Speaker 1: Alan tried to sneak he got nothing, or sewing to
Speaker 1: pear at it. I got it. I did it. I
Speaker 1: did it, yes, not yes, not yes, hell yes. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the OTP four D presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans.
Speaker 1: Let the experts at Farm Bureau Health Plans coach you
Speaker 1: through it when you need the great healthcare coverage at
Speaker 1: a price you can afford. They've been protecting Tennessee and
Speaker 1: since nineteen forty seven. With Titans Radio's Amy Wells and
Speaker 1: Rhett Brian, I'm Mike Keith. Four D pregame begins with
Speaker 1: Coach Mack on what was, in essence, the final call
Speaker 1: of the game he took over Amy. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I mean the Music City Miracle was good. This is
Speaker 1: pretty great too. You can feel every emotion that he's
Speaker 1: experiencing as he's experiencing it and the rest of Titans
Speaker 1: fans were experienced. I don't think he got it. I
Speaker 1: don't think he got it. Oh my gosh, he didn't
Speaker 1: get it. Oh my gosh, there it is. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was, That's exactly what every other Titans fan's brain
Speaker 1: was doing at that moment. So great to hear Coach
Speaker 1: mcnailed it. I've been fortunate enough to be present for
Speaker 1: both of those calls, and they are similar, Mike, in
Speaker 1: the terms of Pat Ryan, your color analystic partner all
Speaker 1: those years ago, the former quarterback, the ball player. Well,
Speaker 1: you have the coach and Dave McGinnis, and while they
Speaker 1: don't completely understand delayed gratification or theater of the mind,
Speaker 1: which is what a good play by play guy does,
Speaker 1: the player or coaching them is like, yes, yes, there's
Speaker 1: the definition right here. We definitely did. They stopped him.
Speaker 1: It's not there this gub. This ball game is over,
Speaker 1: and so there's this yen and this yang between the
Speaker 1: two of you that is I love it, and it's
Speaker 1: one of the more exhilarating calls on Titans Radio and
Speaker 1: twenty plus years of games for what it meant in
Speaker 1: the moment, for the stage that it was on, and
Speaker 1: it captures a moment on this Titans team of a
Speaker 1: Titans draft pick coming of age and truly affecting the
Speaker 1: outcome of a big game in Jeffrey Simmons talking about
Speaker 1: Big Jeff and what he did on the play. The
Speaker 1: difficulty with the theater of the mind aspect is it's
Speaker 1: changed dramatically because New York is now in the ear
Speaker 1: of the official and there was no signal, There was
Speaker 1: no signal from anybody initially about whether he had made
Speaker 1: it or he had not made it, And I think
Speaker 1: the officials were waiting to make sure after they had
Speaker 1: been corrected the play before, they were waiting to hear
Speaker 1: whether or not they didn't think he had it. Where
Speaker 1: they were coming into market clearly showed he didn't have it,
Speaker 1: but they wanted to make sure that they had it
Speaker 1: right because on the third down run, initially they signaled
Speaker 1: first down, and the New York group came in the
Speaker 1: headset of the official and said, you've marked the ball wrong.
Speaker 1: You've got to move it back. It's fourth down. That's
Speaker 1: what Sean McDermott was complaining about after the game, And
Speaker 1: you know what, I think, rightfully so, because if you're
Speaker 1: the bills, with the clock and everything happening at that moment,
Speaker 1: you've got to know what the situation is. If New
Speaker 1: York's going to overturn a call without a full review,
Speaker 1: you should stop playing that moment. You should walk over
Speaker 1: and tell both coaches specifically what has happened and allow
Speaker 1: them to set for that, So you know, that's one
Speaker 1: of the changes we're having to make in our job
Speaker 1: because New York is now doing that sort of the
Speaker 1: sky judge from New York City, and it's made it
Speaker 1: quite different. And I see, I didn't think McDermott was
Speaker 1: whining in what he said. I think he's right. If
Speaker 1: you think you've got a first down there, you're thinking
Speaker 1: about something different play call wise than if it's fourth down. Well,
Speaker 1: and we saw that a little bit over the weekend.
Speaker 1: There were a couple games where in the final seconds
Speaker 1: Steelers Seahawks is what comes to mind, where in the
Speaker 1: final seconds of the game, the officials are trying to
Speaker 1: figure everything out and it dramatically changes the strategy in
Speaker 1: the scheme of how a coach approaches a situation. I'm
Speaker 1: just glad that Mike Keith is the adult in the
Speaker 1: room when it comes to the Titans radio calls, because
Speaker 1: he has the presence to say, wait, there's no signal.
