I've seen people talking about 11 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: you on social media now using that Jim. Do you 12 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: feel like that acronym has a little too many continents? 13 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: Don't feel like any of the vowels somewhere in there? 14 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: Tg j W. Yeah, that's true. Where's Van of White 15 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: when you need her? That's how I'm feeling. Maybe that's 16 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: what we make it less clunky. Van of White not well, 17 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: Vana hug makes everything better. But I was thinking more 18 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 1: just like a vowel. Maybe we should buy a vowel 19 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,559 Speaker 1: for Jim. Sure, let's do that, all right, So, moving 20 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: very long to the program. We are week removed from 21 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: the Titans last game. In case you missed it, Titans thirty, 22 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: Jaguars nine, Derrick Henry AFC Offensive Player of the Week 23 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: seventeen rushes three or two hundred thirty eight yards, four touchdowns. 24 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: It's one of the highest totals in NFL history for 25 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: a player with under twenty carries. It is the highest 26 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: total in franchise history in rushing two hundred and thirty 27 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: eight yards. His ninety nine yard touchdown run ties the 28 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: longest in NFL history with Anthony Dorset from Aliquippa, PA, 29 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: better known as Tony Dorset of the Dallas Cowboys, and 30 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: four touchdowns ties the franchise record. It was a night 31 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: for history for day Henry, and I mean you could 32 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: just go on and on with what his performance was like. 33 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: Jim Whitt, did you ever see it coming? It was crazy. 34 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: It was one of those nights, you know, Dwight spradling 35 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: in me or relation sits behind me on game days, 36 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: and uh, he comes up with nuggets and and stats 37 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: that you don't know where he comes up with these things. 38 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 1: It was one of those nights where he's Okay, well, 39 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: Derreck Ken, you just did this. He just did this. 40 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: He's nine away from doing this, so uh, and that 41 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: just was going on all game. It was an incredible 42 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: performance by him and U one of the best performances 43 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: ever U in that stadium. And uh, you know, Chris 44 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: Johnson obviously had some great days. You know, Eddie George 45 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: had some great days in that stadium. But what Derrick 46 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: Henry did, especially early when he was just racking up 47 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: yards by the bunches, it was it was remarkable. Well, 48 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: and I think to the opponent, Yeah, the third rated 49 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: defense in the league, the seemingly impenetrable Jacksonville Jaguars, who 50 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:09,399 Speaker 1: were just coming off a shutout of Indianapolis, I don't 51 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: know what else to say. I mean, the guy the 52 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: ninety nine yard run was something to behold, but he 53 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: just kept going all night. If you take out the 54 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: ninety nine yard run, it's still a great performance. And 55 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: that's what surprised me so much about this game specifically, 56 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: as we're used to, especially in games where you're getting 57 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: a lot of the run, you're used to one big 58 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: flash play and then you kind of grind it out 59 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: for a while and it's smaller place, smaller place. This 60 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: just felt like it was constantly flowing and Derrick Henry 61 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: playing against his hometown team was just something to be seen. 62 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: But it was just so much fun. And we say 63 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,839 Speaker 1: every time that when we play the Jags, you never 64 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: know what's going to happen. And I'm glad that is 65 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: what happened. And what's crazy is it's brought out and 66 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: we know, we all you know, love Henry's impact on 67 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: this team and he's such a competitor, has been since 68 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: he arrived Tier as a Heisman Trophy winner. But his sorts, 69 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: of course, has brought out of the the conversation, well, you 70 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: should have been doing this all year. This is what 71 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,839 Speaker 1: happened to give the guy the ball twenty twenty five 72 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: times a game. He did most of this in ten carries, 73 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: I mean at the start of the game, ten to 74 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: twelve carries. And the reason why maybe this didn't happen 75 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: earlier in the season is because he admitted that maybe 76 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: he didn't run as effectively or do the things that 77 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: he needed to do earlier on to be effective. I mean, 78 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: he's a guy that ripped his own play throughout the 79 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: first half of the season, calling it trash. So what 80 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: we saw on Thursday was a whole nother level from him, 81 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: and now the team has got to figure out a 82 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: way to keep that going. It's not gonna be easy. 83 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: I mean, you're not gonna get performances like that. But 84 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: if you can just get him to run with that 85 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: same aggression and have that same success on some of 86 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: the carries, no matter how many carries he gets it, 87 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: it's a game changer. Emmy Wells is studying something. What 88 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: are you studying? Oh, I'm just looking some things up 89 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: right now. Don't worry about Sorry, We're sorry to throw 90 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: you that way. A lot of interesting stats have come out. 91 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: You know. It's a second leading rushing performance in NFL. 92 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: It's actually the third the third leading rushing performance in 93 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: NFL history by a Heisman Trophy winner. The top two 94 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: were done by the same man. Can you guess who 95 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: that is? That's a good question, Um, Adrian Peterson, Warrenthal, 96 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: James Simpson, All man, you guys, that is my guy. 97 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: That was my childhood, he wrote, O. J. Simpson two 98 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: seventy three and two fifty. Okay, we're the two highest 99 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: buy heisper Trophy. The other thing, too, is the yards 100 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: after contact stat, which is a great stat on Derrick 101 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: Henry anyway, which has been great. I mean, he's been 102 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: super all year up to two point eight. And I 103 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: mean the guy they're gonna face this week, Saquon Barkley 104 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: at two point four, another fantastically talented back. So you 105 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: know you're gonna you're gonna see it. You're gonna see 106 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: some power in this game this week at MetLife Stadium, 107 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: the Titans and the Giants with some power backs coming 108 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: at you. This also seems like a week two where 109 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: a guy like Dion Lewis could explode because you're not 110 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: expecting it. Yeah, and he was big on the first series, 111 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: Yes he was, and uh, you know it'd be curious 112 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: to sell. Mean, I keep keep looking at the weather 113 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: forecast in New York and it keeps changing from day 114 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: to day. And now it looks like this morning rains 115 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: back in the forecast, which you wonder how much that's 116 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: going to impact the game plan and what the game 117 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: might end up looking like. And maybe it's a game 118 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: where you need to pound the football again, depending on 119 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: what it is. I was like the Texans Jets game 120 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: the day before is definitely going to be a wet one. 121 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: I'm hoping it clears out for Sunday, But right now 122 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: it doesn't look like it doesn't. Saturday ninety nine percent 123 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: chance of rain high forty seven, Sunday nine percent chance 124 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: of rain high forty four. Well, that doesn't sound like fun. 125 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: It doesn't sound great. That's a good day to be 126 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: on the sideline, on the sidelines, those days where everything's 127 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: in a plastic baggie and you're just waiting for it 128 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: to end. You know who wouldn't mind being on the sidelines. 