Speaker 1: hot seat.
Speaker 2: Welnakers hot seat. Welcome, Thanks, Thanks, I like being here.
Speaker 1: Did you have a marvelous Christmas?
Speaker 2: Great Christmas, marvelous Christmas. Hope everybody listening to OTP had
Speaker 2: a great Christmas? I know you two? Did I know
Speaker 2: Amy had a did not have Santa Claus in her
Speaker 2: house because outdoors one of her daughters doesn't want Santa
Speaker 2: in the house.
Speaker 1: Is that right?
Speaker 3: That is true.
Speaker 4: We didn't leave cookie for Santa. We didn't want to
Speaker 4: create the illusion that he was welcome inside that house.
Speaker 2: The presence outside.
Speaker 4: Please leave all gifts outside, they really do, Yes, Santa
Speaker 4: Santa was not We didn't want Santa to enter the home, so.
Speaker 3: He left his gifts out. What do you we well,
Speaker 3: my daughter, Okay.
Speaker 4: Livy, Livy didn't love doesn't love the idea, I know, so, yeah,
Speaker 4: she she is nervous about the whole concept of Santa.
Speaker 4: She doesn't love it. She doesn't think that having him
Speaker 4: in her house is something that she likes. And so
Speaker 4: we left the presence outside.
Speaker 2: Can I stop a minute.
Speaker 3: We didn't let them enter.
Speaker 2: Can't stop a minute. It's not anything she doesn't like.
Speaker 2: She doesn't yike it.
Speaker 3: She doesn't yike it. Yeah, she doesn't. And so but
Speaker 3: it was fine. She likes the gifts.
Speaker 4: She's very appreciative to Santa and really glad that he
Speaker 4: is back at home for three hundred and sixty four days.
Speaker 1: But don't come in my house.
Speaker 4: She has asked me nine hundred times in the last
Speaker 4: twenty four hours. Is Santa back at the North Pole
Speaker 4: with missus Claus? Yes, yes he is. She needs to
Speaker 4: know where he is at all times.
Speaker 2: So everybody had a different kind of Christmas.
Speaker 4: Ours is a little more suspicious at my house, but
Speaker 4: magical nonetheless.
Speaker 1: So great, all right.
Speaker 2: So that branks us.
Speaker 1: To topic number one on the OTP pre game. Should
Speaker 1: the NFL keep playing Christmas games when Christmas falls on
Speaker 1: a Tuesday or Wednesday?
Speaker 2: Coach deph for me, Yes, absolutely, yes, absolutely, yes, the
Speaker 2: whole Netflix thing I thought was okay, but no matter
Speaker 2: when they play, people are going to watch. But I
Speaker 2: watched both of them with a huge house full of people,
Speaker 2: both of them back to back within So my aunts
Speaker 2: is yes.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you think even on a Wednesday, and you
Speaker 1: like how they did it where they had the teams
Speaker 1: who were going to play on Christmas play on Saturday,
Speaker 1: so they had an extra day, And.
Speaker 2: I absolutely did. I mean I wouldn't you know, if
Speaker 2: I were coaching a team, I would not be against
Speaker 2: playing on Christmas. We've done it.
Speaker 1: Before here right, Oh yeah, but not on Wednesday. No, No,
Speaker 1: But I'm saying that's my question is just the league
Speaker 1: is it worth playing on Christmas Day if the game
Speaker 1: if Christmas falls on what will be a Tuesday in
Speaker 1: a few years and a Wednesday again in six years.
Speaker 2: Yes? Absolutely, Yes. Lebron James didn't like it, but I
Speaker 2: having no problem.
Speaker 3: Lebron James is fifty five years old. That's different.
Speaker 4: So now those teams that played the Ravens, Chiefs, whoever,
Speaker 4: they now have an extended that's kind of nice.
Speaker 3: They have sit worth it well.
Speaker 1: But they and they played early as well. They played
Speaker 1: on Saturday, So it's not even as bad as going
Speaker 1: Sunday to third.
