I'm Mike Keith with Amy Wells, Titans 3 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: Radio's Dave McGinnis. I'm Mike Keith and Jim White, the 4 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: Great Jim White from Titans Online dot Com, Senior writer editor, Welcome, 5 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: happy to be here, Glad to have you all, and 6 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: want to start off this edition of the OTP reminding 7 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: everyone that Sunday's game with Jacksonville at Nissan Stadium is 8 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: a three oh five Central time start. Yes, seems to 9 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,639 Speaker 1: be important because everybody continues to be shocked by that. 10 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: It's been on the schedule the whole time. But everybody 11 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: that's a three oh five start, well, I mean the 12 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: games with Jacksonville, if they aren't on Thursday night, which 13 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: they normally are, are always at noon. So this throws 14 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: everybody for a loop at it. I understand, but it's 15 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: at three or five. Sleep in, go to church, have 16 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: a nice brunch, then come to the game. Which he 17 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: was three h five games. I like him if they're 18 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: at home, Okay, I do like him. If they're at home. 19 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: I'm not a real fan on the road because we 20 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: get home later, get home later. Yes, I do like 21 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: him at home? What was our other three or five 22 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: start the Chargers game with three or five starter? Yeah 23 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, it's funny. It sneaks upon people. I 24 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: remember leaving here after a Friday practice that week and 25 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: I was walking, you know, down the practice field John Glennon, 26 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: and so we get sleep in a little bit. Uh, 27 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: you know tomorrow fan, He goes, I mean on Sunday. 28 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: He said, that's a late start. He said, yeah, he 29 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: didn't know it was a late start as a Friday 30 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: before the game. And if we did not have that conversation, 31 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: he might have been at the stadium about five hours early. Yeah, 32 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: he getting there plenty of time. So it is good 33 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: remind people because I think you're just get into a 34 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: habit of getting there at noon and expecting a noon kickoff, 35 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: and people need to know, well, the second half will 36 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: be played in the dark. Yeah, because with the time change, 37 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: I think sundown on Sunday's roughly four thirty. That's so early. 38 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: It is early on. It's daylight savings. I know, but 39 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: can we give a little bit more of it up. 40 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: We don't have to save all of that daylight, do we. 41 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of another podcast, But I know 42 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: we'd like to get people at the stadium early. Maybe 43 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: we just just don't mention the three everybody showing up 44 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: at you know, eleven o'clock and I'll get them there early. 45 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: I still say the good thing about three h five's 46 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: for the Titans has to do with the fact that 47 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: it gives people from around the region a better chance 48 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: to get here. It's hard if you're coming from Knoxville 49 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: or Memphis, or you're even Chattanooga, which is two hours 50 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: Birmingham and north of Birmingham. I mean, you have to 51 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: leave pretty early. And now now you don't have to 52 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: push it quite as much, particularly if your college team. 53 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: If you're going to see your college team on Saturday, 54 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: which a lot of people do, a lot of people 55 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: do the double dip, it's great. It is great. That's 56 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: how you should do it. I mean that should be 57 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: the law realistically. If you love football, you should go 58 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: see a college game on Saturday, and go see you 59 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: in the high school game on Friday. High school go 60 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: for the three Friday Saturday Friday night. Yep, it's a 61 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: beautiful with you. I love it. I'm usually worn out 62 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: at the end of college football seasons, for making a 63 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: lot of trips. Uh. I've been to uh three Alabama 64 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: games on Saturday and Tuscaloos, I've been in Knoxville. I 65 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: would go to two games in Knoxville this year, in 66 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: the South Carolina for a game, and then of course 67 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: Vanny games in towns. I've made the most of my 68 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: football Saturdays and Sundays. That's a great thing that'll about 69 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: having a you know, major universities within driving distance and 70 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: then the National Football League team right in your backyard. Well, 71 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: and it's it's outstanding. And let's face it too, I 72 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: mean it's it's the SEC and the and the people 73 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: in the SEC and in this part of the country 74 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: are so passionate about football. And that's what we always hope, 75 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: you know, would be the case with the Titans this 76 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: that that sort of passion would catch on. So when 77 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: I hear people call the shows or I read your mailbag, 78 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: and and even when it's not positive, I think, good passion. 79 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: That's that's what we started out with. Because I'll tell 80 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: you something, when we came my first year with the 81 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: ball club in ninety eight, we played Vanderbilt, It's like nobody, 82 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: They're like okay, and I mean, that's the worst thing 83 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: you can have. Yeah, is just nothing. And so I 84 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: would rather have the passion regardless because to me, that 85 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: shows you've got that interest level in that base, no question, 86 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: no question about me and the Memphis days too, obviously 87 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: that was that was rough. That was before my time 88 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: as far as covering the team, But certainly I observed 89 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 1: from Afar and made it down there for one game, 90 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: and uh, people didn't care down there. You know the 91 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: famous story about the last game of the season against 92 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh where it rained and the whole crowd was Pittsburgh 93 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: the story, and I don't know if it's true, but 94 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: I would give anything to know if it's true. So 95 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: they were supposed the team was supposed to play in 96 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: Memphis for two years. That was the original agreement. The 97 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: ninety seventh season went poorly, no question about it. That 98 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: the attendance wasn't great. The team didn't do a great 99 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: job in Memphis. I mean, it wasn't a win anywhere. 