129 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: My dog Major, He loves the rain and time for 130 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: our major moment of the game. Major come to the game. 131 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: He would come to it. He would say, there is 132 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: is a puppy where he completed his positive dog training. 133 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: He was he competed, he completed his minor back. That's 134 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: what I thought about getting another dog and naming the 135 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: dog minor. Am I in e R like a coal miner? 136 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: You know, I thought that would be kind of an 137 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: interesting twist. But they showed the picture of him with 138 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: the certificate where he completed his positive dog training. Wasn't 139 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,679 Speaker 1: five minutes later he ate the certificates. Yes, one hundred 140 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: percent trick on hundred percent tro He is quite the performer, 141 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: all right. So the major moment of the game. All 142 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: three of us have to pick one. And of course, 143 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: because the great Jim Wyatt is on the show, we 144 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: have a qualifier. Of course, in everything Jim Wyatt does, 145 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: there is a qualifier, and we like to make Jim 146 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: cof We like to it truly is try to create 147 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: your You can kind of frame it the way you want, 148 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: frame it the way you want it too. Well, so 149 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: we did not let anybody pick the ninety nine yard run. 150 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: Can we show it anyway? Well, sure we can show 151 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: it again, like can we show the ninety nine yard 152 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: run again on the video on the video version and 153 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: check out Michael Michael Pruitz block on this play. Uh starting, 154 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,719 Speaker 1: I lost him in the screen, but he brocks the 155 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: guy all the way the twenty yard line and then 156 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: there Henry goes to work. You know who nearly gets 157 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: stiff armed. Here, Corey Davis. Watch this, he turns around, 158 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: he nearly gets stiff armed. He's like, I want to 159 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: hit everybody. Corey Davis nearly got it, by the way. 160 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: Corey Davis will be our guest on Pinnacle Financial Partners 161 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: Titans Tonight with Keith Bullock, presented by Yeeha Brewing Company 162 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: tonight at six going to be fine on Titans Radio 163 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: one h four five Zone in Nashville. So we've shown 164 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: the ninety nine yard run. That was a pretty major moment. 165 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: That was that was the major. It does not qualify 166 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 1: because Jim Wyatt has qualifiers. So let's uh, I'll tell 167 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: you what. Let's let Amy Wells go first. What is 168 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: your major moment of the game. I think mine wins, 169 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: so you guys don't even have to participate. It's the 170 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: goal line stand. It has to be. And especially for 171 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: Rashawn Evans, what a huge play for him. It was 172 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: just everything about it was so great and I think 173 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: that that was one of the most pivotal points of 174 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: the game. Just telling it was such a statement. I win. 175 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: There were helpers there too. I mean we got there. 176 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: I don't think now Rashan made the play, but I 177 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: don't think four nets getting in because there's bayed. It 178 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: also looked like Austin Johnson did a really good job 179 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: as well, but the tight certainly had penetration. Evans beating 180 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: Shatley inside just as a fantastic play. There's logan that 181 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: you see the bottom of the pile. Buyard is at 182 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 1: the bottom of the pile. Vicaro's gonna get there. Well done. 183 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: It was a great play by the entire defense for Rashawn. 184 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: What it said to me was, this is a kid 185 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: who is getting it. You know. That was the moment 186 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: where you saw all of his preparation, all of the 187 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: hard times that he's had at the beginning of the season, 188 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: everything kind of came to that pinnacle moment and it 189 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: was just it was just a good play. I can't 190 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: remember a rookie first round pick who has started off 191 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: as slowly and then come on as fast as Rashawn Evans. 192 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: Maybe Albert Haynesworth. Yeah, And I sometimes when I think 193 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: about Rashawn Evans, it reminds me of Keith Bullet too, 194 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: just because he was a first round pick and because 195 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: it was used so much, kind of on special teams 196 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: in the situations at the end of the year. Yeah, 197 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: And I guess he started making an impact at the beginning. 198 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: You're I mean, you're you're right as far as he 199 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: was ahead of where Keith it was. I mean, Keith 200 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: made some plays toward the end of his rookie season, 201 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: but Rashaan Evans is as arrived on the scene and 202 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: uh making a huge impact. Now, mine is actually a 203 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: defensive play and it's a rookie and it's a linebacker. 204 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: It's an outside linebacker Sharif Finch. But it's also and 205 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: let's not forget because Finch makes the end of the play. 206 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: The guy who gets there and makes it happen is 207 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 1: Jarrell Casey. Jarell Casey with a big sack of the quarterback. 208 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: And you'll see Casey he comes through and there he is, 209 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: and there's Finch getting the help and he gets credit 210 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: for the sack as he rips the ball out of 211 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: Kessler's arms and then recovers hit himself. Finch. I'm telling you, 212 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: I think Finch is gonna be a really nice player 213 00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: for this organization. He's heavy, you know, at two fifty pounds. 214 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: He can play the run, He's got some some quicks 215 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: off the edge, some explosion, and he has the presence 216 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: of mind to go in and and know what to do. 217 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: The Titans need a lot more of that in these 218 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: last three ball games. How about some more takeaways like that? 219 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: So that's that's my major moment of the game. And 220 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: that was another good one. And I like what Finches 221 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: doing him. I liked the way he's played, and obviously 222 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: he worked himself into a position where he's active on 223 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: Sundays when they've put you know, Korea as an inactive 224 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 1: when you have to start making decisions. Obviously, thanks you 225 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: change this week the Brian Racpo dealing with an injury. 226 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: But Finches has made him look smart by being productive 227 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: when he's got an opportunities. Finches up to eighteen tackles 228 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: on the year, one and a half sacks, a forced fumble, 229 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: a recovered fumble, and seven special teams tackles. He was 230 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: tied for first, but Trawick had two more, and then 231 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: Bates had won. So Trowick at nine shoal teams tackles. 232 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: He's a pro bowler, so not surprising. Baits the special 233 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: teams captain with eight special teams tackles. But Bates, I 234 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 1: should say Finch, who has not been playing special teams 235 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: until just the last few weeks with seven, doing a 236 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: nice job there. And what about Joshua Kalu with the 237 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: special tackles, so good for him, for him, all right, 238 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: Jim White, my major moment happened late in the game, 239 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: and uh, you know certainly this this I'm dating all 240 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: the way back to last year when the Jaguars came 241 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: in here, the big bad Jaguars on a role. This 242 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: team was getting ready to go to the AFC Championship game. 243 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: It's brash, does a lot of talking. Let's you can 244 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: know about it when things are going good. Well, things 245 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: didn't go good for them on Thursday at Nissan Stadium. 