1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: This is the OTP.

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 2: I'm Ami Wells, joined by Jim Wyatt. Jim, this was

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 2: a big week of news, so we had to bring

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 2: in the heavy hitter in the news department.

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: That would be you are you? Are you happy you

6
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: have that title?

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 3: A busy week, I will say that.

8
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a for those of you who might not

9
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: know if this is your first time engaging with the

10
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans. They have moved on from Brian Callahan as

11
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: their head coach. Mike McCoy is the interim head coach

12
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: here for the Tennessee Titans. He will finish out the

13
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 2: season leading the team. We know that things like this

14
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: happened in the NFL. It happens every year there. It's

15
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: happened to the Titans before. This is not the first

16
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: time it's happened in this organization. However, it really feels

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: like it shakes the ground for the entire organization. What

18
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: have you noticed now that we have gotten through the

19
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: initial news, some media availabilities, a first day of practice,

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: what have you kind.

21
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: Of Yeah, I mean that just kind of the way

22
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 3: the NFL is is. If life goes on and it

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 3: keeps on moving and it never stops you know, you

24
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 3: have a coaching change the middle of the season. A

25
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 3: lot of times, he's most of the time, he's happened

26
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 3: at the end of the year, and uh, we've still

27
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: got eleven football games to go, and which is crazy

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 3: that we're just here in early October with everything that's happened.

29
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 3: But you make a change, you put someone else in place,

30
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 3: as if Mike McCoy. Uh, you had a couple of

31
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 3: departures certainly around him. But as far as the football

32
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 3: team goes, they've got to get ready to play the Patriots,

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: who are going to come in here and try and

34
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: embarrass the Titans on Sunday. Uh, you know, watching practice

35
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 3: on Wednesday and heading out again today. Energy is good,

36
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: players ready to play. Everybody like Brian Callahan, that's from

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 3: from us, from the you know, fellow coaches, obviously, people

38
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: in management, players, but the team just was not getting

39
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: it done, and offensively it's been a struggle. You've kind

40
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: of felt like it was going to happen. At some

41
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 3: point it was just a matter of win, and now

42
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 3: it's happened, and you try to make the most of

43
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: this season, and obviously this team's try to do better

44
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 3: in the years to.

45
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: Come throughout this organization or any organization. Sometimes you can

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: see this moves like this creating a spark or kind

47
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 2: of maybe catching everybody's attention or providing a wake up

48
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: call or rejuvenating something.

49
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: Is that something that you've.

50
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: Noticed that maybe it feels like everybody is a little

51
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: sharper because this is something that has happened.

52
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see. I mean I hate to say that,

53
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 3: and then you could turn out, show up on Sunday

54
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: and get me forty to six. I mean, I'd be

55
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 3: silly to say that. So yeah, I guess we'll get

56
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 3: our answer on Sunday when they kick it off against

57
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: the Patriots. I mean, I think practice has been good.

58
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: I think Cam has got the youthful exuberance about him

59
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: that he always has had since he's been here. I

60
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 3: think players in the locker room have acknowledged that things

61
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 3: have not been going good and something needed to change.

62
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 3: I don't know they necessarily felt like the head coach

63
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 3: needed to change, but you've got to do something. And

64
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 3: so I do think that just like the Jarvis Brownly

65
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 3: trade a couple of weeks ago, you know, these things

66
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 3: are being done to help the football team, whether it's

67
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 3: in the present or in the future, and if you

68
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: don't perform at your job, then there are going to

69
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 3: be consequences. And I think everything that's been done, I

70
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 3: know there have been a lot of changes around here,

71
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: you know since I've been on board, certainly, and this

72
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: is year eleven. You've been here, what fifteen years, So

73
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: you know, when I first started covering this team, Jeff

74
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 3: Fisher as the head coach, Floyd Rees was general managery.

75
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: Just kind of felt like that's the way it always

76
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: is in the league. And then I found out after

77
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: Jeff Fisher and Floyd left that that's not the way

78
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: it is, and it's not the way it's supposed to be.