100 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: So the last game of the seasons against Pittsburgh, the 101 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: game doesn't matter to the Steelers. It rains, so everybody 102 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: comes and gets a poncho. I don't think it was 103 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: supposed to rain. Everybody buys a poncho, and the poncho 104 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: color is yellow, and so it appears as though and 105 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: there are a ton of Steeler fans there, just a ton, 106 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: But because the ponchos are yellow, it appears that everybody 107 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: there is a Steeler fan. And so mister Adams is apoplectic. 108 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: He is beside him himself. He tells his staff, whatever 109 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: you have to do, get us out of this deal, 110 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: because I'm not going back there if everybody there. Well, again, 111 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: it turns out that the ponchos they were selling at 112 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: the Liberty Bowl Stadium, according to legend, we're yellow Steeler gold. 113 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: Mister Adams wasn't wearing one of those yellow. Mister Adams 114 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: was not amused, and so we ended up at Vanderbilt 115 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: for a year and then onto what is now known 116 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: as Nissan Stadium. By the way, at Nissan Stadium, speaking 117 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: of Jackets, coat drive this week something that we do 118 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: well at Nissan Stadium. Since twenty seventeen, more than twelve 119 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: hundred coats have been given to eight local nonprofit organizations 120 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: who serve individuals in need of a warm coat during 121 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: winter months. So bring a coat that's straight from a 122 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: Jim Wyatt column at Titans Online dot com about that. 123 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: And if if you've got one of those yellow ponchos 124 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: left over, I'm sure they probably take that, probably take 125 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: that as well. That's a great cause though. That's of 126 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: course really cool. Well, and everybody's got a coat, they're 127 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: not wearing anymore more than one. Yeah, so help somebody out, 128 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: all right. Dave McGinnis, who's the team to beat in 129 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: the AFC South with six to play? Indianapolis Colts. Indianapolis 130 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: most consistent through eleven weeks. I mean, and here's what 131 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: they do. They've got they've got an offensive line that 132 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: has been performing consistently throughout and especially at the latter 133 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,559 Speaker 1: of stages in these last six weeks of the season. 134 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: You've got to be able to control the lines of scrimmage, 135 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: both offensively and defensively. They've done that consistently, and so 136 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: until they prove that they're not there, that they are 137 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: the team to beat right now in my opinion, because 138 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: of the consistency that they've shown, and also they've been 139 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: consistent losing a generational quarterback that never even took the 140 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: field this season, it's the Colts, all right. So here's 141 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: what they have remaining at Houston on Thursday Night Football 142 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: this week, then they host the Titans on December first, 143 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: at Tampa Bay on December eighth, at New Orleans for 144 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: Monday Night Football, on December the sixteenth, Carolina at home, 145 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: and then at Jacksonville. I mean, that's a pretty tough 146 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: go the rest of the way. I could see. I 147 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: can see three losses on the road right there, and 148 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully one at home to the Titans. Well, 149 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: I know one loss I want to see, all right, 150 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: Amy Wells. Who is the team to beat in the 151 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: AFC South? I said, Houston, And I know that they 152 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: just lost to Baltimore in a fashion that I don't 153 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: think was fun for them, and they clearly have some 154 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: issues that they need to get resolved. But Deshaun Watson, 155 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: time after time after time, we have seen him rise 156 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: from the ashes like a phoenix and make all kinds 157 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: of things happen. He is just always someone that you 158 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: cannot count out in this league. And I think that 159 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: the Titans have to beat them twice, all right, So 160 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Thursday Night Football this week and then New England 161 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football on December first, Denver at home, so 162 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: three straight home games for the Houston Texans, then at 163 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: Tennessee at Tampa Bay, and then they conclude with Tennessee 164 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: at NRG Stadium. So they have four home games remaining, 165 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,719 Speaker 1: including two of three in the division. So far in 166 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,359 Speaker 1: the division, they have beaten Jacksonville, they lost at Indianapolis, 167 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: and then they beat Jacksonville in London, so they are 168 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: two and one in the division. Jim Wyatt, who's the 169 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: team to beat in the AFC South. I'm going Houston 170 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: as well, and I think they beat Indie on Thursday 171 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,599 Speaker 1: night to get to seven and four and uh and 172 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: then looking at their schedule and mean I get to nine, 173 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: possibly ten, and the Titans again have to control their 174 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: own destined in this thing. They can they can mess 175 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: the whole thing up and be the team to beat 176 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: themselves if you win those games. But I get I 177 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: get to nine or ten for Houston, and when I 178 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: look at Indie, I think they get the best they 179 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: can get to is nine. And that's saying we beat 180 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: them in two weeks, all right, so they six and six, 181 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: I think, coach Max says Indianapolis, Ye say, I would 182 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: go with Houston as well because of the schedule. That's 183 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: just me. But his point, coach Max point is of 184 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: all eight units in the AFC South and you look 185 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: at offenses and defenses, the best and most consistent overall 186 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: group is Indianapolis with their offensive line. You know who 187 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: we need to be pulling for these last six weeks. 