246 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: We saw what the goal line play was huge. The 247 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry stiff arms were huge. The Titans dominated this game, 248 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: dominate up front, and late in the game, Taylor One 249 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: and Jalen Ramsey cross pass and Taylor One kind of 250 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: stuck his helmet out. I don't even know if he 251 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: made contact. It was very light and Jalen Ramsey flopped 252 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: to the ground. I don't know if he's trying to 253 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: draw a penalty or what he was doing necessarily. But uh, 254 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: I thought this moment right here kind of showed you 255 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: where things stood between the Titans and the Jaguars for now. 256 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: The Jaguars certainly the tailor of one playing the violin, 257 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: and uh that's that's where the Jaguars are now doing 258 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: a lot of talk and let you know when things 259 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: are going good, when things are going bad, that's what 260 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: you get. That might be the worst flop in the 261 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: NFL this year. That was terrible. Yep, that would be 262 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: a technically yeah, I mean it was. It was cheap. 263 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: It was embarrassing for him, like, come on, Jaalen, you're 264 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: better than that. Really, it wasn't even good. If you're 265 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: gonna do it, put your back into it a little bit. 266 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: He just kind of like crumbled down, throw yourself to 267 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: the ground. They called him for a penalt for how 268 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: bad that was. Yeah, embarrassing. All right, So those are 269 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: the major moments of the game. Let's take a look 270 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: at the playoff picture and where the Titans are in 271 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: all of this. And it got better. It didn't get best. 272 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: Let's just put it that. What would you not say, 273 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: that's right? Good? Grammatically I don't think it was well. 274 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: But my point was you could go to a best 275 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: scenario and that would have been New England finishing off Miami. Uh, 276 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: that probably would have been Houston beating Indianapolis, although we 277 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: can debate that one um. But in the one that's 278 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: gotten really wild is Pittsburgh. Yes, Pittsburgh has lost three 279 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: straight games and they've got New England and then at 280 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: New Orleans and the Cincinnati who they'll beat. But I 281 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: mean there's Pittsburgh very conceivably is going to go from 282 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: seven two and one and a two and a half 283 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: game lead in their division to eight seven and one 284 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: and out of the playoffs. It's crazy. It's good for 285 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: the Titans because Baltimore, even if they lose to the 286 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: Chargers on the night of the twenty second, they play 287 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: the night game on Saturday, after the Titans play Washington 288 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: at three thirty, even if they lose that game, if 289 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: Baltimore finishes nine and seven, they win the division. Or 290 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: if they win all three of those games, they win 291 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: the division. And then suddenly the Titans don't have to 292 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: worry about a tiebreaker with Baltimore because they're a division winner. Right, 293 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: that's good news. Yes, the rest of it the if 294 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: you're not, if you're a Titan fan and you're not 295 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: a Viking fan this week, you need to be one 296 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: because you need for Minnesota to beat Miami. That needs 297 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: to happen Indianapolis. You know, potentially you can take care 298 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: of that business yourself. If you're the Titans. It could 299 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: come down to the Titans at nine and six and 300 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 1: the Colts at nine and six on December thirtieth at 301 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: noon at Nissan Stadium for the last playoff spot, which 302 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: would be pretty exciting. But if Dallas were to beat 303 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: him this week wouldn't be the end of the world. 304 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: Of course, the Titans at the Giants Washington and Indianapolis 305 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: and then Denver having lost to San Francisco is probably 306 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: on the outside looking in. You can get in at 307 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: nine and seven, but it's going to take several things. 308 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: And that's why when we talk about the Titans, is 309 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: there a possibility of them getting in at nine and seven. Yes, 310 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 1: it's just like twelve things have to happen or ye, 311 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: ten things. I mean, it's a lot. If they want 312 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: to really get in the way to handle it is 313 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: to win out. Yeah, and I thought it was a 314 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 1: good day. I mean, you're right, and that it could 315 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: have been better. The only thing that would have made 316 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: it better, I think my mind was New England finishing 317 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: that game off, and they had so many opportunities to 318 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: do it. But I was worried about Denver because of 319 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: their schedule coming up and because that last game gains 320 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: a charger. You just don't know what their playoffs situation 321 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: is gonna be like so for them to lose against 322 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers was a big bonus. As you 323 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: mentioned Pittsburgh, for them to lose against Oakland and make 324 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: that a possibility where your Titans are really needing a 325 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: Miami loss in either of a Baltimore and Pittsburgh loss 326 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: at this point, that was huge. And for the longest 327 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: time I thought the Ravens were gonna beat the Chiefs. 328 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: I mean, the Chiefs had to pull one out of 329 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: hide a couple of different times to win that game. 330 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: So I thought it was a really good Sunday and 331 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: and I kind of thought it was better. And it's 332 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: funny we can look at this. We'll mean, when we 333 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: look back at this and a couple of weeks from 334 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: now and think that the other result would have been better. 335 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: But I thought it was better that the Colts won, 336 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: just because it does keep the AFC South Division hopes alive. Well, 337 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: and you make the point Houston is at the New 338 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: York Jets. They'll actually be games on back to back 339 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: days at MetLife Stadium. Houston plays the Jets on Saturday. 340 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: A Jets win with Sam Darnold back, potentially if the 341 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: Titans can win there, the next day over the Giants. 342 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: The Titans are back within a game, right, so you're 343 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: you're still in the division picture theoretically, by the way, 344 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: they say they have to turn over in the space 345 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: of seven less than seventeen hours, twelve hundred different things 346 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 1: to convert that from a Jets stadium to a Giant stadium. 347 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: Turnover things just like banners, than repaint the field. Well, 348 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: they're not going to repaint the field because of the rain. 349 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: There's going to be nothing in the end zones due 350 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: to the To listen to you, that was good. How 351 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: you did that. Thank you. Speaking of Titans players, well 352 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: maybe maybe some Jets players. Yeah, that wouldn't be bad too. 353 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: Some Jet roster moves for the Titans. Yes, lose two 354 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 1: offensive starters this week. John U Smith gone for the year. 355 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: Jack Conklin gone for the year. Two. That just break 356 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: my heart. I know Jack coming back from the big 357 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: injury last year. He worked so hard during training. Tom 358 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: makes me sad. John Wu was having such a good season. 