79
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: You're not to have this many changes. But you know,

80
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: going from since I've been here, from wizen Hunt to

81
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 3: Malarkey to Vrabel to Brian Kyllahan and now Mike McCoy

82
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 3: as the as the interim head coach, and then I

83
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: could go down the same list of gms. All these

84
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: things have been done to try to help this team

85
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 3: be better, and people are not satisfied, and now you

86
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: just got to get it right.

87
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,119
Speaker 2: One of the things that I think is intriguing about

88
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: Mike McCoy is that not only does he have head

89
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 2: coaching experience, but he also has interim head coaching experience.

90
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: So he's been in this exact situation before. You have

91
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 2: to you have to assume that that experience and that

92
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 2: knowledge of what to do in this situation was one

93
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: of the key contributors to him getting this position.

94
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question, and make no mistake that then when

95
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 3: this move was made, Mike McCoy was the plan as

96
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 3: the interim coach. I know there's been some chatter out

97
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: there about, uh, you know, the Titans didn't have a

98
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 3: plan when when they parted ways of Brian Callahan. That's

99
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: one hundred percent false said that before. I know there's

100
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:23,239
Speaker 3: some other speculation out there that people inside the building

101
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 3: didn't know there was a plan. Do I think that

102
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: maybe some people around Brian Callahan were not aware of

103
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: the plan of the plan. Yes, And it's a little

104
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 3: sloppy when you're throwing them out there as your source.

105
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 3: If they don't know the plan, that doesn't mean there's

106
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: not a plan. There was a plan. I think we

107
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: knew from the moment that Brian Callahan was let go,

108
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 3: who the interim coach was going to be You've got

109
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 3: to get you've got to have conversations, you've got to

110
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 3: get a contract worked out. He just doesn't slide into

111
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 3: that job, you know, on the same contract that he

112
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 3: had as an assistant coach. So his responsibilities changed. Some

113
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 3: things have to be done before you can make that announcement.

114
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 3: But he was always going to be the interim coach

115
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 3: one hundred percent, no question about it. And because of

116
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 3: what you said, he has experienced doing it. He had

117
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 3: a relationship with cam Ward. They feel like he's somebody

118
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: who can help come in and steer this ship where

119
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 3: it needs to be. What does that mean moving forward?

120
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 3: I guess we'll start to get some answers on Sunday.

121
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: But I think he's handled this week very well. I

122
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: was very impressed with him with this press conference that

123
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 3: he had on Tuesday. His mediability abilities this week have

124
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 3: been of a confident guy who knows he has a

125
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 3: job to do. He hated to see what happened to

126
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 3: Brian Callahan. That's why he came here. But now they

127
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 3: even trusted him to try to make the best of what,

128
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: let's face it is a bad situation, and I think

129
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 3: his experience.

130
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: When you bring Helman's creamy Buffalo Chicken dip to the

131
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,360

132
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: or be a couch coach, and no one will eject

133
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: you from the game.

150
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: I started this podcast by saying that when there's a

151
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: move like this, it feels like the ground kind of

152
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: starts shaking, and it feels like Mike McCoy has been

153
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: able to stop the shaking and kind of get everything

154
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: back on level ground, and you feel like this team

155
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 2: can now go forward with preparing for the new England Patriots.

156
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, Yeah, I agree, And uh, you know,

157
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 3: and what you're talking about as far as focus and

158
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 3: locking in, and I do think you know, players understand

159
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 3: that this is a job and they have a job

160
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: to do and if you don't do it well and

161
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 3: you don't lock in, and you don't you don't prepare,

162
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 3: then you're going to get embarrassed. And nobody wants that

163
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 3: to happen. It's been a tough enough year as it

164
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: is at one in five and been some pretty lopsided games,

165
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 3: But schedule doesn't lighten up. You get the Patriots this week,

166
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 3: get the Colts coming up after that. You know, you

167
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 3: look at what's on the horizon and this These players

168
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 3: want to win, I mean, and the fans want to

169
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 3: see this team win. And I give credit for the

170
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 3: fans for showing up and supporting this team even during

171
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 3: some tough times, because there were a lot of fans

172
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 3: in Vegas there are a lot of fans in Arizona.