Speaker 1: We all have to be cool here. I was on
Speaker 1: the opposite side of the field from where the play
Speaker 1: was happening. I was on the opposite end zone. I
Speaker 1: reacted to Jeffrey Simmons' face, and I knew what was happening,
Speaker 1: because Jeffrey Simmons knew what was happening. Is that the
Speaker 1: adult thing to do, But it's what happens when the
Speaker 1: defense comes running down the field after they've made a stop.
Speaker 1: That's ninety nine point nine percent correct. They know I
Speaker 1: thought they had made the stop. It appeared we couldn't
Speaker 1: tell from the initial look that Simmons had fallen on
Speaker 1: him the way he did, had taken Hawkins back into
Speaker 1: him and had fallen on top of him, But we
Speaker 1: knew they didn't go anywhere, and that was what the
Speaker 1: situation was. It was a great moment for Titans fans
Speaker 1: and obviously a great moment for coach Mack. He got
Speaker 1: a little excited. And you're right to frame it in
Speaker 1: the way that you did, because that is the part
Speaker 1: that inside two minutes, when the New York has it,
Speaker 1: you cannot challenge and those things where it's literally in
Speaker 1: skyhawk view, in the league's hands of this thing, well,
Speaker 1: and they're not stopping it anymore to do the review
Speaker 1: when they know in order to speed up play, when
Speaker 1: they know they're gonna buzz him and say move the
Speaker 1: ball back a half yard. What they're doing is they're saying,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna go under the helmet. We see it,
Speaker 1: and you know what, they were right when you saw
Speaker 1: the look that New York had, the ball did not
Speaker 1: reach the line to gain. It was absolutely the right call.
Speaker 1: But the confusion from the Bill's standpoint was they get
Speaker 1: a first down signal, they think it's a first down
Speaker 1: and then very quickly it's not. So that makes it
Speaker 1: that's a different part of the NFL right now, right,
Speaker 1: And it makes things complicated and it makes things hard.
Speaker 1: And I understand. I think it's a valid complaint that
Speaker 1: he has, but you don't really care. But I care
Speaker 1: absolutely none. Well, I was very cautiously enjoying the moment
Speaker 1: for coach mac because I know what he saw. He
Speaker 1: knew what he saw. Jeffrey Simmons saw what he saw.
Speaker 1: And of course I'm back there with Philip Noel and
Speaker 1: we have a monitor on the side of the wall
Speaker 1: there in the Titans radio booth, Boot seven, and when
Speaker 1: we saw that replay, I'm like, because it didn't look
Speaker 1: like he had forward progress. Man, it was clear he
Speaker 1: got nowhere as nowhere. Jeffrey Simmons submarined in there, pushed
Speaker 1: the guy back into him. It was a stone wall.
Speaker 1: It looks to me too like Naquan Jones is also
Speaker 1: somebody who got some serious penetration. I'm very interested to
Speaker 1: ask Mike Vrabel about that guy who played a pretty
Speaker 1: good game rookie out of Michigan State who has started
Speaker 1: to show up a little bit more. Titans didn't want
Speaker 1: to let him go, so they activated him to the
Speaker 1: roster even though he didn't play right away. They think
Speaker 1: he has potential much like Tier Tart. And so, man,
Speaker 1: if you're able to develop another undrafted defensive lineman who
Speaker 1: can help you, Wow, that's a help to not only
Speaker 1: your football team, but rent to your pocketbook. Any time
Speaker 1: that you can get help from undrafted free agents. And
Speaker 1: we've seen teams throughout the decades who went and got
Speaker 1: the small school guy in a late round or got
Speaker 1: really really lucky in evaluation and procurement and working with
Speaker 1: a guy to polish him up to get it to
Speaker 1: pay off. And you know, the Patriots have done that.
Speaker 1: I mean there's several yeah, I mean they like write
Speaker 1: the book on it. But so many teams have done
Speaker 1: that through the years, and this is exciting to know
Speaker 1: that that may be a possibility you are a veteran
Speaker 1: team who doesn't have extra cap room. It's huge. It's
Speaker 1: absolutely huge, especially because then if a draft pick doesn't
Speaker 1: work out, which inevitably happens, then that guy basically takes
Speaker 1: the draft picks place in your draft class. I mean,
Speaker 1: look at Nick Westbrookakina right now, what did he give
Speaker 1: you on the last drive? What is he giving you
Speaker 1: on special teams? This guy's twelve catches on the year. Yep.