359 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: He was really coming into his own. He was getting 360 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: into his groove. I mean big part of the pass game. Yeah, 361 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: he had. He had gone into Delaney territory in terms 362 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: of the fact that he didn't put up those kind 363 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: of numbers, but he was blocking, playing all those plays 364 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: like Delaney and starting to catch the ball and score 365 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: some touchdowns. And you waited eight weeks, nine weeks, and 366 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: now that's gone. Yeah, you know that element that you 367 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: lost in week one, you started to get back a 368 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: semblance of it. Not the same thing. Not saying he's 369 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: a pro bowler, but he was playing really well. And 370 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: I had done an interview with him from Monday Night Live, 371 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: and he was talking about how he finally felt like 372 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: he could help out in a lot of different areas 373 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: and he felt like he could fill some of the 374 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: holes that he was being expected to fill, and gosh, 375 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: it just makes me so sad for him. But I 376 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: will say this. I mean that we've seen in recent 377 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: weeks some of the depths kind of coming to its 378 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: own a little bit. You know, Luke Stocker, you know 379 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: what you're getting from him. He's going to continue to 380 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: have a big role as a blocker. Michael Pruth though, 381 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: I think in as far as in the running game 382 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: and as a blocker, I think he's really developed. He's 383 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: made a couple of catches in recent weeks and of 384 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 1: course Anthony Ferster, who's become a little bit of a 385 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: fan favorite, you know, and then you get there in 386 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: a quarterback favor too, when you throw the guys passes 387 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: and he catches every one of them. You're going to 388 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: do that In the Roster movie you mentioned Cole Wick 389 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: signed he takes time off from driving the number seventy 390 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: one dunkin Donuts NASCAR. Yes, he's he's now a tip three. 391 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: It's cold Wick, right, und cold Trickle. So a big, 392 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: big boy, six six man. I saw him in the 393 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: in the dining room the other night as I was 394 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: walking to the car. He's he was wearing eighty five 395 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: in practice yesterday. I think he's his real number is 396 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: going to be eighty nine. And he was just an 397 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: incredibly large man eating a big plate of meat. Yeah, 398 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: I mean it was just kind of that's it. Yeah. 399 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a good blocker out of Incarnate Word 400 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: in San Antonio, Texas and played for Detroit left Detroit, 401 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: was picked up by San Francisco and played for them, 402 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: and then they had him on the practice squad and 403 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: the Titans signed him off the practice squad. It's crazy. 404 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: I was not even familiar with incarnate Word is funny 405 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: how things work out. Uh. I noticed that Lsu Jeff 406 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: Harding's alma Monited played Incarnate Word in a Cup game 407 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: earlier this week, and I was going to give him 408 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: a hard time about them scheduling incarnate Word. And then 409 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: the Titans end up signing a guy from there, I 410 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: think the very next day. So he's out of the 411 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: high school class. He went to a Catholic school in 412 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: a small Texas town about one hundred miles east of 413 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 1: San Antonio. It sounds like a country song, it does 414 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: with cole Wick. He'll be performing at the Bluebird. Oh 415 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,360 Speaker 1: my gosh, that's a great name and he's a great 416 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: But anyway, he was in a high school graduating class 417 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: of twenty six intimate. Yes, he was sitting at his locker. 418 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: You know. Of course, the Titans play a Thursday game 419 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: when you have injuries and you kind of get a 420 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: little bit of a headstart on looking ahead. So he was. 421 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: He was on the San Francisco's practice squad, sitting in 422 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: his locker before the forty nine ers played the Broncos 423 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: on Sunday, and that's when he found out that the 424 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: Titans were going to sign him. I guess, and that 425 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: he was at that point wondering if at the forty niners, 426 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: we're gonna do something to try to keep him or 427 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 1: or you know, sometimes you can you know, gems will 428 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: work something. Will they'll pay your pay your salary right 429 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: like an active roster and guarantee. So I think he 430 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: was wondering what was going to happen. It turns out 431 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: that the you know, the Titans get him, and uh see, 432 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: he comes here back on the fifty three. He was 433 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: on the fifty three with the Lions for a point 434 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: in two thousand, uh sixteen, I believe. And how much 435 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: he plays, whether he's active on Sunday, I guess, we'll 436 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: kind of remain to be seen. But he's a blocker, yep. 437 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: That's he's caught two passes for eighteen yards in his 438 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: NFL career. But he's more of that blocking. But he's 439 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: very athletic. Watching him in practice yesterday, you know we 440 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: can use blockers absolutely. The other edition is Austin Pastor, 441 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 1: who's a big tackle. And this is a guy he's 442 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: he's Canadian. He goes to Fork Union, he does well 443 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: at Fork Union Academy and signs with Virginia. He's a 444 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 1: four year starter for the Cavalier second team All America's selection. 445 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: Signed in the NFL by Minnesota. That doesn't work out out, 446 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: so he ends up in Jacksonville on their practice squad 447 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: and eventually becomes a starter in Jacksonville. Jacksonville cuts him, 448 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: he goes to Cleveland, becomes a starter in Cleveland, and 449 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 1: then in twenty seventeen he's with Atlanta. Atlanta cut him 450 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: at the end of training camp, and now he's here 451 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: and he's a guy who has started at right tackle, 452 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: he's played guard. He's six seven three oh five, so 453 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: he's kind of that range. He sort of guy, and 454 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: with Dennis Kelly out of practice yesterday for family reasons, 455 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: he was taking reps and looked like he knew exactly 456 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: what he's doing. He started against the Titans multiple times, 457 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: which is the irony of signing someone like that in 458 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: the NFL. Sometimes a guy who's been your opponent is 459 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: now your friend, right oh the NFL? Yes, well, and 460 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: the good news is he has long flowing locks like 461 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 1: Dennis Kelly, so they can share conditioner. Could be a 462 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: good tag team in the wrestling that's right, well, I 463 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: mean the group now I mean this group of office. Okay, 464 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: so he got group. Well, listen to this. Listen to 465 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: this Lawan six seven three oh nine. Merits is six 466 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: seven three sixteen h and Merits may be taller than that. Quisenberry. 