173
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 3: Hopefully there will be some fans show up on Sunday

174
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: in Titans gear. And it's easy to cheer for a

175
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: team when things are going great. It's not as easy

176
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: when they're going like they are right now. I know

177
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: this team has some loyal fans that support them to

178
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: the good and the bad.

179
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: How important is leadership within the locker room going to be?

180
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: And I'm even going to go a step further and

181
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: say leadership from people not named Jeffrey Simmons, because we

182
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 2: know what jeff.

183
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 3: Is going to do. He's been great. I mean I've

184
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 3: watched him since he's been here and just to see

185
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 3: how the impact he has on people around him, you

186
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 3: know best the people on the defensive side of all,

187
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 3: but offensively too. I mean, he tired of losing and

188
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 3: tired of being stuck in the situation the team's in

189
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 3: right now. He's played on good team teams, AFC championship

190
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 3: teams and playoff team, so he wants to get back

191
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 3: to that and he's trying to do his part to

192
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 3: push people around them. But yeah, I think you have

193
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 3: to have others step up. I do think this team

194
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: has some good veteran leaders. Obviously, it's a locker room

195
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 3: made up of a lot of young guys too who

196
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 3: are going through some of this for the first time,

197
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: including the starting quarterback. But these guys have been leaders.

198
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 3: You know, you don't get here to the NFL if

199
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 3: you haven't had a presence about your, accountability about you

200
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: and willingness to work hards. So I think all these

201
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: guys have what it takes to step up and do

202
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 3: better and be better as a unit, and they have

203
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: to have their captains and voices speak up and help

204
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: things in that regard.

205
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: Well, this team is now made up of so many

206
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: people who were captains at the last place they were,

207
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: whether it be in the NFL or in college. I mean,

208
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: this is a team full of leaders. So if this

209
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: group can't find a way to come together and really

210
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: work together to get this thing right, and that's what

211
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: Mike McCoy's been saying from his introductory press conference all

212
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: the way on togetherness, that's the only way we can

213
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: do this.

214
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, because if you don't have that then things could

215
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 3: really get ugly. I mean, let's face it. You know

216
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 3: this team's made a coaching change in season. You know,

217
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: there are a lot of question marks about what's going

218
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: to happen when this season ends, But I can tell

219
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 3: you, you know, if you're a player and you want to

220
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 3: be here long term, then you're kind of this is

221
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 3: time for you to show it and to improve. And

222
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 3: I think you're going to see I think you can

223
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: see guys respond well. And I think as this season

224
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 3: goes on, I think you could potentially see some players

225
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 3: play that haven't played to this point, and that provides

226
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,599
Speaker 3: even more maybe excitement.

227
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, there's definitely some excitement around some of the

228
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 2: people who could be returning to the few, especially one

229
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: rather large gentleman by the name of Tavandre Sweat.

230
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I thought, you know, I thought he looked

231
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 3: good at practice. You know, it's been a tough road

232
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 3: for him this year. He did so much to get

233
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 3: ready for the season, and then he had stuff with

234
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 3: his tonsils in camp and and missed a lot of conditioning.

235
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 3: And then he came back and got geared up for

236
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: the season, got hurt, missed the game, thought he was

237
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 3: coming back against the Colts, reinjured the ankle, and now

238
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 3: he's been put on the shelf for you know, four

239
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 3: weeks now, so it's still unfortunately going to take him

240
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: a while to get back into a rhythm and get

241
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 3: back into good conditioning. But his presence out there should

242
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 3: help the defense. And it's definitely going to help Jeffrey Simmons.

243
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 3: And and you know, you watch jeff and see the

244
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 3: attention that he gets, and you would think that would

245
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 3: benefit to and Andre Sweat. I mean, he's with you

246
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 3: can't double team everybody, so uh so somebody's gonna have

247
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: a little bit more freedom to go. And I think

248
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 3: Sweat probably gonna be that guy, and he's gonna have

249
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 3: to prove he can he can handle it well.

250
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: Shoot.

251
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: With even all the attention that Jeffrey Simmons has been getting,

252
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: he still has four and a half sacks on the season,

253
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: which is tied for the most amongst defensive tackles in

254
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: the entire NFL. He has three straight games with a sack.