Speaker 4: So they played Saturday to and then to Wednesday WEDESDA.
Speaker 3: Now they get all that time off.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that kind of it's it's tough on the front end,
Speaker 4: but the recovery on the back end, especially in December,
Speaker 4: that's not bad.
Speaker 1: It means Houston's going to come in here with a
Speaker 1: lot of rest.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not great for us.
Speaker 1: But but nothing to play for That is kind of hoon.
Speaker 1: Houston is the four Seeds.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's Seeds decided.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is kind of nice.
Speaker 1: That will be fascinating to see how Demiko Ryans chooses
Speaker 1: to play this with a football team that is not
Speaker 1: playing well against the game that your owners want to
Speaker 1: win more than any other, especially because the Titans beat
Speaker 1: you on November twenty fourth, and the Titans are going
Speaker 1: to dress as the Oilers for that game. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: what is used to do? And they have this extra
Speaker 1: time to stew in their own juices about.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a great analogy. It's a perfect analogy.
Speaker 1: Mike, I'm with you asking the question.
Speaker 2: But they're stewing in their own juices because they've lost
Speaker 2: three in a row.
Speaker 1: They've lost three in a row, and I mean, listen, and.
Speaker 2: That's some juice you don't want to be in.
Speaker 1: Well, here's the other thing too, This is the one
Speaker 1: you want more than any other, and now you're playing
Speaker 1: it and it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you have to have your players healthy because
Speaker 2: you've lost three, right, you've got a secured spot. But
Speaker 2: now the only thing that makes the season successful is
Speaker 2: you got to win that first playoff game.
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. I mean in reality. I mean when
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien was the coach and Cal McNair was the owner, Yep,
Speaker 1: he sat people and Bill O'Brien I think just said, listen,
Speaker 1: we want to do well in the playoffs. So the
Speaker 1: the thing we can't have happen is we can't have
Speaker 1: our quarterback get hurt. We can't have you know, DeAndre
Speaker 1: Hopkins get hurt, or Andre Johnson get hurt or any
Speaker 1: of those players.
Speaker 2: No, because it's the NFL tournament's wan and done. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: so you've got to be as ready as you can be.
Speaker 4: I am interested in this conversation because it takes the
Speaker 4: football motivation part of it almost out of it. And
Speaker 4: there's the ego motivation. There's the bragging rights most who.
Speaker 1: Who can go and say, listen, this is what because
Speaker 1: now you got to win this game well, but or
Speaker 1: or say listen, we've got to be smart here because
Speaker 1: if we and I mean Jeff Fisher got this business
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight, I'll never forget it. We
Speaker 1: go to play Indianapolis, we've won the division, yep, we
Speaker 1: don't need the game, and he sets everybody, including Chris Johnson,
Speaker 1: and then we lose the first playoff game to Baltimore.
Speaker 1: So people can back to that and said, there is
Speaker 1: no way that you should, in any way, shape or
Speaker 1: form have not played your starters in that last game
Speaker 1: because you had the week off. Now Houston doesn't have
Speaker 1: the week off. But everybody got on Jeff Fisher about it,
Speaker 1: and Jeff's point was and it was so spot on.
Speaker 1: He goes, okay, fine, whatever, let's let's say you're right.
Speaker 1: If we play Indianapolis in a meaningless game and I
Speaker 1: get Chris Johnson hurt, Yeah, how dumb am I? Especially
Speaker 1: because we saw how that game with Baltimore in the
Speaker 1: playoffs turned. When Chris Johnson did get hurt.
Speaker 2: Was on CJ two k's high ankle spring right, inal right.
Speaker 1: But if that had not happened, But say it had
Speaker 1: happened in the regular season finale and you had not
Speaker 1: had him, and then you'd have lost the game. You'd
Speaker 1: have felt like a complete idiot.
Speaker 3: Right, See.