467 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,360 Speaker 1: David Quissinberry on the practice squad is six five uh, 468 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: Dennis Kelly is six eight three twenty one. Austin Pastor 469 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: is six seven three oh five. So they have four linemen, 470 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,959 Speaker 1: at least four linemen who are six seven or above. Juliet, 471 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 1: do you think we're sandbagging on Mark Merits his height 472 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: just when he shows up on Sunday teams? Oh, this 473 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 1: guy's a lot taller than Oh. I don't think that. 474 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,719 Speaker 1: I just think he I just think when he walks 475 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: down the hall he often looks like the tallest one 476 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: the old eyeball test. Yes, yeah, what do I know? 477 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 1: All right, let's get into Wednesday practice. Wednesday practice pads yep, 478 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: maybe the last pad a practice of there are some 479 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: popping Yeah, I mean it's like, oh, it's December the twelfth, 480 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: and we got pads on. How about that kind of 481 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: coach is excited. Everybody's excited to chill in the air. 482 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: December football. A good padded practice is sometimes what you 483 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: need to get the blood flowing. Coach gets excited out there. Uh, 484 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: doesn't take a lot to get him excited. When they 485 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: put the pads on you. That seems to crank it 486 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: up a little bit. When is he not excited? He 487 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: just loves to coach football. He just the guy just 488 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: rolls all the Time's awesome he does no matter what happens, 489 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: he shows up the next day ready to roll. And uh, 490 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: you know, he definitely brings some intensity to the practice field. Well, 491 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: the Titans are going to need physicality this week, that's 492 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,719 Speaker 1: for sure. I mean, that is that is going to 493 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: happen because these giants at five and eight are are 494 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 1: just not that team at this moment. They are a 495 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: team that really is one four of their last five 496 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's about what you are at this moment. 497 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: It's not necessarily what you are for the accumulation of 498 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: three months or four months or whatever. It's what you 499 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 1: are at this moment. And what they are at this 500 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: moment is a very hot, very physical football team that 501 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: has been making a lot of things happen. Yeah, I mean, 502 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: you would like to play a team that's kind of 503 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: faded out at this point, and a couple of weeks 504 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: ago it looked like the Giants might be that team. 505 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: But now, as you mentioned one, four out of five 506 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: starting to get things going on offense, feeling like they've 507 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: got a chance to still hang around in the playoff race. 508 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: So it's a hungry team. You're not going up there 509 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: for any their favorite to win this game over the Titans, 510 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: all right, And that leads us directly into our Amy 511 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: Wells Wonders segment of the program. Jim Wyatt just kind 512 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: of taking this whole thing over now here. Well I 513 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: saw I was looking at the script beforehand. But at 514 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: least at least he doesn't have these fine pictures. That's true. 515 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: They were taking at Silver Dollars City. They weren't. They 516 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: were taking at Saint Thomas Sports Part nice all right, 517 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: So is that gonna be the Christmas card this year 518 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: from Amy Wills? That's gonna be the Christmas card from 519 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,479 Speaker 1: the OTP. I'm sending it to everybody and signing your 520 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: guys all seven people who listen, get that everybody. Everybody 521 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: will listen, all right? So what is Amy Wells Wonders 522 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: this week? I am wondering why the Titans are underdogs 523 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: going into this game. Yesterday they were two point five 524 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: point underdogs. Today I checked it during the show. They 525 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: are now three point underdogs to the New York Giants. 526 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: And I want to know why. And I must say, 527 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: full disclosure, I know nothing about betting on don't either. 528 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: I don't know a thing about lines. I don't know 529 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: what the line is. I don't know what the line means. 530 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know any well you know 531 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: what it means, well, I know sort of. But the 532 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: point is, no matter what the line is or the 533 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: mechanics of it, take all that out. What you're saying 534 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: is why why are they supposed to beat the Titans 535 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: this week? When the Titans have won two in a 536 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: row and have a better record. I think it's because 537 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: this is such a hot team. Okay, I just I 538 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: mean to me, solely on momentum, that's what I think. 539 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: And you get. And I know a little bit about 540 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: uh wagering for my days in college. Those days left 541 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: me when I got out of college. But Jim Dusley 542 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: goes out the night before a game. I saw somewhere 543 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: he was invited to a party again. Oh my god, Yes, 544 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: did you You're invited to a tailgate? Well, I kind 545 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: of helped spread the word about this tailgate. The group 546 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: is gathering, and I thought I let let him know. 547 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: I think it's a lot el on on Sunday morning. 548 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: Uh in outside MetLife Stadium, where Titans fans are going 549 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: to gather. Oh gosh, he can't helping himself. But they're 550 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: gonna be gathering in the rain. Looks like so good 551 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: for them. That doesn't stop serious tale games. Yeah, But 552 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: to answer your question, I think it's because they mean 553 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: they've won four out of five. They should have won 554 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: the game they lost. They lost twenty two. They lost 555 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: twenty five to twenty two, and they led that game 556 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: playing Philadelphia. They should have won it. They've been scoring 557 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: like crazy. Nobody can stop them. They're turning the ball 558 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: over on defense for their offense, I mean they are. 559 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: They are nothing like what their overall record says. And 560 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: I'm not doing coach speak. I'm not a coach. I 561 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: don't have to. I'm just telling you in watching them 562 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: and reading about them and looking at the stats, and 563 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: in particular, what this se Quon Barkley is doing. Oh 564 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: my goodness, and because he's doing so well and they're 565 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: committing to him and they're blocking Eli Manning's not getting 566 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: you know, just choke slammed eight nine times a game 567 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: and suddenly he's playing well again. In the last five game, 568 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: ten touchdowns, just two interceptions for Eli Manning and I 569 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: think he's thrown for like two fifteen a game, so 570 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: enough but not too much. And then getting off the 571 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: court getting after the quarterback a little bit after not 572 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: doing it at all or in the season is a 573 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: ridiculous stat about. You know, they had ten sicks. They 574 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: need to look at it better through the first ten 575 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: to eleven games, and now they've got that same amount 576 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,719 Speaker 1: in the last two. Usually get the whole team, usually 577 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: gets a three point edge, and when you start putting 578 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: the lines out there, so I think Vegas sees these 579 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: teams is pretty evenly matched. I think it's also, hey, 580 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: we will see more from the Titans before we believe, 581 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: because this has been a team that's been inconsistent, looked 582 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: really good some weeks and other weeks, especially on the road, 583 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: laid a couple of eggs and you know, the Houston 584 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: Games team lost by seventeen the game before that on 585 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: the road, lost thirty eight to ten to the Colts. 