They've been protecting Tennesseean's for seventy five years. 5 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Titans Amy and Coach Mac Podcast. I'm 6 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: Amy Wells and of course Coach Mack is here too. Hey, 7 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: Coach Mac. Hi, Amy, whatever we did last week on 8 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: the podcast, let's do the same thing so because we 9 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: want the same result. Right on Sunday, it worked. Tennessee 10 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: Titans got their first win over the Las Vegas Raiders. 11 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: They are now one and two on the season and 12 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: they're getting ready to take on the Indianapolis Colts in 13 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: the first Division matchup of the season. Mac, Are you excited? Yeah? Well, 14 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the best way to get into 15 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: the tournament at the end of the season is to 16 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: win your division. To win your division, you got to 17 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: win your division games. This is a big This is 18 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: a big game, and you know that's that's a little 19 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: bit of a misnomer because every game in the National 20 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: Football League is a big game. You only got seventeen 21 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: of them. But this is a division game, and plus, 22 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: you know, we're very close geographically, and the Colts and 23 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: the Titans have never liked each other a whole lot, 24 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: you know, the fan bases. But the importance of this game. 25 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a big difference between being one and 26 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: three at the court at you know, four games, and 27 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: being two and two. We need to be the two 28 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: and twos. Now, I want to talk about this a 29 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: little bit. I say, we just jump right in because 30 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: you're right. Division games are important, but so is every 31 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: game in the National Football League. It appears with this 32 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: matchup specifically, which again you mentioned Historically the Colts and 33 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: the Titans have great matchups, but it seems like for 34 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts, this one just means a little bit more. 35 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: And by Colts, I mean they're owner Jim Ersey, who 36 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: has been saying for about a year that the Tennessee 37 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: Titans are their big nemesis, is what he called them. 38 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: I mean, he's been talking about this for months and months. 39 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: He's had come to Jesus meetings with his staff, he 40 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: has talked about it in the media just excessantly almost. 41 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: I mean, he's gone on and on about how beating 42 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: the Titans is their measuring stick for success and it's 43 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: something that needs to be done. This is even something 44 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: that he brought up to the team as they opened 45 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: training camp, like their rallying cry was We're gonna be Tennessee. Like, 46 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: has it become too much? Is that a lot for 47 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: one owner to put that much emphasis on one matchup? Well, 48 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, he's the owner, so he 49 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: can say whatever he wants, right, and he can talk 50 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: to the whole team, But really what you say has 51 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: no bearing on what goes on on the field. And 52 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: that's I mean. He was also wanted to go get 53 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: Jacksonville really bad because they knocked him out of the 54 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: playoffs last year. Correct? Correct? How'd that work? So what 55 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: I'm saying is is he can say whatever he wants, 56 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: He's within his rights to do all of that, but 57 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: it still has to happen on the field. And so 58 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: you're asking me, do the players pay attention? Sure, they 59 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 1: pay attention to it, they listen to it, but it's 60 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: not the overriding factor as far as to they know. 61 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: The players and coaches know the importance of this game 62 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: because they know the importance of winning and plus the 63 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: Titans have won the division. You know, lately the Tits 64 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: have been division champs, so you always want to go 65 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: after the champs. And so that's kind of where that 66 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: comes from. As a head coach though, and you know 67 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: this better than anybody else, you have a pretty close 68 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: relationship with ownership. When you're the head coach. You're in 69 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: constant communication. When there's that much emphasis being put on 70 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: a matchup, that has to be related to you pretty consistently. Right. Yeah, 71 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: but let me just say, let me say which games 72 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: the owners like to lose? None of them. I mean 73 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: I know I've worked for several owners and I've never 74 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: had one come to him say, coach, it's okay to 75 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: lose this one. Go ahead and lose this and it 76 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: won't bother me a lot. They don't want to lose 77 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: any of them, so there's not an extra emphasis on it. 78 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you want to make your boss happy, obviously, Right, 79 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: what are you going to emphasize? I don't know. I'm 80 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: asking you. You're the coach. I'm just sitting here now, 81 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: so I'm saying, what are you going to emphasize? What 82 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: are you going to emphasize to the players. I mean, 83 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: we need to win this game, you need to play 84 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: harder if they're not playing as hard as it can Anyway, 85 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: I mean, what are you going to emphasize. I mean, 86 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: you can say if you don't win this game, we're 87 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: going to execute you. That might be some emphasis that 88 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: would work, yeah, But anyway, so no to me. I mean, yeah, 89 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: you listen because you have respect for your owner, But 90 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: as far as what it does for what goes on 91 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,239 Speaker 1: on the field, I can't see a whole lot there. 