188 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay, Big, Big Bruce Arians fans. Here's 189 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: the interesting thing about this week's opponent, Jacksonville. They're not 190 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: out of it now, they're four and six, they're two 191 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: games out of first place. But listen to their schedule. 192 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: So they play at Tennessee three oh five Central Time 193 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: this Sunday. Then they've got Tampa and the Chargers at 194 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: home in back to back weeks, both very winnable. They 195 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: go to Oakland and I don't know what I think 196 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: about Oakland yet. Anybody have a big thought on Oakland yet, 197 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: I'll tell you in a couple of weeks that's oh, 198 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: come on, answer ay, Well, that's the finale in Oakland. 199 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: Who was the last game in Oakland? Okay, So that's 200 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: a tough one at Atlanta and again Atlanta's bizarre. This 201 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: thing Atlanta has done the last two weeks is Atlanta 202 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 1: has never been without talent. Oh yeah, I don't think 203 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: anybody thinks they're a bad team. I just think they're 204 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: a team that's had a bad year. That's exactly right. 205 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: So and plus Atlanta's fairly healthy they are, that's a 206 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: good point. And then Jacksonville concludes with Indianapolis at home. 207 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: So I mean Jacksonville could win their last six. It's 208 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: not out of the realm of possibility. I mean, you 209 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 1: don't have to have unicorns and rainbows to see that happen. 210 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: It's very interesting, it's very interest. Can the Titans win 211 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: their last six? Yes? Absolutely can. They need to win. 212 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: They need to win those five AFC games. That's huge. 213 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: That's what we need to do. At three and four 214 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: in the AFC and O and two in the division 215 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: right now, really stinging it just when this week? When 216 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: this week? That's the coach in me. That's right, all right, 217 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: Dave McGinnis. You saw Baltimore this weekend. Take Houston apart. 218 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: Is Baltimore the AFC favorite after what you've seen? And 219 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 1: because you also saw New England in the preseason, not 220 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 1: just for a preseason game, you saw him in camp. 221 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: You know what they have. You saw him last year 222 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: You've seen him for years. You know, Bill Belichick is 223 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 1: Baltimore the AFC favorite. I really liked what I saw 224 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: in Baltimore. You know, when I did that game this week, 225 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: I really liked him for this reason. You know, I 226 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 1: talked to John Harball before the game, talked to Ozzy Nus, 227 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: and I asked him, where is this offense? Because this 228 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: is a very unique offense in the National Football League, 229 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: And you know, I asked, what is the difference? I 230 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: asked John Harball, what's the difference? What's Greg Roman doing 231 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: differently this year that he's not that he didn't do 232 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: last year. They've committed fully to run a Lamar Jackson 233 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: on true option offense. You've got to defend him at 234 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: every anchor point along the line. A lot of times 235 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: when you're defending read option in the National Football League, 236 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: you're defending a perimeter run. That's what you're defending. You've 237 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: got to now defend inside quarterback follow option plays. You've 238 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: got to you've got to defend full quarterback sweep plays. 239 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: You've got to defend true speed option plays. And then 240 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: you've got to defend read option plays. And you've got 241 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: to defend load option plays. They run the whole gamut 242 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: of what you have to do. Romeo Cornell had two 243 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: weeks to get ready for it. They had two weeks 244 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: to get ready for it. And the Texans defense against 245 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: that offense Sunday afternoon up there didn't know whether they 246 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: were foot or horseback. I mean, they were so out 247 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: of sync they had no idea. And here's the other 248 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,599 Speaker 1: thing about them. Not only is Lamar Jackson dynamic running it, 249 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: everybody else is in sync with it. They run thirteen personnel, 250 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: which is three tights, one wide, one back. It's hard 251 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: to match up. You've got to decide how am I 252 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: going to match up with this personnel wise, because every 253 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: one of their tight ends can split out from the 254 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: cylinder and run the route. Their hand catchers they can run. 255 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: They're big combat catchers, but they can get down the field. 256 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: I was so impressed with them, and I really wanted 257 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: to watch their defense. Their defense has been playing with 258 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: the lead all year. They you know, they got rid 259 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: of a lot of defensive players this year, and those 260 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: guys are starting to come together. You know, Wink Martindale 261 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: now has got them kind of zeroed into what they 262 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: want to do. But look at the number of snaps 263 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: that the defense has not played this year because this 264 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: offense keeps the ball and they end drives with touchdowns. 