Speaker 1: He had three for twenty seven on the game winning
Speaker 1: drive to go ahead. Yeah, when you couldn't get Julio
Speaker 1: Jones because the hamstring flare up and golly. I mean,
Speaker 1: and that's the thing that's amazing to me about a
Speaker 1: Nick Westbrook Aquinas. The poor guy had moments last season
Speaker 1: where it's like, gosh, he can't catch a cold. Now
Speaker 1: he's reliable. He's reliable Nick Westbrookoquina, and he's special teams
Speaker 1: Nick Westbrookakina. It's huge. Yep. Those guys become the foundation
Speaker 1: of your team because it gives you something consistent, It
Speaker 1: gives you depth, and it gives you some versatility. But
Speaker 1: then it also gives you extra money to pay those
Speaker 1: key pillars that you need to have. So teams are
Speaker 1: built on those guys, and we don't talk about him enough.
Speaker 1: Nobody talks about him enough because they're not the big
Speaker 1: stars all the time. But those are the people that
Speaker 1: are holding your team together, and we don't talk about
Speaker 1: him enough because they're the ones that do the real
Speaker 1: dirty work. They get their hands dirty. Good player. Nick
Speaker 1: Westbrook a keena I said right here on this show
Speaker 1: on the OTP four D, I really believed he was
Speaker 1: going to be a factor this year, and I still
Speaker 1: believe it. I think he's I think he's going to
Speaker 1: be a part of this football team going forward. Who
Speaker 1: is a regular contributor, who who? And the fans know
Speaker 1: him now? The ot people certainly know him all right.
Speaker 1: First down, let's get right to it. Coach Mack's call
Speaker 1: of the game was the highlight though, no question, no question.
Speaker 1: First down, your play that turned the game. Amy, You
Speaker 1: can't say the Jeffrey Simmons play. I am going to
Speaker 1: say the Jeffrey Simmons play, but I'm saying it from
Speaker 1: the angle of a sideline reporter, Okay, if that makes sense,
Speaker 1: from the angle of a thank you. I've been working
Speaker 1: on this for a long time. The reason that that
Speaker 1: was so important in my mind, besides the fact that
Speaker 1: it was a call made by the Bills to go
Speaker 1: for the fourth down instead of kicking the field goal
Speaker 1: and sending it into overtime. I don't think the Tennessee
Speaker 1: Titans would have won this game if it had gone
Speaker 1: into overtime. I think that this would have been a
Speaker 1: dramatically different situation for the Titans because had this game
Speaker 1: gone into overtime, not only would there have been a
Speaker 1: momentum swing towards the Bills, but there also would have
Speaker 1: been a issue with the amount of bodies that the
Speaker 1: Titans had. They couldn't catch a break when it came
Speaker 1: to injuries, right, yes or no answer, Sean mcdermot's your coach,
Speaker 1: you're a Bills fan. You kicked the field goal? Yes
Speaker 1: or no? Yes you wanted to kick the field goal? Yes? Yes,
Speaker 1: I want to Yes, I want to go to overtime
Speaker 1: because I see where the Titans are injured. You're way
Speaker 1: more healthier, I mean way more healthier. Although Jim Why
Speaker 1: made the point the Titans had scored were done every
Speaker 1: one of their final six possessions outside of the end
Speaker 1: of the first half, where they basically ran out the
Speaker 1: clock and the end of the game where they ran
Speaker 1: out the clock, so I guess that's what he was thinking.
Speaker 1: I still fall in your lane, however, that I kick
Speaker 1: it right there, go to overtime and keep playing. The
Speaker 1: only guy you didn't have was Dawson Knox, especially because
Speaker 1: remember they're going into their by right. Yeah all right,
Speaker 1: So Rhett, your play that turned the game. I go
Speaker 1: back to six seven, eight minutes left in the third quarter,
Speaker 1: fourth and two at the Buffalo twenty nine yard line,
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill, it's a j Brown for a fourteen yard
Speaker 1: game that led to Derreck Henry's second touchdown of the
Speaker 1: night to get them right back out in front twenty
Speaker 1: four to twenty three. That's where I thought, Okay, they
Speaker 1: are going toe to toe. It's getting towards the eighth, ninth,
Speaker 1: tenth round of a twelfth round, fifteen round heavyweight boxing match.
