1
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to a special edition of the OTP the Titans

2
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen schedule. I'm Mike Keith. Let's not waste any time.

3
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and take a look at who and

4
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: where the Titans will play in the twenty nineteen season.

5
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: Tennessee will open at Cleveland on September eighth, at noon.

6
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: The Titans have never opened with the Browns. Actually, the

7
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: last time this franchise opened at Cleveland was nineteen seventy one.

8
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 1: Titans were in Cleveland two years ago, won that game

9
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: in overtime. The Titans come home in Week two for

10
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: a noon match with Indianapolis. Tennessee has not played Indie

11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: in September since twenty fifteen. Week three Thursday Night football

12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: on the road in Jacksonville. Second year in a row

13
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: the Titans and the Jags have met on Thursday night.

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: It's the fourth time they've played a Thursday night game

15
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: since twenty fourteen. September twenty ninth at Atlanta, a noon tilt.

16
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: Titans first game in the Mercedes Benz Stadium, the Falcon's

17
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: new venue home for Buffalo on October sixth. The two

18
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: teams also met in Week five last season in Western

19
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: New York. Week six brings a late afternoon game in Denver.

20
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: This organization has not won in Denver since October nineteen

21
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: eighty seven. Week seven back at Nissan Stadium a three

22
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: oh five start against the Chargers, and like Buffalo, the

23
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: Titans faced Philip Rivers and Company during the same weekend

24
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: last season. Week seven, Tennessee stays at home to face

25
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay at noon on October the twenty seventh. It's

26
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: the second meeting between the number one and number two

27
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: picks from the twenty fifteen draft. In the twenty fifteen opener,

28
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota through four touchdown passes as the Titans won

29
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: over Jamis Winston and the Buccaneers. Week nine to Charlotte

30
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: for a noon start at Carolina. Titans have not played

31
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: at the Panthers home stadium since twenty eleven, when Cam

32
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: Newton was rookie. Tennessee won that game thirty to three.

33
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: November tenth, certain to be circled, Patrick Mahomes and the

34
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs come to Nissan Stadium at noon. Titans have won

35
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: three in a row in this series, but Kansas City's

36
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: last win was actually in Nashville in twenty thirteen. Week eleven,

37
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: finally a bye weekend, the Titans' latest by since the

38
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen season, when the team didn't get a break

39
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: until Week thirteen, which is actually the last possible by weekend.

40
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: Following the off weekend, it's back home and back in

41
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: the AFC South as Jacksonville comes calling for a late

42
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: afternoon kick on November the twenty fourth. December opens with

43
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: a road game at Indianapolis, and then it's off to

44
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: Oakland on December eighth. The Raiders have won three in

45
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: a row in this series, but Tennessee's last victory was

46
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: at the Black Hole in twenty thirteen, in the final

47
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: minute of that game. Titans finally see the Texans on

48
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: December fifteenth at Nissan Stadium. It's the latest first meeting

49
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: of the season between these two AFC South rivals since

50
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: Houston came into the league in two thousand and two.

51
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium is the site of the Week sixteen showdown

52
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 1: between the Titans and the Saints. The last time Drew

53
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: Brees and Company came to Nashville was December twenty eleven,

54
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: and that contest was decided on the last play of

55
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: the game. And finally, Week seventeen, December the twenty ninth

56
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: in Houston. Remember that games in weeks eleven through seventeen

57
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: are subject to being flexed to Sunday night. That's the

58
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: rundown of the Titan schedule. I bring in my colleagues

59
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: Amy Wells and Jim Wyatt now for commentary. Amy to

60
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: you first, as you read it, as you see it,

61
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: as you process it. What jumps out about the Titans

62
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: twenty nine schedule. The first thing that jumped out to

63
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: me was how well balanced the schedule is. There aren't

64
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: huge chunks of time where you're on the road or

65
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: at home. You are mixing it up a lot, and

66
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: there are eleven noon games, so that really gives this

67
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: team the opportunity to get used to playing at one time,

68
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: really get in some sort of a rhythm throughout the season,

69
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: and I think that that's hugely helpful for any team.