255
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy's playing remarkable football despite the fact

256
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 2: that he's he's the guy that everybody is game planning for.

257
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 3: It's incredible, Yeah, it is. And uh, you know he's

258
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 3: he doesn't in practice too. That's the thing is he's, uh,

259
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,239
Speaker 3: he's just relentless with his approach and his attitude and

260
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 3: uh and trying to again inspire people around him. I'm

261
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 3: sure it's frustrating for him. UH, and it's got to

262
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 3: be frustrated for the defense. You know this, This defense

263
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 3: is played well enough for the team to win several

264
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 3: more games aames this year, but the offense just hasn't

265
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 3: held up. It's end of the bargain. And these guys

266
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 3: are playing a lot of weeks, you know, when they're

267
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 3: not getting a lot of help on the other side

268
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 3: of the football, and to keep your edge and to

269
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 3: keep playing hard and those circumstances is not easy. But

270
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: Nick should never question his effort.

271
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the cam Ward of it all, because,

272
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: as you mentioned earlier, Mike McCoy's been working with cam

273
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: all seasons, so there's a familiarity there, there's a consistency there.

274
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: Cam has been very honest about his frustrations with the

275
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 2: way he has been playing, with his frustrations about how

276
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: this team.

277
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: Has been playing.

278
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: And we saw Jason mccordy talking about how that can

279
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 2: actually help a team. Guys respect hearing that from a

280
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: rookie quarterback. Do you think that part of cam Ward's

281
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: leadership skills is that he is going to be honest

282
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: and so you're always going to know where you stand

283
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: with the guy.

284
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you can say the team is blank

285
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 3: if you're throwing yourself into that equation. And he's been

286
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: critical of himself while also trying to hold other guys

287
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 3: accountable and and you know, coaches have kind of told

288
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 3: it like it is to him too. But he needs

289
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 3: to be better and he knows it. And I think

290
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: Cam certainly has the talent, he no question has the desire.

291
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 3: They need to be better around him from a protection

292
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 3: standpoint to players making plays for him, and Cam needs

293
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 3: to settle down and be better himself. I mean, he

294
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 3: the tip ball that resulted in interception on Sunday wasn't

295
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 3: his fault necessarily, but I think he's probably got to

296
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 3: have a little bit more awareness in that situation into

297
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: the half needing a field goal, don't do anything that's

298
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 3: going to take away your chance to score points. And

299
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 3: that's what happened, and then he lost the ball and

300
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 3: a couple of other plays. So technique probably got a

301
00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: little bit sloppy, but it's all part of being an

302
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 3: NFL rookie quarterback and he's just played six games. No

303
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 3: one thought he was gonna step in and just immediately

304
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 3: look like Patrick Mahomes. I mean, he was gonna go

305
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 3: through some ups and downs, and that's kind of what

306
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 3: we're seeing. And he didn't again step into a great

307
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 3: football team. I mean, this is a team that is

308
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 3: rebuilding and not there yet and has some talent to

309
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 3: win more games than one after six. But I think

310
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: he'll be a part of making this team better moving forward.

311
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: Home is at the forefront of all we do.

312
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,000

341
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 2: three of the Halloween things. But I will say my

342
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: children are super into it, so I'm havening to to

343
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: lean into the spooky season even.

344
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: If I don't.

345
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 3: What are the costumes going to be this year?

346
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know.

347
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 2: So my littlest one is going to be Malwana, and

348
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 2: that's pretty pretty set.

349
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: In Stone. She's pretty excited about that.

350
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 2: Oldest was going to be Hall was going to be

351
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 2: a spider Man, until she realized that the costume was

352
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 2: a commitment, like it's a full body suit thing. She

353
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: wasn't really down with that. So we might be pivoting

354
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: to to Tiana Princess and the Frog.

355
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 3: That's good.

356
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: That might be our pivot here. So I mean, stay tuned.

357
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 2: There's still a lot of time left, and with toddlers,

358
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 2: nothing is final until it's final.

