everything that 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.239 he has been going through and the amount of just 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:18.399 stress and weight that has been on his shoulders. It 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:24.560 is unimaginable. And then to have a job where everyone 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:28.639 evaluates you based on such a finite amount of time 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:32.240 and to feel like you need to perform in this 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:36.600 three and a half four hour window or you're going 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.320 to hear about it for a week. And yet you've 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:41.480 got all these other bigger things, like you have the 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:45.760 actual world on your shoulders. You know. It's it puts 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:50.440 so much football in perspective in that way that this 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:54.240 is a guy who I mean, did he have the 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.080 day that he wanted to have against the Colts? Probably not. 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:01.360 Does it matter to him right now? Also probably not. 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:04.800 You know, there are way bigger things that we're dealing 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:09.560 with and you know, you see that he doesn't play 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:13.399 well against the Bears. After he's played well against the 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.040 Steelers and he's played well against the Bengals, he doesn't 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:21.680 play well against the Bears. And you don't know. I mean, 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.880 that's the whole thing, is you. It's often been said 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:29.359 you never truly know what somebody is going through in 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:33.680 their life at a certain moment. But this is a 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:39.960 person who is grace under pressure exhibited. I've defended Corey 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:43.719 Davis at different times because I think he's a good player. 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.320 I'm glad he's part of the Tennessee Titans. But the 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:50.480 truth is, I just like him. I like him as 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:53.240 a human being. I like how he goes about his business. 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:58.720 I like how he represents the organization. I've been thrilled 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.200 for him when he scores TI touchdowns and when good 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:04.280 things happened for him. You know, he played last year 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:08.600 hurt and you know, maybe didn't have the numbers he 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:12.480 did before. And AJ becomes a star, and that's okay too, 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:16.359 and he's happy for AJ becoming a star. I think 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:19.920 the Titans will certainly be better if we could have 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:23.200 seven games down the stretch where Corey AJ and Adam 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:26.960 Humphries are on the field together. Agreed that would be 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:31.200 a huge help. Hopefully, you know Adam can get back 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:34.720 from concussion protocol with this extra time, because we sure 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:38.080 need him against Baltimore if he can play, absolutely, But 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:40.960 on the other hand, you want Adam to take care 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:44.240 of himself in this instance, Amy, this is not something 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:47.040 that would have been done twenty years ago. Adam Humphries 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:50.360 would not have set out two games. I'm glad for 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:53.000 his long term health that they are taking care of him. 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:57.480 I'm hoping that he recovers to the point where he 0:20:57.520 --> 0:20:59.960 can bounce back and get out of protocol and come back. 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:03.719 But back to Corey, I don't see how he functioned 0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:06.960 last night. I don't know how he got out of 0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:11.000 bed yesterday morning. I don't like. That's not something I 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:13.040 can wrap my head around. So I'm having a hard 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:18.760 time even putting into words how impressed I am by 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:23.160 him and how proud I am of him, because I 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:26.240 can't even it's not a scenario that I can even 0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:31.479 wrap my mind around having such a huge loss in 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:34.760 my life and then going out and performing on this 0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:38.080 incredible stage and doing what I need to do. I 0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:41.359 wouldn't be able to eat a sandwich, Like, arguably the 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:47.800 most important person in your life passes away, and he 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:50.919 says the biggest reason that he is where he is 0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:53.679 today and that he is how he is, And there 0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:56.040 were a lot of people, I mean, the family at 0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:59.720 Western Michigan certainly cared for him. The Graham family took 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:03.159 good care of him, like I said, they've had In 0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:05.560 spite of the fact that it