70
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 1: To not be changing up their routine every couple of weeks.

71
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: You're able to stay pretty consistent throughout this schedule. The

72
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: other thing that really stuck out to me is that

73
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: the Division games are in very interesting pods. You have

74
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: them in Week two and three, four days apart facing

75
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: Indian Jacksonville, then weeks twelve and thirteen, which are right

76
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: after the buy, and then weeks fifteen and seventeen are

77
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: the two games with Houston to end the season. They're

78
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: not as mixed within the whole schedule. They're in very

79
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: clear beginning, middle, and ends. Those are what stuck out

80
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: to me. Jim, why a couple of things jumped out

81
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: of me? I guess one. I guess three out of

82
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: four to open up the season, including his amy mentioned

83
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: games within a couple of days of each other in

84
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: Indianapolis in Week two, and then at Jacksonville in Week three,

85
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: which is obviously a challenge, and then obviously the two

86
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: games to the last three against the Texans. A lot

87
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: of times you see schedules bunched up where teams play

88
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: each other in a close proximity. But to see them

89
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: at the end of the season play each other in

90
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: two of three games really odd to me and then

91
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: a little bit disappointed, you know, can't lie that no

92
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: more prime time games. This team was in a couple

93
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: of Monday night games on the road last year at

94
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: Dallas at Houston, had a game at home against the Jacks.

95
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 1: I thought maybe this was the time with the Titans.

96
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: We'd get a prime time game, and I'm not counting

97
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: the game against Indianapolis at the end of the season,

98
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: which was a flex game, but only one game at

99
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: Jacksonville on Thursday, September the nineteenth. You know, thought, maybe

100
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: this franchise will be put in the spotlight a little

101
00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: bit more Cleveland at Cleveland to open thoughts good and bad.

102
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: One is that place is gonna be jacked up. And

103
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: we all know what Cleveland has done this offseason and

104
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: some of the acquisitions that they've made, and that place

105
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: is going to be hyped up. People always fired up

106
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: at the start of the season in Cleveland, so you

107
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: know that going in the good side of that is

108
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: maybe it takes them a little while to kind of

109
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: get their mojo and to kind of get everybody on

110
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: the same page. Well, maybe it's better to face them

111
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: early rather than later. From a weather standpoint, I'd rather

112
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: go to Cleveland September than I would in December. I

113
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: know that, Amy, I'm just glad they're not playing for

114
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: free beers for the city anymore. That's a little less

115
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: of a motivation. But I think that I completely second

116
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: what Jim says and that they have so many new acquisitions,

117
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: so many new pieces of the puzzle. Are there a

118
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: lot of superstars there? Absolutely will they all be completely

119
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: jelled together in week one? I don't know that could

120
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: be a good thing for the tennsee Titans new head

121
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: coach as well, Right, certainly factors, And you think, although

122
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: I think Freddie Kitchens is going to do a good

123
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: job there Week eleven by bad, good or indifferent? Amy,

124
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: you know, I weirdly think it's good. People look at

125
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: the schedule and say, wow, that's a pretty late bye week.

126
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: A lot of times those bye weeks are used to

127
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: rest some players, get some guys back from injuries. Having

128
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: a bye week that's a little later, hopefully, God forbid,

129
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: if something bad were to happen, that could be a

130
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: chance to get some players healthy, get them rested, get

131
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: them ready to go to make the final stretch going

132
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. I like it too. I mean, I'd

133
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: rather have one a little bit late in the season

134
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: that I would too early, because, as Amy mistrument, gives

135
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: your time to get some guys back and healthy again

136
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: and ready for the stretch run. All right, let's take

137
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: a look at the schedule by month. Titans open with

138
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: three of their first four on the road at Cleveland,

139
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: after the Indianapolis home game, at Jacksonville and at Atlanta.