359
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 3: Not till love suns starting to go down on the

373
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 2: Christie Coookie. Jimmy Patriots are coming to town, and we

374
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 2: know that is intriguing to people for a lot of reasons,

375
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 2: mainly because of a certain head coach. But I kind

376
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 2: of want to talk about the matchup specifically because the

377
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: Patriots are really kind of finding their groove and it

378
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: feels like they are going to be a tough competitor.

379
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: What do you expect to see out of this team

380
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: on Sunday?

381
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 3: You tell me either Patriots team or the Patriots.

382
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: The Patriots team.

383
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, knowing they're head coach and and

384
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 3: the way he wants his teams to play and the

385
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 3: way they've played this season, I expect them to come

386
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 3: in here feeling really good about themselves. They've been good.

387
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 3: You know, They're win against Buffalo very impressive. They've got

388
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 3: a great young quarterback and Drake May who who I've

389
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 3: been very impressed with. And then just the way they play.

390
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 3: They play hard and they believe that they can win.

391
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 3: And so we'll get to see some familiar faces on Sunday,

392
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 3: but we're certainly familiar with the style that Mike Rabel coaches.

393
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 3: Mike Rabel coach teams play with.

394
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: Do you think that they are doing anything to adjust

395
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 2: their game plan given the new who's within the Tennessee

396
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 2: Titans organization this week?

397
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 3: I don't. I mean, they don't really know what to expect.

398
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 3: And the reality is how much can you change in

399
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 3: a week like because if you try to change too much,

400
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 3: it's gonna make things too difficult for cam Ward and

401
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 3: for the offense. I mean, I think it would be

402
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 3: a process. Could you see some alterations and different approach

403
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 3: and play call and how aggressive you are? Yeah, but

404
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 3: it's not going to be like this team's gonna come

405
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 3: in and switch to a completely different style offense and

406
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 3: to try to catch the Patriots off guard. I think

407
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 3: they probably have a pretty good idea of what Titans

408
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 3: are about based on what they've seen on film for

409
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 3: the first six weeks of the season, and based on

410
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 3: what they've seen, they probably think they can come in

411
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 3: here and win this game pretty handily. And so the

412
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 3: Titans have got to figure out a way to change

413
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 3: the results and to kind of change the perception that

414
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 3: people have of them across the league and uh based

415
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 3: on what we've seen so far as is the Titans

416
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 3: the lowest scoring team in the NFL. You know, lasting yards, lasting,

417
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 3: I think third downs. I was looking at some of

418
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 3: these stats the other day. Yet, I mean it hasn't

419
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 3: been pretty and so times you have to be a

420
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 3: lot more productive offensively to win some games down to stretch.

421
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 3: I think the defense has played hard and giving this

422
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 3: team a chance again, but it's got to be more

423
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 3: a complete effort. And Mike McCoy's talked all about complimentary

424
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 3: football and not making mistakes, and I think that's the

425
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 3: key for the Titans is they've got to They've got

426
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 3: to play more complete games.

427
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and that leads us to the Little Caesars Real

428
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 2: Deal matchup of the game with our very own Keith Bullock.

429
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 4: Here's the deal. Coming at it a little different this

430
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 4: week because this week has been a little different. The

431
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 4: matchup I'm looking for it to see is the Tennessee

432
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 4: Titans versus everybody. Yes, the New England Patriots are coming

433
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 4: to town former coach Mike Vrabel. They have some momentum going,

434
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 4: but that's not what it's about.

435
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 5: I think this week it's about the Titans turning a

436
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 5: page starting New and rallying together as a team against

437
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 5: the New England Patriots to get a win.

438
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 3: This week at.

439
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,600

443
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: Jim Wyatt. Titans versus Everybody is what Keith Bullock said.

444
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: Do you agree that.

445
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 2: That is the matchup of the week or is there

446
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: something a little bit more specific that really catches your eye?