92 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: What about on the opposite side for Mike Vrabel, for 93 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: the coaching staff you're going up against. Obviously you care 94 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: about your own team, but is there a little part 95 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: of you that thinks it's interesting that maybe the Titans 96 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: have gotten to them a little bit. From a mental standpoint, 97 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: I think Mike Rabel has paid zero attention to that 98 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: zero because again, Mike Rabel knows what makes this league work, 99 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: and he knows it's not you know, the owner saying 100 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: we have to win this game, because most owners say 101 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: we have to win this game. That's not what it is. 102 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: I mean, he worked for Robert Kraft for a lot 103 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: of years as a player, right, and so I mean, 104 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: you've got to you've got to know as a coach 105 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: what you're charged with, your charge with winning games as 106 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: a coach. As players, you're charged with winning games. The 107 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: emphasis that an owner would put on a singular game 108 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: really probably I mean it, you know it, and you 109 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: hear it, and you respect the owner, but it doesn't 110 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: affect what's going on on the field. I mean, I'm 111 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: sure that they're thinking, oh God, I just dropped a 112 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: pass and now mister Urse is gonna be really mad 113 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: at me tomorrow. Well, no, I don't think that necessarily. 114 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: One of the things that causes jamrc's frustration is that 115 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: these two teams are trying to have very similar identities. 116 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: They both are tough, physical, old school, grind it out 117 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: in the trenches, run first football teams, and the Titans 118 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: have done it a little bit better in the last 119 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: couple years than the Indianapolis Colts have. The Titans have 120 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: four wins in the last six meetings of the two teams, 121 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: and so it's got to be frustrating as the Colts 122 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: to watch a team kind of beat you at your 123 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,559 Speaker 1: own game. How do you guard against maybe straying away 124 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: from what you typically would do because you want to 125 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: get the win As opposed to just sticking to your 126 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: identity and grinding it out even more. Well, Titans are 127 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: going to stick to their identity. But you have a 128 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: point there, But that's a sticking point knowing that you know, 129 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: first of all, they're both built around two dynamic running backs. 130 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: They both run play action, they both play very physical defense, 131 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: and so that that's a legitimate point going you know, 132 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: they're beating us, as you say, at our own game 133 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: we have we've got to be able to match what 134 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: they're doing and do it a little bit, do it 135 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: a little bit better. That's a that's a legitimate point. 136 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: But as far as strained from your game plan. See, 137 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: here's to me. If your game plan has worked against 138 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: them for four out of six times, why change it? 139 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: And so they're not going to change it. Let's talk 140 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: a little bit about the Indianapolis Colts and some of 141 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: the similarities, and it starts with the run game, right. 142 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: They have some dynamic running backs just like the Titans 143 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: do well they do. But let's start with the offensive line, 144 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: because they've got the highest paid offensive line in the 145 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: National Football League. They've got excellent players. Let's go from 146 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: left to right. Their left tackle Matt pryor their left 147 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: guard Quentin Nelson, and then their center Ryan Kelly. That 148 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: left side is playing really well. If you just watch 149 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: the tape, that left side is playing really well. Where 150 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: they're struggling a little bit is on the right side 151 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: with their right guard Danny Pittner and then their right 152 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: tackle Braden Smith. When people have gotten to them, most 153 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: of it has been you know, from that side, they 154 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: get a really good mash and a push they're running back. 155 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: You know that we're talking about here. That's Jonathan Taylor. 