140
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: Turning to October four games in Atlanta, in this case

141
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: three home games and in September when you could be

142
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: the underdog in all four. In October, you might be

143
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: the favorite in all four of these games because of

144
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: not only who you're playing, but where you're playing them.

145
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: We'll see, but it certainly flips back towards the Titans way.

146
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: November is the month Titans only have three games they

147
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: get the buy in week eleven, the trip to Carolina,

148
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,679
Speaker 1: the home game with Kansas City, and then Jacksonville after

149
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: the bye on November the twenty fourth, and then a

150
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: five game December, beginning with road games at Indianapolis and Oakland,

151
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: home for Houston and New Orleans, and then add Houston

152
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: to end the season. You would love it, love it

153
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: if that last game was for the AFC South Championship,

154
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: Absolutely you would. You love seeing those games when it's

155
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: a division game, it's for all the marbles. It's a

156
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: great way to end twenty nineteen. What's the toughest stretch

157
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: to you, Amy Welsh, I say the month of December.

158
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: Looking at it, you're coming off of back to back

159
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: road games, and then you're going into New Orleans Houston.

160
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: If New Orleans has anything to play for, you know,

161
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna bring it and they're gonna want to be

162
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: a playoff team. And obviously, with Drew Brees and everything

163
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: that happened to them in twenty eighteen, I think they're

164
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: gonna want it pretty bad in twenty nineteen. And then

165
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: seeing any divisional opponent, any opponent really within two times

166
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: in three weeks is tough. The Houston Texans, that's going

167
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: to be a difficult one. So I think that the

168
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: Titans are really really going to have to put their

169
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: big boy pants on in December. Jim, why you're toughest stretch?

170
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: I'm going with the stretch there. The starts against Carolina

171
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: at Carolina on November the third and ends at Indianapolis

172
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: on December the first. Obviously, Carolina on the road, I

173
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: don't know exactly what to expect from them, but we

174
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: know Kansas City is going to be good with Patrick

175
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: Mahomes coming in here, facing the Jaguars again in in

176
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: a game against the Colts. I mean, we all know

177
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: about this team. Struggles against Indianapolis, that has to go

178
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: over the hump. I think the one good thing about

179
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: that is the biweek breaks it up. All Right, let's

180
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: talk about terms of the primetime situation. Amy Jim mentioned

181
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: he's surprised just one primetime game. I think all Titans

182
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: fans will be. Yeah, especially after the season that we

183
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: had last year, having the London trip and having two

184
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: Monday night games, it seemed like this team was really

185
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: starting to get some national recognition and get some of

186
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: that momentum. Seeing this, frankly, is disappointing. I'm optimistic that

187
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: as the season goes on and the Titans have a

188
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: little bit of success, some of these games towards the

189
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: end of the season will be flex a lack of

190
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: respect card. They may be able to play for the

191
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: Titans at in some point some way. I think so.

192
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: I mean, certainly, guys, you know, everybody wants to have

193
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: a chance to play in prime time because you know

194
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: your family can see you, the fans can see you.

195
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: It helps you get recognition for Pro Bowl. Not that

196
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: that's the number one goal, but you like for your

197
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: your peers to see your work, and you know the

198
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: fact that this team is not being put on spotlight.

199
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: I think certainly that will be brought to the attention

200
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: of some players, but you have to earn it. I mean,

201
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: I don't know. Obviously, you have not seen any schedule,

202
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: have not seen Houston schedule as we record this. But

203
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: I do think that those teams have earned I mean,

204
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: Indianapolis earned a playoff spot, and Houston won this division

205
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: last year. I think, you know, the Titans, you've got

206
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: to earn your way to get that and hopefully that

207
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: happens this season. The tough part about that early stretch

208
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: is you know that the Indianapolis game is going to

209
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: be emotional. Everybody knows the Titans have not beaten Andrew Luck.