Speaker 2: What people need to understand that. I can tell you
Speaker 2: from a coach's perspective, you're not afraid to put him
Speaker 2: out there, but you also put them out there with
Speaker 2: the fact that they're going to be going one hundred
Speaker 2: miles an hour when they're out there, because that's the
Speaker 2: only way that you can play this game. It's violent
Speaker 2: and it can be unintentional. But if somebody's injured, it
Speaker 2: doesn't matter that you were playing that game and didn't
Speaker 2: have to win it. If they get injured, their injury matters.
Speaker 1: Sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's what he's up again.
Speaker 1: But on the flip side, if you're Demiko, what if
Speaker 1: you think they need to play?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you need to get this team all win.
Speaker 1: Well, but remember they don't have the week off. They
Speaker 1: will play week one of the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going back to back.
Speaker 1: They're going back to back. They will have had eleven
Speaker 1: days off coming into this game. I think he's got
Speaker 1: an interesting decision to make from that standpoint. But if
Speaker 1: he decides that he doesn't want to play them, which
Speaker 1: is totally reasonable and he's a good coach, then how
Speaker 1: hard is it going to be to sell that.
Speaker 4: Against because you'll love guys coming off of the Tennessee oilers.
Speaker 3: Here's the other part that caveat the conundrum.
Speaker 2: The Titans have already beaten him one. Well, that's it.
Speaker 1: If you had beaten him on November twenty fourth, I
Speaker 1: think I think it's it's a no cell. You don't
Speaker 1: have to sell it at all.
Speaker 2: And that's that's the other caveat to this.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: We'll find out.
Speaker 1: But do you, like, do you agree with coach Mack
Speaker 1: that the NFL should continue to play Christmas games when
Speaker 1: Christmas falls on Tuesday or Wednesday?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think so.
Speaker 4: I mean I think for the league, I mean, they
Speaker 4: made a good chunk of change off of those fifty million.
Speaker 1: Seventy five per game.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Who is the best person on the Netflix telecasts?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Because they had I mean they had eight hundred people
Speaker 1: that they trust everybody.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've had every person. I really liked Laura Rutledge
Speaker 4: and the mccordy's I thought that that was a really good,
Speaker 4: good parent, caring like they all three of them worked
Speaker 4: really well together.
Speaker 3: I thought that was good. I thought Noah Eagle did
Speaker 3: a great job.
Speaker 1: He's good.
Speaker 3: I thought he did a really good job.
Speaker 4: He was a topic of conversation at our house just
Speaker 4: because of how good he was.
Speaker 1: We've always thought he was good though, right, Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I mean twenty eight now I.
Speaker 3: Think, yeah, something like that.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the real thing.
Speaker 2: He didn't act like twenty eight.
Speaker 1: No, not, Well, he's like his dad. I mean he's
Speaker 1: like his dad. Clearly he has had some advantages because
Speaker 1: of who his dad is. But the bottom line is
Speaker 1: it's what you do with the advantage. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anybody who sees him and goes, well,
Speaker 1: he doesn't belong. Yeah, you're like and he The first
Speaker 1: thing you say is you go, he's twenty eight. Yeah.
Speaker 2: When I listened to him to a game, I'm not
Speaker 2: distracted by him, yep.
Speaker 3: Which he just does a game.
Speaker 1: Which is his dad.
Speaker 2: Straight, that's his dad too.
Speaker 1: I mean that's what you do say that I'm pretty distracted. No,
Speaker 1: you're not distracted.
Speaker 3: You'll distract believe you're both you move a lot, move
Speaker 3: a lot.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty close to you. I'm not distracted. I'm with
Speaker 2: you all right.
Speaker 1: Topic too. This is a coach mac question. Titans and
Speaker 1: the Jaguars will play for the second time in three weeks.
Speaker 1: When you play a team that quickly back to back
Speaker 1: as a coach, what do you have to change?
Speaker 2: The first thing you do, if you lost the game,
Speaker 2: you go back and you pull it apart and find
Speaker 2: out where we lost it. This one's a pretty easy one.