Speaker 1: They can have a shot at this if they don't
Speaker 1: shoot off their fingers and toes. To me, it was
Speaker 1: the decision by Mike Vrabel early in the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: to kick the field goal at thirty one twenty four.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there were a lot of people. Good you
Speaker 1: gotta go for it. You can Nope, he says, we
Speaker 1: got nine forty five left in the game. We're kicking
Speaker 1: the field goal right here. We're gonna get within four,
Speaker 1: We're gonna be able to stop them, get it back,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna go win thirty four to thirty one, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm gonna reveal that's what Dave McGinnis
Speaker 1: was saying the whole end of the third quarter. He said,
Speaker 1: we're gonna win this game thirty four to thirty one.
Speaker 1: And obviously he was. He was all in last night,
Speaker 1: no doubt. But the point was Vrabel sat at the
Speaker 1: adult table there he said, let's keep playing the game.
Speaker 1: When the Titans are doing their thing under Mike Vrabel,
Speaker 1: they keep playing the game. They don't end it. They
Speaker 1: don't make the decision that puts it on the line.
Speaker 1: If you don't pick up a first down in that
Speaker 1: situation and it's still thirty one twenty four, you've lost momentum,
Speaker 1: you kicked the field goal, you say we're just gonna
Speaker 1: keep going. I thought that was the decision. That's the
Speaker 1: one that jumped out to me. Very good calling opinion
Speaker 1: by Mike Frabel. Second down Rhet Brian, your stat that
Speaker 1: tells the story. The Titans defense gave up four explosive plays,
Speaker 1: but the Bill's longest play of the night was the
Speaker 1: thirty one yarder to Emmanuel Sanders on Buffalo's final drive
Speaker 1: that stalled out with a goal line stand. It's something
Speaker 1: that they've been working on. I would like them to
Speaker 1: continue to work on it. But I thought that was
Speaker 1: marked improvement against a high powered offense that had been
Speaker 1: averaging thirty five points a game in four straight wins.
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill was not sacked, which I think is a
Speaker 1: colossal improvement from all of the rest of twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: It was the first game that he wasn't sacked, and
Speaker 1: despite the loss of Taylor Lawe, the offensive line played
Speaker 1: a game where they were able to keep their quarterback clean.
Speaker 1: And for this Titans team, keeping Ryan Tannehill standing on
Speaker 1: his feet and healthy is going to be a huge
Speaker 1: part of this offense because you can actually run the
Speaker 1: offense when your quarterback back is standing up. So I
Speaker 1: think that that was a huge victory for this offense overall.
Speaker 1: To me, it was rushing Titans twenty two rushes one
Speaker 1: forty six and four touchdowns on the ground. Buffalo twenty
Speaker 1: three rushes eighty two yards, no touchdowns on the ground.
Speaker 1: Their longest run was fourteen yards. They had been averaging
Speaker 1: one forty per game rushing and two seventy passing one
Speaker 1: forty rushing. Yes, they ended up throwing for three thirty
Speaker 1: five in the game. Yes, Josh Allen did a really
Speaker 1: nice job throwing three touchdown passes, but they could never
Speaker 1: establish anything on the ground. And Josh Allen nine carries
Speaker 1: for twenty six yards with a long of seven and
Speaker 1: he doesn't get in the end zone. That's huge. Here's
Speaker 1: a stat from Josh Allen when he has run for
Speaker 1: a touchdown and thrown for a touchdown in a game,
Speaker 1: they are eighteen and ozo. So that rushing touchdown is
Speaker 1: once they get him going in the ground game. That
Speaker 1: gives him that balance to their offense. The Titans gave
Speaker 1: up a bunch of yards, and they gave up thirty
Speaker 1: one points in the ball game, but they never broke
Speaker 1: because they didn't give up the big plays. As you said, Rhett,
Speaker 1: and the Titans were able to keep the Bills from
Speaker 1: running the football through the entire course of the ball game,
Speaker 1: and that's huge. Because we talked about it all week
Speaker 1: about how he has designed runs for him. Now, second,
Speaker 1: the team in rushing lean coming into this game. The
Speaker 1: stat I like Josh Allens was six and oz in
Speaker 1: primetime games. He's o and two in primetime games. Versus
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, third down your area that the Titans
Speaker 1: have to get fixed. Rhett Bryan getting off the field
Speaker 1: on third down allowed seven to thirteen to the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 1: They cannot do that on Sunday to the high powered
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. Got to get off the field on
Speaker 1: third down. That's simple. At one point, it was six
Speaker 1: of eight in the second half for Buffalo. That's not
Speaker 1: a good stat I'm pigging backing off of Rett a
Speaker 1: little bit. They've got to tighten up overall because they
Speaker 1: were allowed three hundred and thirty five passing yards. That's
Speaker 1: a lot of passing yards. That's a lot of while
Speaker 1: they controlled the explosive place, didn't have those big chunks.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're still grinding it out on you. And
Speaker 1: you've got to tighten that up before Patrick Mahomes comes
Speaker 1: in here and starts slinging it all over the place.