265 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: I like Baltimore. Are they the favorite right now? I 266 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: think so? Yes, I think so too. I think that 267 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: the only other team that could be close is the Patriots. 268 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: And the Patriots aren't having the commanding wins that we're 269 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: used to seeing. They're digging deep and working hard to 270 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: get the wins that they have, and it seems that 271 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: Baltimore is peeking at exactly the time you want to 272 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: be peeking. You want to start getting hot in late November, 273 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: and here we sit with the Baltimore Ravens being one 274 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: of the hottest teams in the league. I still say 275 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: it's the Patriots until someone proves me otherwise. And I 276 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: know Baltimore beat them in Baltimore a couple of weeks ago. 277 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: But I look at New England schedule or nine and one, 278 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: I give them two losses down the stretch to finish 279 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: at thirteen and three. I look at Baltimore eight and two. 280 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: I think they can get to twelve, but that would 281 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: give the Patriots the home field and the playoffs, and 282 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: I think New England will We'll find a way to 283 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: win in Foxborough if that's what it comes to. So 284 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: I'm still sticking with the Patriots and again until until 285 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: somebody surprises me. I'm kind of with you from this standpoint. 286 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: I think the home field thing is going to be big, 287 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: but I think Belichick having seen them one time already 288 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: this year is a big deal. Well it's a huge 289 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: deal because he and they got ropes. Now, I mean, 290 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: they didn't do much with him, but he is so 291 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: famous for coming back, and it's just like what happened 292 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: here in Nashville last year where the Tan's worked him over. 293 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: You know, if we'd have gone and seen him in 294 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: the playoffs, it would have been something totally different, and 295 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: it will be for Lamar Jackson coming back. So I 296 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: kind of go with Jim. But the fact that Baltimore 297 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: plays Baltimore defense and now they actually have an offense 298 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: after twenty years of I mean, you know, Trent Dilfer 299 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: was the magic man for them in two thousand and 300 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: they weren't exactly going up and down the field. Then 301 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco was a good, solid quarterback, but he was 302 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: by no means Hall of Fame caliber is not Hall 303 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: of Fame caliber. But this kid, and he's the number 304 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: six rusher in the AFC overall. Yeah, and don't mistake 305 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: it that he's just a running quarterback either, right, because 306 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: his percentage from the cylinder is really good. I watch 307 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: it in person. That's one reason I wanted to go 308 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: do that game. I wanted to see it in person. 309 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: The other thing is is when you prepare for a 310 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: team like that, it's hard to simulate in practice. It's 311 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: hard to simulate all of that stuff in practice. You 312 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: just don't get a real look at it. I believe though, 313 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: just what you said about about Belichick. If there's anybody 314 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: that can design something that will throw a wrench in it, 315 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: it is Bill Belichick, especially with all this time to 316 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: look at it like what he did to the Rams 317 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, which true nobody saw coming, and 318 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: you believe has continued on into twenty nineteen for Rams 319 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: opponents in terms of the recipe. Well, yeah, do just 320 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: watch tape. You can see it. You can see exactly 321 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: what they're doing, you know, And it all had its 322 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: genesis in what Belichick did in the Super Bowl. Who's 323 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: the MVP favorite right now? I say Russell Wilson. I mean, 324 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: I think it's between Russell Wilson Lamar Jackson. They're both 325 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 1: their numbers are incredible. I just can't get past Russell 326 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: Wilson twenty seven thirty seven passing yards, twenty three touchdowns, 327 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: two interceptions, as rushing yards don't compare to Lamar Jackins 328 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: is probably just a third. But what he's done and 329 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: they're both eight and two. He's done it with the 330 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: defenses rank twenty fourth of the league. So I go 331 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson. I said Lamar Jackson because of the 332 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: compelling numbers, but also because he is the only reason 333 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: that offense is able to work the way that it works. 334 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: I say Lamar Jackson, and I'm going to disagree with 335 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: my partner here, Amy's He's not the only reason that 336 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: offense works because that offense, that offense gives you enough problems. 337 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: They've got good players on that offense, and that three 338 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: tight end stuff is hard. But I still say Lamar 339 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 1: Jackson because he is operating at such a high level 340 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: and he elevates everybody around him. But would they be 341 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: able to do those things if they didn't have someone 342 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: who possessed so many other attributes? Absolutely not. I say 343 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes really because I think they're going to win 344 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: their last five games. I think he's gonna throw fifteen 345 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: sixteen touchdown passes. I think some of the other guy's 346 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: numbers will come back to earth, even a guy like 347 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, who's thrown for over thirty three three hundred 348 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: yards and twenty one touchdowns and plays for America's team, 349 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: who's going to be in primetime every week the rest 350 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: of the season. But I think Mahomes, particularly with the reputation, 351 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: I think he has a chance to become the first 352 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: NFL MVP to miss time in a season since Steve 353 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: McNair in two thousand and three. I think Mahomes will 354 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: have the numbers that you're talking about. I don't think 355 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: their defense is good enough to give them the wins. Yeah, 356 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: but I disagree because I just think schedule wise, they're 357 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: about to roll and looking at their schedule, they got 358 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: Oakland this week, then at New England that's the one 359 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: roadblock there, and then it's Denver, Chicago and the Chargers. 