586 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: You know, lost him Buffalo. So the results on the 587 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 1: road have not been great for this team a lot 588 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: of sundays. I think that probably factors as well. And 589 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: they did a nice job on four Net and Company 590 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: the other night in terms of the run game, But 591 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: this is a defense for the Titans that has had 592 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: I mean Lamar Miller, yeah, I mean they gave up, 593 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: you know, one hundred and fifty something yards rushing to 594 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: the Jets. So you kind of piece those two things together, 595 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: and the Titans have to prove that they have now 596 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: figured out how to do this run defense thing. If 597 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: they have, then you know, I said at midyear when 598 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: we did the buy that I thought the key to 599 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: the second half of the season was run defense and 600 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: running the football. And I still believe that. And if 601 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: they have answers and they can run the football, I 602 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: think they I think they can blow through these last 603 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: three games, pick up wins, and go to the playoffs. 604 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: But I think it's fundamentally that much of a key 605 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: to how they're built. I think the run game is 606 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: a big deal to play action in this offense. I 607 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: don't think this coaching staff wants to throw it sixty 608 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: times a game. I don't think they're built to do that. 609 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: I don't think that philosophically is what they want to do. 610 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 1: And then defensively, if you can't stop the run, it 611 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: doesn't make any difference. People are just gonna keep cramming 612 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: it down your throat. Yeah, you're right. So, I mean, 613 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: I think this is more to prove. And you know, 614 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,919 Speaker 1: the Titans have been in this situation before last year 615 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: San Francisco. You go out there, well, I mean I know, 616 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: but you go out there in week fifteen and you're 617 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,280 Speaker 1: playing a team that weeks earlier was dead and gone, 618 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: you know, and all of a sudden, you know, at 619 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: one point that team was oh and nine, but they 620 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: wake up and all the sudden you're in a game 621 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: against in a I mean, you're eight and four or 622 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: eight and five at that point in a game that 623 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: you need to win against a team that's four and nine. 624 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: I think they were, but with a new quarter. But 625 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: again that that when you left there, you didn't feel 626 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 1: as though it was a big upset because of how 627 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers were playing at that point. And 628 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: I think that's where the Giants are right now, they're 629 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 1: at the same point, which is why I think they're favorite. Yeah, 630 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: I agree with that. I mean, I think a lot 631 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 1: of it is based on the Titans needing to show 632 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 1: more and the fact that the Giants have stepped it 633 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: up in recent weeks and showing some life. So we'll see. 634 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's I think it's a game 635 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: the Titans certainly can win, as you mentioned, if the 636 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: team takes care of business, but you can't turn the 637 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: ball over, you can't do some of the things we've 638 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: seen in some of these recent road games against the 639 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: Texans and against the Colts. They need to get back 640 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: and playing late. They did against the Cowboys three games 641 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: back on the road, so it's obviously a big game. 642 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 1: I mean it kind of no question. I think at 643 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: this point everybody figures team needs to win out to 644 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: get into the playoffs, and I think this I don't 645 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: want to say this is gonna be the toughest game 646 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:06,240 Speaker 1: in that stretch, because we know the Colts are looming 647 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,399 Speaker 1: as well, but this is not gonna be an easy game. 648 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 1: Giants are pretty healthy to the only real question for 649 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: them at this point is going to be Odell Beckham 650 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,280 Speaker 1: junior who missed their win over Washington with a quad 651 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 1: and otherwise it sounds like they're tight end red Ellison 652 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: is is gonna miss. And then our old friend Curtis 653 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: Riley who returned an interception for a touchdown. He is 654 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:34,359 Speaker 1: their starting safety, sixty tackles on the year, three interceptions 655 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,879 Speaker 1: for Curtis Riley playing for the Giants, and I say, 656 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 1: good for him, Yeah, happy for him. Good guys, not 657 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: this week, but good guy. He's battling a little bit 658 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: of a risk. But otherwise they're healthy, they're healthy, and 659 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 1: but I don't know what to make a Backham. That 660 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 1: was a surprise to me last week when he didn't play, 661 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: because that stayed quiet throughout the course of the week. 662 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: I know Pat schrm Rale was on the conference call 663 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 1: with him yesterday and he pretty much said he wasn't 664 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: gonna practice. Is gonna monitor him throughout the weekend. Then 665 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: he shows up as limited. I read some stuff from 666 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: up there that made it sound like the limited was very, 667 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: very limited, like he might have been out there for 668 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,399 Speaker 1: part of a walkthrough. So I think today we'll tell 669 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: the tale on that. B. W. Webb's another guy that 670 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: people are familiar with it's on that team twenty fifteen 671 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 1: to take hare and the other thing too. The kicker 672 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: Altric rossas remember him from training camp twenty sixteen. I do. 673 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: He is actually the Giants kicker and has been very 674 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: successful this year. Jim Wyatt twenty eight of twenty nine 675 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:38,360 Speaker 1: with a law fifty seven, missed one extra point and 676 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: asked forty two touchbacks out of Southern Oregon. He did 677 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: a it's not really Oregon, it's Oregon. Um he did it. Well, 678 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,280 Speaker 1: you're not supposed to say that, but I was overpronouncing 679 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: for effect because this is you know, yea the intranet. Yeah, 680 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: I think we got Southern Oregon is where he went 681 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: to school and a good guy did a good job 682 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 1: kicking here. You knew he was gonna end up kicking 683 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,839 Speaker 1: for somebody, and uh he is. He is their place 684 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 1: kicker now. So there are some familiar faces there that'll 685 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 1: be fun to see those guys, that'll be great. And 686 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 1: Titans have played some memorable games against the Giants over 687 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 1: the years, uh, you know, including one up there in 688 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: the two thousand and two seasons at right when rally 689 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: to come back and uh, Steve McNair played through a 690 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 1: rib injury that game and they won it late thirty 691 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: two to twenty nine UM. And obviously there was a 692 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: game here in Nashville against the Giants. That game I 693 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: will still contend that that game December one, two thousand 694 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: and two, where the Titans rally late there down twenty 695 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:49,320 Speaker 1: six to twenty one, Tank Williams makes an unbelievable tackle 696 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 1: to keep the Giants from scoring a touchdown. They had 697 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 1: to kick a field goal, and so then the Titans 698 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 1: drove back down the field at twenty nine to twenty one, 699 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 1: and they tie the game on a two point conversion 700 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:08,320 Speaker 1: with thirteen seconds to go, and it's it's Steve McNair 701 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 1: making the play and he throws it. That was the 702 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 1: touchdown to Frank Whitchek, and then the two point conversion 703 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 1: was the McNair run. Now, the Titans would then go 704 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 1: on and win the game in overtime. But the story 705 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: of that was McNair had such a bad rib problem 706 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: that no one knew if he was going to play. 707 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 1: He didn't even warm up. I mean he was asleep 708 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: in the dressing room and he took a shot in 709 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: the rib cage to get him through