Speaker 1: Because we know that's what he's going to do, and
Speaker 1: he's going to try and take advantage of any holes
Speaker 1: that he sees. In this Titans defense, I think it's
Speaker 1: tackling still, and I think it's tackling because they were
Speaker 1: not good at Jacksonville overall. I think they were better
Speaker 1: in the game against Buffalo. But to me, it stands
Speaker 1: out because you're probably going to have more new guys
Speaker 1: trying to do the tackling, especially smaller guys in the secondary.
Speaker 1: Caleb Farley could come up and hit you. Christian Fulton
Speaker 1: has shown he will come up and hit you. Chris
Speaker 1: Jackson at his size will come up and hit you.
Speaker 1: Not every guy who plays in a secondary can tackle.
Speaker 1: And you're going to have more new guys filtering through
Speaker 1: because of the injury situation overall on defense. So for
Speaker 1: the Titans, I think it goes back to tackling because
Speaker 1: these guys you got to get them on the ground.
Speaker 1: You've got to get them on the ground in these
Speaker 1: situations because run after the catch against Kansas City is
Speaker 1: just beastly. They are phenomenal no matter who they have available.
Speaker 1: They have plenty of speed, they have plenty of athleticism. Everywhere.
Speaker 1: You've got to make the tackle. You cannot allow run
Speaker 1: after the catch. Mike, to your point on the I
Speaker 1: believe it was the fourteen yard run by Devin Motor
Speaker 1: Singletary three miss tackles on that runs tackles, It should
Speaker 1: have been a three yard game maybe, And Caleb had
Speaker 1: missed one couple of plays before, so I was like,
Speaker 1: that's for miss tackles already. And this was early on
Speaker 1: in the ball game. Said fifteen ended up being the
Speaker 1: total in the Jacksonville game. So listen. The guys on
Speaker 1: the other side are big time pros. I get it.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna make every tackle, but you've got to
Speaker 1: be as good as you possibly can be against the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs and teams of
Speaker 1: that ilk Indianapolis. When you see him with t Y
Speaker 1: Hilton back and with the way Jonathan Taylor has been
Speaker 1: running it lately, I mean, it's an area where the
Speaker 1: Titans have to get better. All right, fourth down one
Speaker 1: thing that you noticed and wanted to share. We're gonna
Speaker 1: let aby go first. This game felt like a big time,
Speaker 1: prime time football game. The atmosphere at Nissan Stadium gave
Speaker 1: me chills. It still gives me chills this morning. Absolutely
Speaker 1: amazing from start to finish. The crowd. The crowd was crazy,
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy in the best possible way. I don't think
Speaker 1: they sat the whole game. I don't think they sat either.
Speaker 1: It was the first time and I can't remember how
Speaker 1: long I looked up into the upper upper deck and
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, my goodness, every seat is full. It was.
Speaker 1: You could see it, you know, you could feel the energy.
Speaker 1: It was so exciting. Having the lights the way that
Speaker 1: they were programmed, so that every time there was some
Speaker 1: sort of a break in the action, they could dim
Speaker 1: the lights and they were flashing blue. It felt like
Speaker 1: a major performance. It felt like a show. It felt
Speaker 1: like what any person expects an NFL game in prime
Speaker 1: time to feel like. It was crazy. It was so good,
Speaker 1: and I was so proud of the Titans and of
Speaker 1: Nashville again showing up in those big moments when everybody's
Speaker 1: watching and being able to show what this team is
Speaker 1: about and what this city can do, and how excited
Speaker 1: they are about football. It was amazing. It was just
Speaker 1: it was an epic game in a in a lot
Speaker 1: of different ways, but the way that everybody showed up
Speaker 1: for this game crazy. It was great the view from
Speaker 1: the Titans radio booth in the closing minutes, you just
Speaker 1: delivered the final call the Titans get it done again,
Speaker 1: which was great, always great to hear and to see
Speaker 1: you and Coach Day McGinnis waving and talking to the fans,
Speaker 1: and Coach Max says to Philip Noel, and I was like, hey,
Speaker 1: come up here, let's let's talk to these people. Wave
Speaker 1: at him. Of course, you know, I'm making sure commercials
Speaker 1: running or but I'm also I'm looking out the window
Speaker 1: and I see first of all, Bills fans in shock,
Speaker 1: and then the rest that are a lot of faces
Speaker 1: you see every week, and they didn't want to leave.