was better for the 0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:10.919 children to be raised in other households, that family stayed connected, 0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:14.800 which is which is an amazing story and a credit 0:22:14.840 --> 0:22:18.800 to those children realizing the parents were doing the very 0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:23.000 best they could. And it's hard, and it's hard when 0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:25.760 you know the people involved, like we've gotten to know 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:30.360 Corey over a period of time. So five catches sixty 0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:36.360 seven yards great. Whatever the fact he was out there, 0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:40.359 all pro all world, all life, I mean, whatever you 0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:44.719 want to call it, many props to him. Now moving 0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:48.080 back to where we are this game and how it 0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:51.840 was lost and the fact that the only thing that 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:54.520 the Titans have to hang their hat on from the 0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:59.800 night I think in terms of statistical performance was Derek Henry. 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:04.080 I'd say that's about it. But let's take it, Mike, well, 0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:06.680 I did. I mean, it doesn't feel good because there's 0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:09.480 nothing that you come back and say, Like the Steeler game, 0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:13.920 you said, well this happened, dude. You know whatever. I mean. 0:23:13.960 --> 0:23:16.880 Sometimes you lose games you say, well, you can draw 0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:19.439 some positives. It's hard to draw positives out of this. 0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:23.280 The only positive that I can draw is the sun 0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:28.680 came up this morning. There are seven games left. The 0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:31.920 Titans are six and three. And here's the thing. Let 0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:35.400 me read this to you. The Colts played green Bay 0:23:35.520 --> 0:23:39.560 this week, Okay, then they played Tennessee November the twenty ninth. 0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:44.240 The Titans played Baltimore this coming week, November twenty, second 0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:50.359 week from Sunday, and then they go to Indianapolis. Amy, 0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:53.280 if the Titans win that game, regardless of what they 0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:56.600 do in Baltimore and regardless of what the Colts do 0:23:56.680 --> 0:24:01.880 against green Bay, then the Tight control their own destiny 0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:05.960 in the AFC South. I like that. That is something 0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:09.040 that is encouraging to me. Mikeith See, you're finding it 0:24:09.080 --> 0:24:14.800 the silver lining. So if they're both seven and four 0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:19.080 at the end of that day, if Tennessee beats Indianapolis 0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:24.399 on November the twenty ninth, they are in control because 0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:28.640 of this, because Indianapolis lost in Week one at Jacksonville. 0:24:29.240 --> 0:24:36.520 Indianapolis has a loss in the division. Okay, two teams 0:24:36.520 --> 0:24:41.960 would split, but Indianapolis has at the Titans have beaten 0:24:42.080 --> 0:24:45.440 Jacksonville and they've beaten Houston. Indie still has to play 0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:50.680 Houston twice, they have to go to Las Vegas, they 0:24:50.760 --> 0:24:55.000 have to play at Pittsburgh in Week sixteen, and then 0:24:55.040 --> 0:25:02.320 they finish against Jacksonville. So, I mean, bottom line, it's 0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:06.560 still there. Right. It was a ball game that was lost. 0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:10.840 It was a bad loss from how it felt and 0:25:10.960 --> 0:25:15.479 from how it came down, particularly the last twenty minutes. 0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:20.120 But the season is not lost. Now. If the Titans 0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:23.080 played like they did last night against Baltimore or at 0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:26.680 Indianapolis or whatever they've got left to do, that ain't good. 0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:31.160 I mean, none of this matters. But if they get 0:25:31.200 --> 0:25:36.200 the ship righted, they can still win the division. Well, 0:25:36.200 --> 0:25:39.760 and if you think about it, Mike, given the choice, 0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:45.000 I would rather be the angry team coming into the 0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:49.399 second matchup with the Indianapolis Colts then the team that 0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:52.080 thinks they are somebody. You know, I want to go 0:25:52.119 --> 0:25:55.960 into that second matchup at their place at Lucas Oil, 0:25:56.560 --> 0:26:00.399 angry and with something to prove, because that when this 0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:04.399 team plays the best when they're mad, and they have 0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:09.120 a point to prove. Again, division tiebreaker with two teams 0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:12.840 head to head record is one. If the Titans win 0:26:12.960 --> 0:26:17.240 that game on November twenty ninth, it's a split, right correct. 0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:23.600 The second tiebreaker. The second tiebreaker is division record, And 0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:26.399 so if the Titans could finish five and one in 0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:30.880 the division, then they are in a position where they 0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:33.560 could win a tiebreaker if they finished with the same 0:26:33.600 --> 0:26:40.080 overall record as the Colds. So it's still there. It's 0:26:40.119 --> 0:26:43.199 still there, I mean, and I'm sure I would have 0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:45.000