360 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: I could definitely see them winning four or five or 361 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: all five, because that's not the type of matchup that 362 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: New England really wants. I mean he can after seeing 363 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: that kid, I'm a believer. Here's who has to be 364 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: healthy for Mahomes to do that. Though Tyreek Hills sam 365 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: string report this morning minor that it's a minor injury. 366 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: They need it to be mine. They do. Agreed, agreed, 367 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: all right. So a lot of talk that I've seen, 368 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: heard and read about the pass interference reviews, What a 369 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: disaster this seems like for the NFL. And every time 370 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: Al Riveron comes on Twitter or whatever and he's talking 371 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: about something, it just it's like, boy, it's just not 372 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: a good look. I mean, the whole thing doesn't make sense. 373 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: Dave McGinnis, I'll ask you first, do pass interference reviews 374 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: change any over the final six weeks of the season 375 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: based on some of this criticism and based on the 376 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: fact that we're getting into more meaningful games down the 377 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: stretch from Thanksgiving on end? And does PI review end 378 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: after the season period? He won't change what he's doing. Okay. 379 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 1: I witnessed one in person this weekend. Yes you did, 380 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: and it was I mean, if you're not going to 381 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: call that one and I haven't seen all of them, 382 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: you're talking about the Houston talking about Houston I'm talking 383 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: about us with Dorey Hopkins in the end zone where 384 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: he was I mean, if you're not gonna and Bill 385 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,959 Speaker 1: O'Brien was right, he said, you know, he was right 386 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: to challenge it. Al Rivern's not going to change it 387 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: because the league doesn't want this rule. This was a 388 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: knee jerk reaction to what went on in the NFC 389 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: Championship game. It was hurried through. Coaches don't like it. 390 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: The official department clearly is not going to challenge their 391 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: call on the field with their officials. They're going to 392 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: back their officials. This thing's one and done, but it 393 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: won't change over the next six weeks. Just won't do it. 394 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: There's so much inconsistency. There's so much inconsistency that if 395 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: there's almost no way to change it. I mean, I 396 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: think what there is is there's consider to see in 397 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: the inconsistency. This is like the bad guy wrestler pulling 398 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: out the foreign object and hitting the good guy wrestler, 399 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: and everybody can see it, but the referee and and 400 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: everybody in the crowds. But what is this? This is 401 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: the and and the bad guy throws his hands up 402 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 1: like what what are you talking about I have no idea, 403 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 1: and everybody sees it. I'm serious. I mean the Hopkins play, 404 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, well, surely they're gonna call this, surely, 405 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: but it's like everybody's so against it. We can all 406 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: see it, and yet it's not happening, So why are 407 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: we even doing it? Well? And I'm with coach Mac, 408 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: I think it's gone after this season especially, and they're 409 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: gonna use some sort of it's taking too much time 410 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: to go through the whole Rigamar role and all of 411 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: this stuff. I mean, this has been a train wreck 412 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: from the jump. It's it's not coming back, that's for sure. 413 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: And some people think that wrestling's fake too. I know 414 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: for me who knew that, I think they can't afford. 415 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: I think they'll keep it the way it is the 416 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: rest of the season, and I think coaches will will 417 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: accept that. You know, it's funny, and I see it 418 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: on social media all the time. People always question, well, 419 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: why didn't Rabel challenging this. It's obviously interference. And then 420 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: as to the point now, I saw was watching the 421 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: Texas game and saw Hopkins get interfered with, and that's 422 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: the point where I saw John McClean tweet out when 423 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 1: he lost the challenge, he's stupid for challenging that because 424 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: you know you're not gonna win. So it's completely changed it. 425 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: But I still think the NFL is going to keep 426 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: it in his back pocket. Pardon the fun, Yes, so good. 427 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: I think they're going to keep in their back pocket 428 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: moving forward just to avoid having a situation like what 429 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: happened last year in New Orleans where if you really 430 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: really have to have it on a play that changes 431 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: the game completely. And that game I call against Hopkins 432 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: changes that game earlier because the Baltimore been frustrate they 433 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: missed a field goal. Houston scores down there early, they 434 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: jump out to a lead. I don't think that game 435 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: plays out like it did, but I think in the 436 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,199 Speaker 1: end of game situation, I think the league is going 437 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: to want to have it as an option moving forward. 