Speaker 1: And I loved that for them and was so happy
Speaker 1: for them because so many times in recent history, especially
Speaker 1: the last five ten years, the Titans may have put
Speaker 1: something together to have a big moment like that and
Speaker 1: fall short of that. And you said it best last
Speaker 1: night in post game. The people in those seats that
Speaker 1: are season ticket members last night, they'll be there on Sunday,
Speaker 1: garanteed now. But I was so happy for them that
Speaker 1: they got the show, they got what they wanted, and
Speaker 1: they didn't want to leave, and It's a moment I
Speaker 1: won't soon forget, and quite frankly, selfishly, I wish could
Speaker 1: have lasted just a little longer. I've got two and
Speaker 1: so I want to follow on your points about the crowd.
Speaker 1: The thing that we see out of the booth is
Speaker 1: when there are opposing fans in the area of the
Speaker 1: Titans fans in front of us, we will occasionally see
Speaker 1: people get into it with other people. We will occasionally
Speaker 1: see arguments and nastiness. What I saw last night, for
Speaker 1: the most part, does it looked like just a bunch
Speaker 1: of people having a good time. It looked like the
Speaker 1: Bills fans were having a good time and the Titans
Speaker 1: fans were having a good time, and they were watching
Speaker 1: Monday night football and they saw a great show. That
Speaker 1: was the most lead changes on a Monday night football
Speaker 1: game in thirteen years. Wow. I mean that was a
Speaker 1: classic Monday night football game. Amy, you're not old enough
Speaker 1: to remember, but rhet and I certainly do. There was
Speaker 1: something about Monday night games that used to produce these
Speaker 1: crazy results. Teams would play up to the stage. That
Speaker 1: last night was two teams playing up to the stage.
Speaker 1: That was great. You got your money's worth I don't
Speaker 1: care what you paid for your ticket. You got your
Speaker 1: money's worth if you were there. And so to the
Speaker 1: Bills fans, I say this, you got a really good
Speaker 1: team and your season didn't end last night. They're loaded,
Speaker 1: they're as good as we thought. Maybe didn't have their
Speaker 1: best night on defense. Who knows. To the Titans fans,
Speaker 1: I say, this is what you can be, This is
Speaker 1: what we had hoped, and we will see if this
Speaker 1: team can find a way to keep it up with
Speaker 1: all of the issues that they have right now physically.
Speaker 1: The second point that I want to point out is
Speaker 1: the clip we played with Dave McGinnis that shows if
Speaker 1: you are a person who's ever wondered what it was
Speaker 1: like to work, or to coach, or to play in
Speaker 1: the NFL, that tells you the amount of passion and
Speaker 1: emotion that goes into it. That was not some guy
Speaker 1: acting on a reality show. Nope, that was heart and
Speaker 1: soul at everything that he could put in it. Because
Speaker 1: he loves Mike Vrabel, he loves John Robinson, they're guys
Speaker 1: on this team he absolutely loves. He's been on our
Speaker 1: broadcast for five years. But what you get every Sunday
Speaker 1: from Dave McGinnis is the real NFL experience. You don't
Speaker 1: get that on most networks because most networks don't have
Speaker 1: somebody scratch that. No network has what Dave McGinnis brings
Speaker 1: to our broadcast. And we are so lucky to have
Speaker 1: him to bring that sort of passion because if you
Speaker 1: really want to feel it, listen to him at the
Speaker 1: end and I just let him go. I just stopped.
Speaker 1: I handed Brad Willis my head said he didn't see me,
Speaker 1: but I was fine. He's got it. And that's the
Speaker 1: point is he had it because as Amy said earlier,
Speaker 1: he was properly describing everything you felt in that moment.
Speaker 1: For the Titans, it was euphoria. For the Bills, it
Speaker 1: was utter devastation for one day. You know, tomorrow is
Speaker 1: a different day, next week's a different day. But that
Speaker 1: tells you the highs and lows of the National Football League.
Speaker 1: That's what a coach goes through. You know, that's what
Speaker 1: he's lived his whole life. We are lucky to have
Speaker 1: Dave McInnis. Alan tried to sneak he got nothing or
Speaker 1: sewing up. Point at it. I got it. I did it, yes,
Speaker 1: not yes, not yes, hell yes, I pinched myself every