156 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: He's just like Derek Henry and the fact that Amy, 157 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: you've got to get him to his fourth step. You've 158 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: got to get you've got to get explosive backs to 159 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: their fourth step where they can be able to run 160 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: through the second level and then do some stuff on 161 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: their own once they get to the third level. But 162 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: if you can't get him to that fourth step, then 163 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: they become very common. And so I mean Derrick Henry 164 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: last week against the Raiders was able to get to 165 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: his fourth step and then you could start seeing him 166 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: do some things. Jonathan Taylor is the same way. When 167 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: they when they can get some push and some knockback 168 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: on the offensive line, he gets to his fourth step, 169 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: he's a problem because I mean, you know, he's he's 170 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 1: run one of the fastest times on GPS in the 171 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: National Football League this year, over twenty two miles an hour. 172 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: And then you talk about nihem Hines is a completely 173 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: different back, but niheim Hines is even faster. And nihem 174 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: Hinz brings the other element that he is a matchup 175 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: nightmare for linebackers and safeties, just a matchup nightmare. And 176 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 1: it's not just out of the backfield. Amy they will 177 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: line him up to the three man side and an 178 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: empty backfield set to the two man side. They will 179 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: line him up in the slot because he's an individual 180 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: route runner. So both of those backs that they have 181 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: that get the football for the majority of the time 182 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: when they're playing, they've got different skill sets, but they 183 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: both are fast enough to take it to the house 184 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: and they and they both are athletic enough to draw 185 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: your attention. But it all starts you start talk about 186 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: running it. Just like with the Titans, it all starts 187 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: with the blocking unit up front, because if you can't 188 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: get them to their fourth step, then they're just a 189 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: common back. They also have some weapons within their receiving 190 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: corps that are able to make a huge impact on offense. 191 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: Right well, right, I mean they got combat catchers, you 192 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: know in Pariscampbell and Michael Pittman Junior, those are big 193 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: combat catchers. The rookie Alec Pierce from Cincinnati, it's a big, 194 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: long guy that's that's a little bit new, more nuanced 195 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: as a as a rookie than you normally see. So 196 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: those three when they're in eleven personnel, I mean there's 197 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: some matchup issues with this. And then at their tight end, 198 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: Moali Cox is the guy that we've dealt with a 199 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,599 Speaker 1: lot when we've played them, a big target. But the 200 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: but Julyani Woods, the new rookie they have from Virginia, 201 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: is a real red own problem. He's six seven, two 202 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty five pounds. I mean, you don't have 203 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: very many six seven cornerbacks in the league, so I 204 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: mean you're gonna be mismatched size wise. And so that's 205 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: why it's so important when you are playing them once 206 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: they're especially down in the red zone, you need to 207 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: be able to effect the quarterback pretty quickly or shade 208 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: your back in some ways towards a guy because he's 209 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: gonna outjump and he's gonna outreach. It's like having a 210 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: power forward, you know, sometimes against a point guard, they're 211 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: gonna get the ball. And so they've got weapons offensively, 212 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: and you know, Matt Ryan is a veteran quarterback and 213 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: if they can protect him, and they've protected him pretty 214 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: well in the cylinder, a lot of their problems have 215 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: come when people have blitzed them because they get some 216 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: free runners at him. But he hasn't been pressured a lot. 217 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: He's been sacked thirteen times, but he hasn't been pressured 218 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 1: a lot, which is pretty it's unusual, which means the 219 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: cylinder is pretty good unless you get a free runner. 220 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: So with him being a veteran, how is he able 221 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: to maybe see what's coming and potentially avoid some of 222 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: those pressure situations. But all the time that he's the 223 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: amount of time he's spent in the league game and 224 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: he's seen every defense he can see, so he can 225 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: read it very He's a very smart quarterback. He can 226 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: see his mobility is not the same as it was 227 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: when he was brand new. Nobody's is, but he's able 228 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: to look in to see and to discern quite a 229 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: bit pre snap because he's seen it all and so 230 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: now what he has to do. He's got some younger receivers. 