438 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think they're going to keep 439 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: it where it can be an official review and it 440 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: cannot be a coach's challenge. Well, that that would be 441 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: changing it then, because they the way it is now, 442 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: the coaches weren't all in on this anyway, No, and 443 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: the coaches have been proven right. The other thing about 444 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: al Riveron, you say when you know it's it's not 445 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: a good listen when he starts trying to explain it, 446 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: because you come out of those explanations even more confused 447 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: than you were going out. He's not that's not what 448 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: he I'm sure he's a very capable man and a 449 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: very smart man, but that's not what he does best. 450 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: He's not a great explainer. But see, that's that's where 451 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: the officiating department is missing the Mike Pereira oh yeah, 452 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: and missing a Dean Blandino, because whether you agreed with 453 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: them or not, their explanations, it's kind of like a 454 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: lawyer in a courtroom. You may not agree with what 455 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 1: he's arguing, but if you if what he says makes sense, 456 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: you start to say, you know what, that makes sense 457 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: to me, well, and that PR role for the league 458 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: is very important. You could argue that PR role is 459 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: as important, if not more important, than actually being a 460 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: rules guy. If they put somebody on there to explain, 461 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: it's like Gene Territory explaining on TV. I think he 462 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: does a great job and the LSU Alabama game working 463 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: for CBS on the play with Randy Moss's son about 464 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: did he re establish or the fact that he said 465 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: he didn't quite know that he didn't he didn't. Good 466 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: for you, Good for you saying I'm just not exactly 467 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: sure what this is all about, because nobody's perfect. I 468 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: think the being able to explain is here. It's all 469 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: the presentation right well, and you know, I mean it's 470 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: tough with it being all in front of the public 471 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: this way and for people. You know, you see the 472 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: Hopkins play and you're like, that was a mugging. I mean, 473 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: he just I mean, there's no question he grabbed him 474 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: on his back, right. I mean, so from the time 475 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: you start following football at whatever age you are, that 476 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: looks like past interference. Well, I mean they ask me 477 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: on the broadcast, they said, you know, was that clear 478 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: and obvious? And I said, of course. They said, you 479 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: think it'll be changed? I said, no, see, I think they've. 480 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: If I'm Roger Goodell, I'm marching down the hall with 481 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: you know, my guys and you know the people, and 482 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: I'm saying, listen, we've because I think you lose credibility 483 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: to a certain extent when you have a play like 484 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: that and you have a rule in place after what 485 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: happened in the New Orleans Los Angeles NFC Championship game. 486 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: I think it hurts you. But at the same time, 487 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: this would be at least the second, if not more 488 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: times than that, that they have had to say two officials, 489 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: you're doing this wrong. You need to do it differently. 490 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 1: I mean, the holding calls and all of that. At 491 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: what point does that start to erode your credibility that 492 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 1: we can't get this right before we even walk through. 493 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: But and to take your point, I agree with you, 494 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: except for the fact, do you not think it's been 495 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: more positively received by the public that the holding calls 496 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: have decreased after Week two and the Thursday night game 497 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 1: where the Titans were penalized a total of nine times 498 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 1: for one hundred and one yards. Yes, they had to 499 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 1: go tell them that to make them do it, But 500 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: as the public doesn't go back and say, well they 501 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: had to go to them, they're just happy they're not 502 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: having to live with all the holding calls. Let's go 503 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: let's remember about the holding though. Okay, when we all 504 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: attended the officials meetings in training game, Okay, what was 505 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: the point of emphasis that they want holding exactly? So? 506 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: Then now said they were going to make it a 507 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: point of emphasis. And then they came back and said, 508 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: don't emphasize it that much, right, I mean, that's you 509 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: can make changes. You can make changes, but you have 510 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: to be consistent with your changes. The thing that's happened 511 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: with this past interference thing, they're getting what they want 512 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: because coaches are going to quit challenging it because the 513 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: losing a time out is more important than maybe convincing 514 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: Al Riveron in New York to overturn it. Interesting, Well, 515 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: Mac thinks highly of officials anyway, So well, now I 516 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: respect the work I do, but I also respect competency, right, 517 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: and that's what we're not seeing. Well, and here's the 518 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: other things. Why didn't those guys call it on the 519 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: field that is one hundred percent correct? Okay, thank you, 520 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: because they are we don't even now we're getting into 521 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: the officials. They're all paralyzed, right, they're paralyzed right now. 522 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: I mean they don't know whether it's pumped or stuffed 523 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: right now because they're having a hard time. Well, I 524 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: think they're paralyzed. I mean I think how they've got 525 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: games being called anyway is something that's troubling because I 526 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: think there's so much on them. It's just like what 527 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: happened at the end of the Chargers Titans game. They 528 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: didn't make a call, did not make one, they didn't 529 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: make a signal. And I think they're all terrified to 530 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: do that because they know if they get it wrong, 531 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: they're not going to get to work the playoffs. Don't 532 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: get it wrong, why, I know, But the whole thing 533 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: is call the game, and if you're wrong, you're wrong. 