Speaker 2: You find out where you lost it. You didn't score
Speaker 2: when you got down in the red zone because you
Speaker 2: move the football right, ended up kicking. So you parse
Speaker 2: that what happened on the first, second and third down
Speaker 2: that made us have to kick field goals in the
Speaker 2: low red zone. The next thing you pull apart, you
Speaker 2: pull apart the second half where Brian Thomas Junior was
Speaker 2: a non factor in the first half and then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden he was all they had in the
Speaker 2: second half. You look at that and say, we've got
Speaker 2: to do something to start from game from the start
Speaker 2: of the game to keep him out of it. The
Speaker 2: third part of it is you look at what's been
Speaker 2: given you issues that the opponent is looking at on tape.
Speaker 2: You've got to get the run fixed. You got to
Speaker 2: get the run defense fixed. That's what you do. You
Speaker 2: look at what's happened to you. You look at what
Speaker 2: they're looking at. They will go back and look at
Speaker 2: the game and say, we were able to stop them
Speaker 2: in the low red zone. So let's see what they
Speaker 2: present us down there, and then they're going to feed
Speaker 2: the ball. Brian Thomas Jr. You know that that's getting
Speaker 2: ready to happen, and you have got to be able
Speaker 2: to solidify your run defense because Tank Bixby is their
Speaker 2: running back now at the end is a third down back.
Speaker 2: So that's what you got to do, all right.
Speaker 1: So that takes us to topic three, and that is
Speaker 1: something that happened on the Brian Callahan Show on Monday
Speaker 1: night that we did. We had Jeff Logoman on and
Speaker 1: one of my favorite he's fantastic. I mean, they between
Speaker 1: Frank Frangie, Tony Boselli and Jeff Logoman, great group that
Speaker 1: Jaguars have a great broadcast, no question. So when Amy
Speaker 1: and I had him on, we mentioned that Brian Thomas
Speaker 1: Junior was not involved in the first half of the
Speaker 1: Titans Jags game. On December eighth, and he informed us
Speaker 1: that he was to be involved, and that mac Jones
Speaker 1: apparently checked to other things things, and so in the
Speaker 1: first half of the game, Brian Thomas Junior two targets,
Speaker 1: no catches.
Speaker 2: That's not involved.
Speaker 1: Okay. At halftime, apparently Brian Thomas Junior was going to
Speaker 1: be part of the game plan because mac Jones was
Speaker 1: told don't check. Yeah, no more checking. Ten targets in
Speaker 1: the second half of the game, eight catches, eighty six yards.
Speaker 1: There it is, okay. And then against the Jets fourteen targets,
Speaker 1: ten catches, one hundred five yards, two touchdowns. Against the
Speaker 1: Raiders last weekend, thirteen targets, nine catches, one thirty two
Speaker 1: and a sixty two yard touchdown. So since mac Jones,
Speaker 1: according to Jeff Loghman, was told don't check, Brian Thomas
Speaker 1: Junior has thirty seven the last two and a half games.
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas Junior thirty seven targets.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: On those thirty seven targets, twenty seven catches, three hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty three yards in three touchdowns.
Speaker 2: You think mac Jones's got the memo.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question. But my question is
Speaker 1: how often does that happen in the NFL that you
Speaker 1: that back from your coaching days or from what you
Speaker 1: know of the league, that you put something in a
Speaker 1: game plan and it doesn't go the way you want
Speaker 1: it to because of a player decision. Let's call it
Speaker 1: and you come in and go listen, that's just we're
Speaker 1: going to do this.
Speaker 2: I've seen it. Of course, it depends on the quarterback. Okay,
Speaker 2: it mostly happens with veteran quarterbacks. Okay, okay, that's number one.
Speaker 2: I've experienced it. But I've also experienced it because not
Speaker 2: only mac Jones was told, but the play caller was told.
Speaker 2: I've experienced that at I've seen the head coach with
Speaker 2: a play caller at halftime when it wasn't quite going right,
Speaker 2: come up with a play sheet and say, look, I'm
Speaker 2: thinking of doing this and give me that thing. Here's
Speaker 2: what you're doing. You're going upstairs. I'm calling this thing.