210
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: It's going to be important to find a way to

211
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: try to win that game in Week two, and so

212
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: whatever the result, it's emotional, and then you have to

213
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,479
Speaker 1: turn around and go to Jacksonville. It's a difficult, difficult

214
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: call right there, There's no question about it. I mean,

215
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: that's that's a tough stretch. I mean, it's and it's

216
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: going to set the tone for the season. Now. Can

217
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: you can you recover if it doesn't go like you

218
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: wan't to sures a whole season but you can also

219
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: set the tone into positive way. His team can find

220
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: a way to go to a good start, to get

221
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: the monkey off the back against the Colts, get a

222
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: little bit momentum of momentum going into Jacksonville, it would

223
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: kind of be the jump start to the season. But uh,

224
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: that first stretch. I meanytime you have three out of

225
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: the first row on the road, it's a it's a challenge.

226
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: Amy Wells said at the eleven noon games after week three,

227
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: the schedule is very rhythmic. Do you agree with Amy

228
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: that that's a for the football team at least that's

229
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: a good thing. I think so. I mean, uh, you

230
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: know the issues that go with travel and then Monday

231
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: night games and the short week and you know the

232
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: London trip. I mean all those things. The herky jerkiness

233
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: of that type of schedule is requires a lot of

234
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: juggling from a from a staff standpoint, from a preparations standpoint,

235
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: and when you know your games at noon on Sunday,

236
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: I think it does make it a little bit easier. Uh.

237
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: You know, again, the whole biz in weeks eleven through seventeen,

238
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: this team is in a position where it's playing well

239
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: and you get some of those games flex tonight games,

240
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: and then you deal with some of that stuff that

241
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: goes with a schedule that's not as consistent as it

242
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: is with a noon schedule. But you gotta put yourself

243
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: in a position to do that. Amy I think the

244
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: winner in all of this might be the Titans fans,

245
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: because if you look at the home schedule and how

246
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: it sets up, it's a very good schedule to come

247
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: watch games at Nissan Stadium. You don't have weeks stacked

248
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: on top of each other where. I mean, it's hard

249
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: on people when they are three straight home games, or

250
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: it's hard on people when they're four December games. It's

251
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: hard too when some of the better games are not

252
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: the good weather games. This doesn't seem to have that,

253
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: particularly knowing that the preseason you have New England and Pittsburgh.

254
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it's ten pretty good home games, absolutely. I mean,

255
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: starting with that preseason schedule, that's remarkable and that's just

256
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: going to be so much fun and what a great

257
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: way to kick off football in Nashville. But then to

258
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: look at some of these games and to be hosting

259
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: teams like the Chargers in Kansas City in October and November.

260
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: That's football weather, folks, like those are the games that

261
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: you want to watch when there's a chill in the air,

262
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: like that's perfect. And to not be at home for

263
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: the entire month of December, especially during the holidays, we

264
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: know that's hard for people to come out, but you're

265
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: gonna want to see the Houston Texans at that point

266
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: in the season, You're gonna want to see the New

267
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints, and you're gonna want to see the Tennessee

268
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: Titans take them on. So I'm really excited. If you're

269
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: a season ticket holder or going to be a season

270
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: ticket holder, this is the type of schedule you want

271
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: to see. Yea. It helps a fan base without a doubt.

272
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: Let's run through the schedule one more time before we

273
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: depart on this special edition of the OTP. Titans open

274
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: at Cleveland September the eighth, week two home for Indianapolis

Speaker 1: rematch with the Colts from week seventeen. Week three, Well,

276
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: it's Thursday night, Jacksonville in Jacksonville, ten days later at Atlanta.

00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: You do get the extra by there to get ready

278
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: for the Falcons. So three of the first four on

279
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: the road, we turned to October Buffalo is a home

280
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: game at noon, on to Denver for a late afternoon tilt,

281
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,000

284
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: and then home for Kansas City. So the Titans ten

285
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: straight games to begin, they get a bye in week eleven.

286