447
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, as far as as far as Sunday, I mean,

448
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 3: I think again, I don't know that I'm looking for

449
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 3: a specific matchup. The biggest challenges is getting some pressure

450
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 3: on may and and getting them in longer down in

451
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 3: distant situations. But I think if the Titans, I think

452
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 3: they what you're looking for is just to see this

453
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,959
Speaker 3: team come out and play some and inspired football. I mean,

454
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 3: I think, uh, that game on Sunday was a massive

455
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 3: disappointment for everybody because you were coming off a win

456
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 3: in Arizona the week before and expect to see the

457
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 3: team build on that momentum and then you go three

458
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 3: and out. With three straight running plays to start the game.

459
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 3: You don't score a point until the game's kind of

460
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 3: out of out of control, and uh and never felt

461
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 3: like the Titans rented. So I think what Titans fans

462
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 3: want to see on Sunday as a team that shows

463
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 3: up ready to play, you know, aggressive, scoring points, playing

464
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: with some energy and may in this a football game

465
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 3: instead of a yawner. And so I think that's what

466
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 3: you're looking for. You know, Patriots are talented, and they've

467
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 3: been better than a lot of people thought they would

468
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 3: be at this stage of the season. But I think

469
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 3: this is all about the Titans and how the Titans

470
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 3: show up and play and whether they're capable of playing

471
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 3: some inspired football with the new head coach.

472
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: The Titans take on the New England Patriots this Sunday.

473
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 2: Kickoff for that game is at noon.

474
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: It's at Nissan Stadium.

475
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: The Titans haven't been home in what feels like an eternity. Jim,

476
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 2: how excited are you that your commute to Nissan Stadium

477
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 2: is substantially shorter than your commute to say Las Vegas.

478
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 3: I know it has been quite a haul. You're right, Houston, Arizona,

479
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 3: Vegas back to back to back. Last time was September

480
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 3: the twenty first against the Colts. That seemed like forever ago.

481
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: We were whole different people back then. Yeah, I know,

482
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: we really were.

483
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: We were eating Macadamian nut cookies back then, I guess

484
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 3: chocolate chunk, So we weren't talking about Halloween back then either.

485
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 3: So yeah, it'll be good to be back home, go

486
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 3: on the road again next weekend, but then we'll be

487
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: home for the next three home games with a bus

488
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 3: sandwiches in between. So for the next five at home,

489
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 3: a chance to kind of try to get a little

490
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 3: bit of momentum win some games. But it all starts

491
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 3: on Sunday with the Patriots coming to town.

492
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely, if you're heading out to Nissan Stadium, one thing

493
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 2: you should know it is the Titans Crucial Catch game.

494
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 2: So Crucial Catch is a campaign that you see every year.

495
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: The league really leans into it. It supports everything from

496
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 2: cancer survivors, to people who are actively going through treatment

497
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 2: and recovery, to those people who support people who have

498
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 2: cancer and are dealing with whatever form of cancer that

499
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 2: may be. The Titans are doing all kinds of things

500
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: this week in honor of Crucial Catch Week. They are

501
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 2: serving everybody from kids who are struggling with pediatric cancer.

502
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: To nurses, to doctors to I mean they are all

503
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: over the place.

504
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 2: So that will definitely be something that you will see

505
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 2: this week in the form of merchandise and insignia and

506
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 2: different activations crucial catch. Every year, it feels like it

507
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 2: just gets bigger and bigger, but the amount of awareness

508
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: that it raises and it's promotion, especially for like screening

509
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 2: and things huge.

510
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, And you see people walk around the buildings

511
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 3: with kind of the play for shirts, which is great,

512
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 3: you know, bringing awareness to their loved ones who are

513
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 3: dealing with cancer, who have dealt with cancer, who have

514
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 3: they've lost to cancer, and certainly is a moment of

515
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 3: reflection for those people. I think about Dreill Williams, you know,

516
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 3: former Titans assistant who is with the Patriots, who had

517
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 3: to step away because of his own body with cancer.

518
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 3: You know, think about him, you know, during a week

519
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 3: like this too, because he's such a great guy. So

520
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 3: that affects so many people, and and it's nice to

521
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 3: to bring awareness and spread message messaging to help other people.

522
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: Down the road.

523
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: So anyway, that is something that you will notice, No

524
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 2: doubt when you come out to Nissan Stadium this Sunday again.

525
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 2: Kick off for that game is at noon. Titans Radio

526
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,679

527