Speaker 1: So it happens, ye, Well, it seems like it was
Speaker 1: a good decision.
Speaker 2: However, here's here's the here's the bad decision. Not doing
Speaker 2: it in the first half.
Speaker 1: Well, we we thought it was a great but Mike,
Speaker 1: you remember doing the game we were a little bit like,
Speaker 1: why are you not throwing to that guy?
Speaker 2: Why is that? Because that guy's really good? He is,
Speaker 2: and we we went you know, it.
Speaker 4: Just wasn't there, guys, two targets, said he only had
Speaker 4: two targets.
Speaker 1: Two targets.
Speaker 3: Wasn't there?
Speaker 1: And then the second half thing about three straight plays,
Speaker 1: it's it's like, Okay, we're gonna make this so obvious
Speaker 1: to our own people that this is what we're doing.
Speaker 1: We're gonna throw to him on the next three plays,
Speaker 1: whether he's open or not. If it's first and one,
Speaker 1: we're throwing the ball because.
Speaker 3: I need you to get the picture.
Speaker 1: Yes, we need everyone on the same page.
Speaker 2: And that's what happened. So anyway, that's what the Titans
Speaker 2: need to be ready for from the jump.
Speaker 1: From the jump, I mean, the guy's averaging eight targets
Speaker 1: a half since that game. That's wild, and that might
Speaker 1: be low. I mean they may throw to him twenty
Speaker 1: times on Sunday, and let.
Speaker 2: Me tell you, because of what's where they are and
Speaker 2: what they he's their best weapon.
Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah, he's really good to Is he even
Speaker 1: a little better than you thought he would be?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Because everybody's like Melik Neighbors, Milik Neighbors coming out
Speaker 1: of LSU.
Speaker 2: Well, see the thing on this guy was Mike notrupt.
Speaker 2: But you know that's how deep we do the draft. Sure,
Speaker 2: everybody thought this guy's really good, but he's just a
Speaker 2: linear dude. In other words, this is the guy that
Speaker 2: you can use with somebody that has got all the
Speaker 2: nuance route running and you can just you can run
Speaker 2: him through the defense and you know he'll be able
Speaker 2: to make the combat kit. He's really good at the
Speaker 2: nuanced routes and I mean he's better quicker than I
Speaker 2: thought he would be.
Speaker 1: Well, what's funny is he was taking twenty third in
Speaker 1: the first round. Remember Justin Jefferson went twenty second exactly,
Speaker 1: and people were kind of like, well, he's a really
Speaker 1: good athlete, but is he a really good receive? That's it,
Speaker 1: and that's what it feels like. That's what Brian Thomas
Speaker 1: Junior was too.
Speaker 2: That's it. That that was exactly it because everybody loved
Speaker 2: the package. Is it just is it nuanced enough, early
Speaker 2: enough and clearly it is. Wow, Yeah, he's all right
Speaker 2: unless you just get him two targets that it doesn't
Speaker 2: work so well, looks great, for your opponent.
Speaker 1: It's fantastic.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's gonna happen again.
Speaker 2: Guys, not gonna happen.
Speaker 3: I don't get that feeling.

Speaker 1: and better customer service FBHP dot com Topic four Titans
Speaker 1: defense coach has had a rough time in December. What's
Speaker 1: going on with the Titans defense in December?
Speaker 2: The first thing, when you're coaching defense and people can
Speaker 2: run the ball on you, that makes everything on ravel
Speaker 2: because now what has to happen, whether you want to
Speaker 2: or not, you need to start borrowing from the back end, okay,
Speaker 2: to get up there and help it. Now, when you
Speaker 2: do that and you put yourself in single high defense
Speaker 2: all the time, single high defense is the easiest deal.
Speaker 2: That's a safety in the middle with people down, everybody
Speaker 2: else down. That's the easiest defense in the world. For
Speaker 2: quarterbacks to read single high. You know, it's why everybody
Speaker 2: starts out. They start out in a shell with too
Speaker 2: deep and then morph into whatever you want to do.