231 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: He has to be able to transfer that to them 232 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: post snap, you know, so that they can be able 233 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: to get it. But his play actionability that he, just 234 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: like Ryan Tannehill, is one of the better play action 235 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league. Let's switch over to defense because 236 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: their defensive coordinator is someone that Titans fans who've been 237 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: around for a while are familiar with. Gus Bradley has 238 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: been in the league for a long time, including spending 239 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: some time as the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars 240 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: from twenty thirteen to twenty sixteen. So Mac, you've spent 241 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 1: time studying their defense. Obviously you're familiar with what Gus 242 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: Bradley does. What makes it so unique, Well, this is 243 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's defense. I mean, this is Pete Carroll's defense 244 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: when he was with him in Seattle. It's a three 245 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: match defense, which means they're gonna they're gonna evolve down 246 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: to a three deep zone, four under three deep somehow, 247 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: but they're gonna match. They're gonna match receivers. They'll play 248 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: man on one side and then they'll play zone on 249 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: the other they will pass off crossers to both the 250 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: man and the zone side. That sometimes he'll show you 251 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: a two shell and then drop down a safety to 252 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: the open side, or drop down a safety to the 253 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: tight side, and sometimes that safety will play like an 254 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: alert depth. In other words, he won't be right down, 255 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: you know, at the line of scrimmage, and so you 256 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: have to find out and you have to be able 257 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: to beat this. It's not very complicated, it's nuanced quite 258 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: a bit. But but what they count on is they 259 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: count on a four man rush, being able to get 260 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: you know, being able to put pressure on you, and 261 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: they count on not giving up the big play. And 262 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: that's that's what Pete Carroll was when they were very 263 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: successful with this three match and that's the same thing 264 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: that he's doing right now. And they just they want 265 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: to beat you with execution. That's what they're trying to 266 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: beat you with. So for the Titans, how do you 267 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: take advantag edge of a scheme like that, Well, you 268 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 1: got to protect your quarterback and that's big. The other 269 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: thing you gotta be able to do is run the 270 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 1: football because you've got to be able to draw, to 271 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: draw the second level, and I'm talking about one of 272 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: those lurk safeties being at the second level. You got 273 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: to draw them up to the line of scrimmage so 274 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: that then the combination routes that you run, you can 275 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: also give them some problems when you get into that 276 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: what I call that nine ball stack. You know where 277 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: you got the three guys and and break off at 278 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: various angles and various depths. But you've you've got to 279 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: be able to bring that second level up so that 280 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: you open up some of those passing lanes between the numbers. Well, 281 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: for the Titans offense, since we're talking about them, running 282 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: back Don Charles Hilliard has had a great start to 283 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two season. He's appeared in two games. 284 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: He's accumulated one hundred and thirteen yards of total offense, 285 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: including four receptions for ninety one yards and two touchdowns. 286 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: And I actually had a chance to sit down talk 287 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: with him a little bit about the confidence that he 288 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 1: has in himself and his abilities, and it was good 289 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: to get to know him all Right, John troll, as 290 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: I'm reading about you a little bit, the number one 291 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: line that I read is that you're one of the 292 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: best running backs that nobody's talking about Does that bother 293 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: you that nobody's talking about you? I'm bothering. I don't 294 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: too much care. By the end of the day, like 295 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: they'll find out that's it. So I don't bother. So 296 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: it's more of a what you're played? You this talking 297 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: exactly okay, exactly what it is? So are you a 298 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: chatty guy? Like? Describe your style? I guess are you 299 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: a talker or a player? I mean I have my moments. 