the first three 710 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 1: and a half quarters. But by the time they got 711 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: to the end of the game, when he ran for 712 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,399 Speaker 1: the two point conversion and when he set up Joe 713 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:51,919 Speaker 1: Nedney to kick the game winner, he the shot had 714 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 1: worn off. Yeah, he switched. He switched the football to 715 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: his left hand to lift it above his head because 716 00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 1: of the pain in his right side. I still contend 717 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 1: that that was a day, that that was the day 718 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 1: that he won the MVP the next year because and 719 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:13,760 Speaker 1: here's why the New York media went nuts over him. 720 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 1: It was like they had never ever heard of him 721 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: before until this game. Now obviously they had. But you 722 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 1: see it with Broadway shows, you see it with singers, 723 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: you see it with other I mean, former giants go 724 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: on to become big stars in this country. Frank Gifford 725 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 1: did it. Michael Strahan has done it. Tikey Barber is 726 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 1: in kinky boots. Yeah, I mean, it's a it's a 727 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,359 Speaker 1: huge thing. Eli Manning will go to the Hall of 728 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 1: Fame because he's a giant. And now he's won two 729 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowls. And I'm not saying he's not deserving, but 730 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 1: what puts him over the top is he's a giant. 731 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,360 Speaker 1: If you do it in New York. You could do 732 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 1: it anywhere. I've heard that. I like how you did that, 733 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: but it really is true. And this is an incredible 734 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 1: opportunity for the Titans to get some visibility, to get 735 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: national exposure because if they go play well, if Mariotto 736 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,319 Speaker 1: or Henry or somebody else, you know, this is one 737 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 1: of those moments. That moment for McNair took him somewhere 738 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 1: else and he followed it the next year with something 739 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:32,359 Speaker 1: very special, but he had enough recognition based on the 740 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 1: embrace of the New York media. Yeah, they're definitely. I mean, 741 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 1: the New York media is kind of what sets the 742 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 1: standard in terms of what is being covered on a 743 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 1: national level. And yes, I mean, if we can have 744 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,760 Speaker 1: a big game in New York, Marcus can do something awesome, 745 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: we can have some breakout players that get a lot 746 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: of attention on the heels of some of the success 747 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,800 Speaker 1: that we had on national games this year. On Monday 748 00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:03,280 Speaker 1: Night against the Cowboys and Thursday Night against the Jags, 749 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,840 Speaker 1: I mean, those have been some national games where the 750 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: Titans have really stood up and make a statement. I 751 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 1: think you're absolutely right that this could just be another 752 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 1: feather in their cap. Well after that game. Steve McNair 753 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 1: never had to fight for national respect ever again, not 754 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 1: one time. Because he was he was elevated. They proclaimed him, 755 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 1: They said, oh wow, look at the heroic. This was 756 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,359 Speaker 1: the Willis Read type moment for the Knicks. You know, 757 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 1: this was the type of thing that Reggie Jackson hitting 758 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:42,319 Speaker 1: three home runs for the Yankees. Maybe not quite to 759 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 1: that level for a New York star, but for somebody 760 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 1: with a performance, it's a big deal. Yeah. And I 761 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 1: remember pregame watching him because it didn't practice whole week, 762 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 1: and I think he threw just a couple of passes 763 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 1: and warmost that we watched him in the press box 764 00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 1: yet you know, beforehand, and he gutted his way through it. 765 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: And uh, I think when I look back at Steve 766 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 1: mcneir games and heroic moments, that one ranks right up 767 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: there with the game at Three Rivers Stadium when when 768 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,880 Speaker 1: he came off the bench when then Lodonnell was knocked 769 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 1: out with a concussion and through three passes and the 770 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 1: Titans end up winning that game. This game against the 771 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,520 Speaker 1: Giants ranks right up there among his all time, uh 772 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:26,080 Speaker 1: most heroic performances. So you know it could work both ways. 773 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 1: I mean Titans can go up there and validate some 774 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 1: of the stuff that Amy talked about the performance on 775 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 1: Thursday night and uh, and what you did on Monday night. 776 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 1: But it could also you know, if his team plays 777 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: like it did the last time was in New York. 778 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 1: Of course this game would be in New Jersey, then, uh, 779 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,799 Speaker 1: it's gonna hurt the rep. So you've got to go 780 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 1: up there. The most important thing is going up there 781 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:50,400 Speaker 1: to win a game. And uh, how Mariota through like 782 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 1: four touchdown passes and well, but I'm saying for him, 783 00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,719 Speaker 1: it would be it would bear for Henry to have 784 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,920 Speaker 1: another great performance or one of the defensive players to 785 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: do something extra special. It would be great. Speaking of 786 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 1: great players and speaking of quarterbacks. Six weeks ago, Eli 787 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 1: Manning was gone. Yeah, Giants were letting him go because 788 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 1: his cap number he's gonna cost next year seventeen million 789 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 1: dollars in cash would be thirty eight years old, seventeen 790 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 1: million dollars in cash, cap number twenty three point two 791 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: million against the twenty nineteen cap, which, as we learned 792 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,479 Speaker 1: this week, is one hundred and ninety one point one 793 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,720 Speaker 1: million dollars. Next year it went up four million dollars 794 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,279 Speaker 1: if they let Eli Manning go. His dead money is 795 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:44,880 Speaker 1: only six point two million against the cap, so everybody 796 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,439 Speaker 1: figures they're letting him go. They're one in seven. He's 797 00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,759 Speaker 1: not playing any good, he's an old guy. They've got 798 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,160 Speaker 1: to start over, they've got to draft somebody. And then 799 00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,359 Speaker 1: what does he do. He's back from the dead. He's 800 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: back from the dead. He's been And now those numbers 801 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,720 Speaker 1: that I us throughout they seemed totally reasonable. They seemed 802 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 1: totally reasonable. I mean I think he's back. Yeah, I mean, 803 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 1: what's your option? I mean, right, they've got a guy 804 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,200 Speaker 1: that they've played last week who doesn't have any experience 805 00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,279 Speaker 1: and didn't play well, and obviously he needs to play 806 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: more to get a chance to Richmond a Spider. So 807 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you never know that code for something. He's 808 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 1: a Spider. No, No, I'm sorry, I didn't know. Seriously, 809 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,919 Speaker 1: so sorry. It does seem to be trending that way 810 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 1: with with Eli staying in the conversation and staying as 811 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,439 Speaker 1: a starting quarterback. There you never know what happens when 812 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,400 Speaker 1: the when the season ends, and and uh, you're here 813 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 1: about other quarterbacks who could be available. But um, I 814 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 1: would think they'd have to make that decision in January 815 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 1: or February before they go too much further with their 816 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,040 Speaker 1: roster moves. Yeah, they've got to make some sort of 817 00:45:56,080 --> 00:46:01,800 Speaker 1: commitment because his number will be so great. Um, and 818 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,360 Speaker 1: and then Odell Beckham's number is great. You put the 819 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,879 Speaker 1: two of them together, it's a massive part of their cap, 820 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 1: but it would seem like it's worth it. The fan 821 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 1: base up there is not convinced that Manning is going 822 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 1: past this year. Tom Rock from Newsday reports via one 823 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 1: of the services with the secondary market, a ticket for 824 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 1: this weekend's Titans Giants game right now at three hundred 825 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,680 Speaker 1: and seven dollars on the market because fans are seeing 826 00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 1: it as potentially Eli's second to last game there. Three 827 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,520 Speaker 1: hundred and seven, that's right now. Wow. I think he's 828 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,239 Speaker 1: coming back, Yeah, I think because I think he wants 829 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,480 Speaker 1: to play with Sequon Barkley. Yeah. Yeah, And I think 830 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,600 Speaker 1: they want it. I mean, they've got Eli Manning, sae 831 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,800 Speaker 1: Quon Barkley, they've got Odell Beckham, they have Evan Ingram 832 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 1: at tight end. They they have Sterling Shepherd at wide receiver. 