Speaker 2: But if you're having trouble stopping the run that the
Speaker 2: Titans have had two out of the last you know,
Speaker 2: the Washington game particularly and the Indianapolis game, and you
Speaker 2: have to start borrowing people to bring it down there.
Speaker 2: Then when you're calling defenses, it puts everything caddywompus. I mean,
Speaker 2: now all of a sudden, all of a sudden, you're
Speaker 2: on your left foot defensively. And plus those eight gaps
Speaker 2: haven't changed in the history of foot I watched practice
Speaker 2: every day. I watched them practice against this RPO and
Speaker 2: some But you've got to be specific assignment sound. If
Speaker 2: you're not or if you're late at the second level
Speaker 2: where they're running gap schemes which they're doing now with
Speaker 2: the r PO gap scheme is where they're pulling a guard,
Speaker 2: pulling both guards pull a tackle. But you've got to
Speaker 2: replace gaps. If you're not replacing gaps fast enough from
Speaker 2: the second and the third and whoever the borrow guy
Speaker 2: is for the plus one for the quarterback. If you're
Speaker 2: not replacing gaps fast enough, you got problems. And that's
Speaker 2: what's happened.
Speaker 4: Can I ask a logistic question, who is responsible for
Speaker 4: making those gap adjustments? Is that the players on the
Speaker 4: field as it's happening, Is that the coach change.
Speaker 2: All week in practice those that scheme was not anything
Speaker 2: that they hadn't practiced. It's the same scheme without the
Speaker 2: true quarterback being the runner that the Titans run. Gap
Speaker 2: schemes have come back. It used to be all inside,
Speaker 2: all outside zone. I mean that was in vogue for
Speaker 2: a long time. Before that, it was the eye formation
Speaker 2: with the power plays. Okay, now everybody still has elements
Speaker 2: of all of those things. But these gap schemes, especially
Speaker 2: with these quarterbacks now that are that are runners. You
Speaker 2: you practice it all week, there's not anything different. And
Speaker 2: it also goes along with what I call a crunch.
Speaker 2: You hear me call that a crunt where they bring
Speaker 2: a tight end and use him as the next replaced
Speaker 2: blocker behind the line of scrimmage. He'll come behind the line.
Speaker 2: But all of that is practiced and so and especially nowadays,
Speaker 2: Amy with those tablets that you have used to be
Speaker 2: when you had those print outs, I mean you had
Speaker 2: to really be Sherlock Holmes to read those print outs
Speaker 2: and understand because I had to snap them, you know
Speaker 2: at particular times. Now with these tablets you can see
Speaker 2: exactly what's happening. But that is that's what drives you
Speaker 2: nuts as a player and as a coach. When you've
Speaker 2: practiced it, you know what they're doing and you can't
Speaker 2: stop it. That's the issue.
Speaker 1: So you talk about the fact that the aid gaps
Speaker 1: haven't changed ever. Ever. When we used to play years
Speaker 1: ago against wishbone teams or veer teams or wing tee teams,
Speaker 1: the big thing that we were taught is that you
Speaker 1: have got to stay in your lane and that you've
Speaker 1: got to keep your outside free. If we were in
Speaker 1: base defense, you got to keep your outside free so
Speaker 1: they couldn't turn you and open the holes. Things like
Speaker 1: that is it as simple as that. Even today, that
Speaker 1: guys are just taking bad angles to the holes and
Speaker 1: are getting their outside edges blocked, or things like that
Speaker 1: are happening.
Speaker 2: Or you're not getting your edge set fast enough, right,
Speaker 2: not getting your edge set fast enough, you're not replacing.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, linebackers are really important in this.
Speaker 2: First of all, it's hard on the defensive front of
Speaker 2: the interior because when you pull people now they're getting
Speaker 2: angle blocked, they're getting down blocked. So what they've got
Speaker 2: to do is this his polls. Now, I've got to
Speaker 2: play into this and not only play, you know, horizontally
Speaker 2: into the guy coming down on me, but then I've
Speaker 2: got to try to get vertical. Okay, that's number one.