300 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: Yeah that sparks that pops out, but I don't do 301 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: too much talking. But eventually, like once it gets amped 302 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: up enough to get rowdy a little bit. What is 303 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: it about you that set you apart from other running 304 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: backs in the NFL to do it all? Versatile? You 305 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: know it can't name too many things that I can't do. 306 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: So that's bold. I mean that's the name of the game. Like, 307 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: you gotta be bold to play this game. So I 308 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: like that you're bold, you're confident, and you've played in 309 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: a bunch of different places. Do you think that that 310 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: adds to your do it all kind of nature because 311 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: you've had to adjust to different styles, different coaches, that 312 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: kind of thing in a sense. But at the end 313 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: of the day. Like I've been like that since high school. 314 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: I was always be able to do different things on 315 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: the field, but by me going to different places, I 316 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: was able to pick up different techniques, different styles from 317 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: learn things from different people. So you're kind of a 318 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: melting pot of a bunch of different techniques in the sense. Yeah, 319 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: when I watch you move around and kind of play, 320 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: you just look like you're having fun. You look like 321 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: you genuinely enjoy what you're doing. Where does that maybe 322 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: joy come from? You always dream about this and you 323 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: found it. Every day you wake up, Okay, cool, I 324 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: get to go do something I'd love to do without 325 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: really having too much pressure behind it. You know, you 326 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: wake up dream about this since she was a kid, 327 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: and now you finally get off things to go through 328 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: what you love to do. When did you start playing football? 329 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: I actually started fifth grade literally, and Dan, I'm missing 330 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: a couple of years, played middle school one year and 331 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: actually really got started in high school. Why did you 332 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: start playing? It was something to do then I actually 333 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: got my first offer, Like like when I'm from kind 334 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: of gotta need something to do out to school, So 335 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: that was just something I got my first offer, you know, okay, cool, 336 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: like my momson gotta pay for college. This might be 337 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: something I can actually stick with. When did you realize 338 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: that you had the talent and the ability to make 339 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: it not just in college, but at the next level 340 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: of the pros, Like as a kid, you know, like 341 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: you see this on TV, like it's a motivation, like 342 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: thinking like nineteen years old, like then I got then 343 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: play with grown in at that point. But at the 344 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: end of the day, it's like you still got Oh 345 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: I ain't ready for that yet. But when I got 346 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: my first offer, I think it was from Georgia Tech 347 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: nine grade year, and I was like, okay, cool, Like 348 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: I askally make this happen. And that's when I really 349 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: started taking it serious. When you're taking it something like 350 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: that serious, like the game of football, it's so much 351 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: more than just what you do at practice. You know, 352 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: it's far reaching. How did your life change when you 353 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: made the commitment to football and making it a means 354 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: to go to school and then to make a living 355 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: as a professional. So it's alone, like a lot of 356 00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: calendars always that goes. You got to put in, you know, 357 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: things that nobody really sees. And even so this day's 358 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: still things that nobody see that you have to go 359 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: and deal with. You have to go put in a 360 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: personal time, study and work on your craft and lifting 361 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: weights or don't push ups at night. It's countless the 362 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,959 Speaker 1: things that that happens that nobody actually sees. So what 363 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: do you do besides football? How do you spend time 364 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: when you need to shut it all down for a minute. 365 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: So when I like to shut it down, I get 366 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: back to me. I go to my family. You know, 367 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: I'm kind of a family guy. I enjoy being around 368 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: my family and that kind of brings me back and 369 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: battles me up when everything get roddy roddy with football. 370 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: So they're your safe place. So when you think about 371 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 1: life after football, and I know you still have a 372 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: lot of football left, it's not anytime soon. Do you 373 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: have dreams, aspirations, things that you would like to do? Yeah, 374 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: like most, I want to be the ultimate family guy 375 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: could possibly be. Definitely want to like to dimda into 376 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: real estate and just pick up small little things that 377 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: I carry on after football because I kind of already 378 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: been focusing on and trying to hone into small things 379 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: as that. But at the end of the day, I'm 380 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: still enjoying every moment that I I came with football. It 381 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: all comes back to that joy and playing the game. Yeah, awesome, 382 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: Donello is nice to meet you. Thanks for taking some 383 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: time to shout with us. Mac. What is a guy 384 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: like Hilleard brought to this Titans offense. There's a lot 385 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: like Niheim Hines that we just talked about, you know 386 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: before your interview. He gives a different dimension to it. 387 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: He's an excellent route runner and he's got speed. He's 388 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: got speed to take it to the house. He can run. 389 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: He can run routes either removed or in the backfield. 