833 00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 1: I mean they are really they've got some wet if 834 00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 1: they're blocking, they have tons of weapons, and then you've 835 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 1: got this offensive head coach at Pat Shermer, Mike Schuler 836 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 1: runs the offense. And the thing that you know Mike 837 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,799 Speaker 1: Schuler's gonna do is he's gonna feature the running back. Right. 838 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 1: You realize this kid is twenty one years old. Yeah, 839 00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 1: he's just a young little thing. He's got so much 840 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,320 Speaker 1: left in him. Two hundred and thirty five pounds, runs 841 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 1: under runs under four four. He has seventy eight catches 842 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,239 Speaker 1: on the year along with one thousand and twenty four 843 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:36,400 Speaker 1: rushing yards. He's gonna shatter every from scrimmage record in 844 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:40,840 Speaker 1: terms of yardage for a rookie back. He has five 845 00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 1: runs of fifty yards or more. He has five touchdowns 846 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,920 Speaker 1: of fifty yards or more. He has four straight games 847 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 1: with one hundred yards. He has six total games with 848 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 1: one hundred yards. He is on the verge of having, 849 00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:01,040 Speaker 1: I mean, one of the great rookie seas seasons in 850 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,160 Speaker 1: running back history in this league. And he was picked 851 00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,399 Speaker 1: because they didn't feel like any of the quarterbacks coming 852 00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,480 Speaker 1: out were worthy of that pick, and they thought he 853 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 1: was a special player. And he's I think he's proved 854 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,920 Speaker 1: him right. I mean, he he's a special bike that 855 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,680 Speaker 1: the numbers catching the football out of the backfield remarkable 856 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:21,359 Speaker 1: to me. And uh, you know what was CJ's what 857 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,960 Speaker 1: was the record? He's twenty five o nine all purpose 858 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,600 Speaker 1: yards for CJA. I mean, he's getting up there as 859 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 1: far as his production. I don't think he can get 860 00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,279 Speaker 1: there in the final three weeks of the season. But 861 00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:36,360 Speaker 1: he's a special bike. And he certainly helped convince them 862 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,600 Speaker 1: that they didn't need to go in another direction to 863 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 1: the quarterback position in this past year's draft. And I 864 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,480 Speaker 1: don't know that they we're you know, tying this back 865 00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 1: to Eli. I don't know who would be available that 866 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,360 Speaker 1: would make a change your mind on that this year either. 867 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,839 Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel said yesterday to the New York Media, this 868 00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:56,399 Speaker 1: is the biggest challenge talking about se Quon Barkley, the 869 00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 1: biggest challenge that the Titans have had all year by 870 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:03,880 Speaker 1: far are yeah, oh yeah, I believe that. I believe 871 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:09,080 Speaker 1: that he's young, he's shifty, he's strong. Yeah, well, he's 872 00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,160 Speaker 1: bigger than the linebacker. I mean you look at the 873 00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:16,000 Speaker 1: linebackers that the Titans have. Yeah, I think and of 874 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:21,920 Speaker 1: course everybody talks about Derrick Henry's size obviously, but Jayon 875 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,880 Speaker 1: Brown is not as big as he is. No, Harold 876 00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 1: Landry may be a little bigger than he is. Um, 877 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,720 Speaker 1: I think Finch's probably bigger. The outside linebackers are bigger, 878 00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:38,480 Speaker 1: but Woodyard and Compton and Bates and yeah, Eva Evans 879 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,600 Speaker 1: may be bigger. But I mean, what a challenge for 880 00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,880 Speaker 1: these linebackers. You're going up against this guy who is 881 00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,040 Speaker 1: at least as big as you, faster than you, and 882 00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 1: you gotta get him on the ground and he comes 883 00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,840 Speaker 1: from everywhere, right, He's a train in front of it. 884 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,239 Speaker 1: And who I'm glad I'm not a linebacker this week? Well, 885 00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,000 Speaker 1: I think that. I mean, and Lamar Miller's faster than 886 00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,280 Speaker 1: people thought. Hi, I think that was one of the mistakes. 887 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,480 Speaker 1: And in the night when he went off against the 888 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,719 Speaker 1: Titans is not only did he hit the hole and 889 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,080 Speaker 1: he had a lot of room to run, I think 890 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,600 Speaker 1: they underestimated his speed a little bit. I think going 891 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,920 Speaker 1: in with Barkeley, you know what you're going up against. 892 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 1: Iiman you get motivated to play against a guy like that, 893 00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,560 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, looking at the schedule, Ezekiel Elliott 894 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,880 Speaker 1: obviously presents a challenge, you know, when you play the 895 00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys and he had some success against the Titans or 896 00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:27,360 Speaker 1: in that game before that game kind of changed, you know, 897 00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,160 Speaker 1: Zeke and Lamar Mill I guess qualify as the best 898 00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:34,560 Speaker 1: bikes his team's face so far. And I think Barkeley, 899 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:38,640 Speaker 1: the success he's had and his skill set, I understand 900 00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,920 Speaker 1: why the head coach is saying that. Yeah, I mean, 901 00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:44,200 Speaker 1: this guy is some kind of player. And again back 902 00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,440 Speaker 1: to the point about why the Titans are not favorite, 903 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:50,120 Speaker 1: it's because this guy is red hot, and if you're 904 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,240 Speaker 1: gonna beat him, you gotta shut him down. You can't 905 00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,200 Speaker 1: let him be the one to beat you. If he's 906 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,040 Speaker 1: gonna get to a hundred yards, you better make it 907 00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:01,319 Speaker 1: where it takes him a lot of carries to get 908 00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,680 Speaker 1: him there. And what you really want to do is 909 00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 1: you want to force them to go away from him. Yep, 910 00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:08,920 Speaker 1: got to take him out of the game. I mean, 911 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:10,640 Speaker 1: it's what the Bears did the other night to the 912 00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:14,160 Speaker 1: Rams with Todd Gurley. You know, we saw what Todd 913 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,680 Speaker 1: Gurley did here in Week sixteen last year, in the 914 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:20,320 Speaker 1: past game and in the run game. But last week 915 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:24,359 Speaker 1: the Bears got him out of that. And suddenly it's like, 916 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:28,399 Speaker 1: why are you giving the ball to Todd, you know, yeah, 917 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:30,760 Speaker 1: and that's what they did. The Cowboys or some extent 918 00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,680 Speaker 1: was Ezekiel. Elliott was a big factor early and then 919 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,320 Speaker 1: the mood in Dallas after that game was what it 920 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:41,120 Speaker 1: should have stuck with what the Ezekiel. And so we 921 00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,600 Speaker 1: hope that there's similar conversations after this one. Want to 922 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,080 Speaker 1: remind everybody about two or three things before we go. 923 00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:52,520 Speaker 1: First of all, if you want to see the Titans 924 00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,960 Speaker 1: play Washington on Saturday, December the twenty second, it is 925 00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 1: a Saturday three thirty Central time.