Speaker 2: With all the with all the pin and pull, pin
Speaker 2: and poll, that's what it's what it's called. But the
Speaker 2: guys replacing, they're the guys that have to jump gaps.
Speaker 2: And not only jump gaps. You can't jump, you can't
Speaker 2: replace gaps and keep running sideways, right, because when you
Speaker 2: run sideways, all that happens is it stretches like this.
Speaker 2: Then if you don't get the edge set quick enough,
Speaker 2: and these guys don't react quick enough and you can't
Speaker 2: and you're getting blocked down on. That's why that that
Speaker 2: seventy yard run, I mean that was that was to
Speaker 2: the post safety with nothing but turf, right, nothing but turf.
Speaker 2: And then you've got a guy that runs four nothing,
Speaker 2: he's going to outrun you. So what you've got to
Speaker 2: be able to do. Everybody has their part in it.
Speaker 2: You've got to keep your part in it until it
Speaker 2: is here all the time. You set an edge, build
Speaker 2: a wall, right, and then run and hit.
Speaker 1: Just the reason I asked that question is because what
Speaker 1: you're talking about is what we were taught.
Speaker 3: Well, that's what it is got, you know, fundamental.
Speaker 1: Whether they were taking you've got to get to your spot.
Speaker 1: You got to beat that guy to the spot, and
Speaker 1: you absolutely cannot get hooked. Whatever it is. Do not
Speaker 1: get hooked because you've got a hustle to the spot.
Speaker 1: Because players of today, even on defense, don't do that
Speaker 1: a lot. Growing up, they don't play against that sort
Speaker 1: of as this comes back into vogue, did they know
Speaker 1: how to do that? Now? They do?
Speaker 2: Because you sure you practice it, but you've got see
Speaker 2: you can practice it all you want, right, but until
Speaker 2: you get on the turf at full speed and everything
Speaker 2: is rolling. I mean, it has to happen so fast
Speaker 2: that And again, I've coached with these coaches against I mean,
Speaker 2: when Russell Wilson came into the league, he brought that
Speaker 2: to Seattle because that's what he did at Wisconsin, right,
Speaker 2: was the RPO. And so we had we brought RPO coaches,
Speaker 2: offensive coaches from college, the best ones, the best ones
Speaker 2: to come in and give us clinics on what heard it?
Speaker 2: On what heard it?
Speaker 1: Okay, but isn't it fascinating it just talking about it.
Speaker 2: I like the fact that you bring up single wing,
Speaker 2: that you bring up wishbone. Oh, sure, they're all the same.
Speaker 2: Those principles are the same.
Speaker 1: But that's what's so incredible. I Mean, when Tom Landry
Speaker 1: brought the shotgun to Dallas, everybody thought, well, this is crazy.
Speaker 1: It's like, no, this is the single wing. He grew
Speaker 1: up playing. He knew what this was. These are still
Speaker 1: elements of things that we saw commonly in the seventies
Speaker 1: and eighties that are now being used in different ways.
Speaker 1: But the principles about how you have to play defense
Speaker 1: against it are still the same. Is that you've got
Speaker 1: to think on defense. You can't just I mean, listen
Speaker 1: if if I if I've got it right, and correct
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. But I mean, if you just
Speaker 1: turn it loose and start running upfield, and guys start
Speaker 1: running around blocks, which is some of what you're seeing
Speaker 1: in the I mean, if a guy runs around a block,
Speaker 1: he's taking himself out of the play.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not only himself. If you run around a block,
Speaker 2: then you've also got somebody else that is that. Now,
Speaker 2: Now the guy replacing behind you has got it, has
Speaker 2: got a cross face of two blockers right to be
Speaker 2: able to get where. Yeah, I mean, it's a siment football.