390 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: So I mean, it's it's big and that's what you 391 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: have to have. The other thing is a lot of 392 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: times the problem that you have with a smaller back 393 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: that your third down back is they have protection problems, 394 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: you know. But he's a good blocker. He's a good blocker. 395 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: He's smart, he can he can he can discern how 396 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: they're how they're bringing people, and he has to work 397 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: in conjunction with the quarterback and the front being able 398 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: to sort out different pressures that they're going to bring him. So, 399 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a complete football player, and it's a 400 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: difference when he's on the field because you get some 401 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: favorable matchups with him. I mean, just as I talked 402 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 1: about Niheem Hines is tough on linebackers in a matchup, 403 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: so's Hilliard. Let's talk about some of the keys to victory. 404 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: It seems that offensively all roads run through Ryan Tannehill, 405 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: and he's had a pretty strong start to the twenty 406 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: twenty two season. What does he need to do to 407 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: help the Titans get a victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Well, 408 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: first of all, we got to run the ball. He's 409 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: got to hand it to Derek Henry and that's the 410 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: first thing he needs to do. And Derek Henry needs 411 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: to be able to continue what he started last week 412 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 1: against the Raiders. They've got to get him, They've got 413 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: We've got to get traction. We've talked last week about 414 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: getting traction in the run game. We need traction in 415 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: the run game against these people because that's really where 416 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: it all starts. And then Ryan Tannehill can go to 417 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: work with his play action because he's one of the 418 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: top quarterbacks in the league in play action. He's proving 419 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: it over all the years that he's been here, and 420 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: that's so we got. We need to get the traction 421 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: in the run game as to where it's respected. That's 422 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 1: the first thing that has to happen. On defense, the 423 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: Titans have a big task ahead of them. What do 424 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: they need to do to maybe establish some dominance within 425 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: this game early? Well, first of all, they can't let 426 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor to take the game over. I mean, you 427 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: can't do that. You've got it, You've got it. You've 428 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: got to put their offense on their left foot, meaning 429 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: their one dimensional. You've got to make them throw. You've 430 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: got to make them throw, and then when they throw, 431 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 1: you've got to figure out the matchups that you want 432 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: to take away and then live with the other matchups 433 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: because that's just the way it is in this league. 434 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: You take away what's most dangerous and then live with 435 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: the other. Okay, And so that's what they're gonna have to. 436 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: But they can't let Jonathan Taylor early in the football 437 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: game take it over because one thing they will do 438 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: differently than Josh McDaniel did last week with Josh Jacobs, 439 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: he quit running the ball. This group up there will 440 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: not quit running the football. So it's going to be 441 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,479 Speaker 1: an all day task getting that run under control the 442 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: Titans tag on the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium. 443 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: Kick Off for that time is noon Central time one 444 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern time. Mac, did I miss anything football wise 445 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: that we need to address about this matchup? You never 446 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: do your genius football wise? Well thanks, Mac, I sure 447 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: do appreciate that. Now that we have the football covered, 448 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the party aspect of this weekend, 449 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: because there is always a party aspect around a Tennessee 450 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: Titans football game as well. It should be Yes, I'm 451 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: all four of that. I know you are you. If 452 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: there's one person who likes a party, it's you, coach Mac, 453 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: and so I think we should let everybody know that 454 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans when they go to Indianapolis, because it's 455 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: so geographically close.