534 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: Life goes on and you justify why you were wrong. 535 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: But I mean, we're sitting in the booth doing the 536 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: broadcast and we can't tell people what's happening because nobody 537 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: will signal anything, and the crowd in the stadium's all 538 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: that listen. That's not good for the game, right, No, 539 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: But that was that was bizarre at the end of 540 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: that one. But I'm with you in the fact I 541 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: think they're afraid to make a mistake, and I think 542 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: that's showing up every Sunday and see, you can't you 543 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: cannot do that in the National Football League. You can't 544 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: coach scared, you can't play scared, and you sure can't 545 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: officiate scared. And that's what's happening. Does anybody in this 546 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: group believe we should just do away with replay totally 547 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: right now. No, I do not believe that. No, I 548 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: don't either. Okay, did you get that's been brought up again? Yeah, 549 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: but let me say this, don't you and talking about 550 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: the Charger game replay? Look, win Titans. That's right, and 551 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: it was a right call every time. It was the 552 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: right call. Okay, confirmed by replay. Time for What's brewing? 553 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,719 Speaker 1: Brought to you by the great Taste plant based beyond 554 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: sausage sandwich from Duncan Donuts. It's here with ten grams 555 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: of beyond sausage plant based protein in between a toasted 556 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: English muffin and delicious egg and cheese. Duncan has created 557 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: a brand new way to start your day, so you 558 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: can add a plant based wos to your morning. America 559 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: runs on Duncan. Duncan's a good deal. Duncan is a 560 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: good deal. Amy Wells, what's brewing with you? The definitive 561 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: answer on what has been plaguing me for weeks since 562 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: Mike Keith brought it up. Will Rob Gronkowski come back 563 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: this season? It never occurred in my brain as an option, 564 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: so I started to panic, he puts on social media. 565 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: That he is hosting this big music festival extravaganza in 566 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: Miami when super Bowl week he's not coming back, You're wrong. 567 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: Why it's not till November has to declare And he's 568 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: come back out again and acted like that. He said 569 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: he said he wouldn't come back this year. He said it. 570 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: I read it on ESPN, Mike Keith, I feel so 571 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: good about this more days right now? Was that the 572 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: fire Festival? What was the festival that never got off 573 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: the ground? Was the fire This is gonna be like 574 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: the Fire Fest. It may but it may get off 575 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: the ground. I mean, if he decides to come, I 576 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: promise you I'm looking. I'm looking up what he has 577 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: to declare by November thirtieth, Amy Wells, by November thirtieth, 578 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: He's got ten days. This feels definitive to me because 579 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: she and I he danced with the Laker girls. Sure 580 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: he was pretty he's pretty good. It's pretty Wells and 581 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,719 Speaker 1: I already had a little set too before we got 582 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: on the headsets this morning. I'm all fired up, she is, 583 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: and so I get that. So okay, while we wait 584 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: on this, Jim White, what's brewing with you? What's brewing? 585 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: With me, is what's going to happen with Tau now? 586 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: Is he still a top three pick? Does he slide 587 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: potentially into the teams where a team like the Titans 588 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: would have an option? Can this could a team like 589 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: the Titans or any other team? Afore to wait a 590 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: year to see if he gets healthy? And the other one, 591 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: which I think is highly doubtful. Is there any scenario 592 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: where he goes back to Alabama, improves himself for one 593 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: more season, and then elevation's draft stock again. That's brewing 594 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: in my mind? All right? So Tua is brewing. She's 595 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: got her hand up, all right. Amy Wells wants to 596 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: go back and have another turn. It's like fifteen minutes 597 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: of extra testimony headline. Yes, as of November nineteenth, Rob 598 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: Gronkowski won't say never on a return, but not in 599 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Who says that he has no plans to 600 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: do so in twenty nineteen? Well did he? S? Gronkowski? 601 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: What's the quote? I wouldn't say never coming back. I'm 602 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: thirty years old. I'm young. I can still stay fit, 603 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: still watch the game whenever, I can, still enjoy it. 604 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: I'm feeling good. But you know, one year off could 605 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: possibly be the case, or maybe two years off. Man. Yeah, Man, 606 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: I'm never stressed out about it. I don't think anything 607 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: is ever with Rob Gronkows Can I just say this 608 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: Amy with ten days and I like your passion with this. 609 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: He said he wasn't coming back in twenty nineteen, that 610 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: Super Bowls in twenty twenty, and she's throwing a pin 611 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: at meridiculous. I'm right he will be on grunk beach 612 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: all right. Dave McGinnis field goal percentage in twenty nineteen 613 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 1: the National Football League's at least consistent in the last 614 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 1: six years. Kate, why five seasons prior? I'm not telling 615 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: you why five seasons prior to this. The rate for 616 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: field goals has been eighty four to eighty five percent 617 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: through eleven weeks. The NFL is the worst in sixteen years. 618 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: This season at seventy nine point seven. Two thousand and 619 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 1: three was the last time it was less than eighty percent. 620 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: It was seventy nine point two last five years, eighty 621 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: four percent, eighty four and a half, eighty four point two, 622 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,919 Speaker 1: eighty four point three, eighty four point seven. Now five 623 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: percent drop with something that consistent for five years that's significant. 624 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: That's what's brilliant with the kickers. Do you have a 625 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: theory as to why, yeah, they're missing him. It's not 626 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: a theory. My theory is the extra point's been in 627 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: a longer distance, added just more stress to their game. 628 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: Well there's something too that we used to be automatic 629 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: and not even think about. Now they add that to 630 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 1: the to the game and I think it is wearing 631 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: on them. And the other thing too is the kickoffs. 632 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,359 Speaker 1: Because there is such a premium on putting the ball 633 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: through the end zone. Your technique when you kick off 634 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 1: is not the same as when you do your placements, 635 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,280 Speaker 1: and so they get a lot of these young guys 636 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: with bigger legs who maybe aren't as technically precise because 637 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: they want to have the ability to kick the ball 638 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: through the end zone. The issue is, though, you're having 639 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: some of your veteran dudes missed. I know, and it's 640 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: it's interesting, and again I don't have it. I don't 641 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: have a theory. All I know is is that it 642 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: you used to be well the last five years, I 643 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 1: mean eighty five, it's a pretty good percentage when you're 644 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: out there on the field now as a coach, now 645 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: when you put them out there. This is league wide, 646 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: you're not quite sure. What's brewing with me is that 647 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey is not getting ready to play the Tennessee Titans. 648 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 1: He's getting ready to play the Baltimore Ravens because he 649 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 1: is a member of the Los Angeles Rams. How unusual 650 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: is it that the Smyrna native will not be back 651 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,399 Speaker 1: here as we are used to seeing him, hearing him 652 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: and having him part of every Titans Jaguar's matchup as 653 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 1: an interesting side note to the build up, but then 654 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 1: obviously a big point in the ballgame because he's one 655 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: of the best players in the NFL. He's playing really well. 656 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: He's playing very well. And to Jalen Ramsey, I say, 657 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 1: we love you, we won't miss you this weekend. I 658 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: know Jacksonville still has a fantastic defense, but it will 659 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: be good to not see Jalen Ramsey in teal this 660 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: weekend at Nissan Stadium, Like what's what's brewing by Duncan 661 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 1: our friends? And when we see Klass Campbell this weekend, 662 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: I think there's some questions about him as far as 663 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,279 Speaker 1: the practice. As the act week starts, it doesn't sound 664 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 1: like he's practicing today. Mike might not hurt if he 665 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 1: took the week off well against Kalaia's Campbell. Yeah, no 666 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: doubt about it. Jim White, how do people follow you 667 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: on Twitter?

It's Titans Jacksonville. It's 679 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,839 Speaker 1: always a fight, right Look, this is the last six 680 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 1: weeks of the season. I mean it's every game. It's 681 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,719 Speaker 1: BAC for the Titans right now. I mean it's but 682 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: cleats in the ground. You need to win them. Think 683 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: Derek Henry's a little motivated for this, One would think so. 684 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: And I have a feeling he's gonna get tired answering 685 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,399 Speaker 1: the questions about last year's game against the Jacks at home, 686 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 1: Like just like the first year's matchup, he picked up 687 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 1: steam against Kansas City, only for one eighty eight. It's 688 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: the defense in Jacksonville that's struggled to stop the run. 689 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: I think you got you gotta pounded. The number everyone 690 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,840 Speaker 1: wants to stay away from in this game is nine 691 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: Titans nine penalties for one oh one in the matchup 692 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 1: back in September, allowed nine quarterback sacks. And last weekend 693 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 1: in taking on Indianapolis, Jacksonville forty nine pass attempts drop 694 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: backs if you will. They had forty seven passes and 695 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 1: two sacks, allowed just nine rushes. Jacksonville does not want 696 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,360 Speaker 1: to have a forty nine to nine ratio against Tennessee 697 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 1: this weekend. That's not their formula. No, and Nick Foles, 698 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 1: you coach Nick Foles. Nick Foles was with us. I 699 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: mean Nick Foles had a magical run at Philly. And 700 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: we've talked about this before. I mean Gardner Minshew was 701 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 1: a gunslinger and he was he was a loose cannon 702 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,760 Speaker 1: nick Foles. It's a little harder to fool nick Foles 703 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 1: with what you do back there. He send it all. 704 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: Smart guy, can really manage an offense. We're gonna have 705 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: to work to get him confused. Garner Minshew against Marcus 706 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: Mariotte the first time, this time Ryan Tannehill against Nick Foles. 707 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: So a complete quarterback flip in the space of a 708 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 1: little over two months for jim Y amy Wells and 709 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: also coach David McGinnis. Mike Keys says thank you for 710 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: joining us for this week's edition of theot T Pete