Speaker 2: It's a it's a it's a signment football. See. I
Speaker 2: used to love it coaching linebackers when somebody was going
Speaker 2: to just put a single back back there and run
Speaker 2: inside and outside zone. And I had a defense, you know,
Speaker 2: the defensive front was getting off and knocking back and
Speaker 2: it was it was one back, one gap. If I can, if,
Speaker 2: if if I can go downhill in that gap and
Speaker 2: teach by linebackers, this is your gap. You go downhill
Speaker 2: and into this gap. If you're the backside guy and
Speaker 2: you're the overlap guy, then we can start talking about now,
Speaker 2: how how are we going to play the point, Because
Speaker 2: at times, what you'll start to do, you talk about
Speaker 2: keeping your outside arm free, Then what you start to
Speaker 2: do is a defense. Then you start to you start
Speaker 2: to spill the block. So the guy's coming to try
Speaker 2: to reach it, you go underneath him or you you
Speaker 2: set him inside and you create the roadblock going outside.
Speaker 2: So it's a ying and the yang type of thing.
Speaker 2: But if you don't ever get it done early, you
Speaker 2: got a problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because and again I'm referring to years and years ago,
Speaker 1: if we did try a stunt, then the people behind
Speaker 1: us would know, oh, they're gonna stunt here, So I
Speaker 1: have to so I need to go more outside.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's it has to it's it's coordinated, right,
Speaker 2: It's like piano keys. I mean, you know it's it's
Speaker 2: coordinated it and it has to be. But the element is,
Speaker 2: and the element in this league when you've got quarterbacks
Speaker 2: like Jaden Daniels or you've got one like Richardson, now
Speaker 2: that are runners first, legitimate runners first. Then you've got
Speaker 2: to start plus one and then the old wishbone techniques
Speaker 2: coming to mean because now I mean, somebody's got to
Speaker 2: have the mesh, somebody's got to have the quarterback, and
Speaker 2: then somebody's got to have the perimeter. Now it's not
Speaker 2: so much the pitch anymore, Mike. Now the pitch part
Speaker 2: of it has become the throw on the RPO. The
Speaker 2: pitch has become the throw from the wishbone now. And
Speaker 2: then they read different things. They see how you're playing it,
Speaker 2: and they'll read the front side linebacker, or they'll read
Speaker 2: the back sideline backer. They'll read the three technique, they'll
Speaker 2: read the five technique. It's we can go deep if
Speaker 2: you want to.
Speaker 1: It's amazing to see some of this. I mean I
Speaker 1: saw play in an NFL game recently where they actually
Speaker 1: optioned the full back just like out of the old wishbone.
Speaker 1: They rode the full back through and left the ball
Speaker 1: in his belly and he went for I can't remember
Speaker 1: as a first down or a touchdown or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's like those It's fascinating how things come back.
Speaker 2: Well. Yeah, and you know, as I said, I mentioned before,
Speaker 2: we brought those guys into letting. When I know, you
Speaker 2: sit and listen to a clinic on this stuff, and
Speaker 2: then they start telling you what they're going to read,
Speaker 2: which Are they going to read the three technique? Are
Speaker 2: they going to read the shade, They're going to read
Speaker 2: the backside linebacker, They're going to read the front side
Speaker 2: outside back.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, we see some actual option now where they
Speaker 1: do option the end, which is crazy.
Speaker 2: Well, people are people. People are optioning now. And then
Speaker 2: they've got the wham person. Uh yeah, you know the
Speaker 2: wham principle where they bring somebody from the outside. Now
Speaker 2: that that Dan Lyman is looking and all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: he's not blocked and instead of somebody coming here, somebody's
Speaker 2: ear holding him here.
Speaker 1: Topic five. Titans have signed a kicker to the practice squad.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: They had Braydon Nervisen last week when they didn't know
Speaker 1: if Nick Folk couldn't go. Turned out Nick Folk couldn't go.
Speaker 1: Narvisen kicked in the game. He was released on Monday,
Speaker 1: and on Thursday they signed Matthew Wright to the practice squad.
Speaker 1: Matthew Wright, and we don't know if he'll kick or not,
Speaker 1: but he's on the practice squad. Yeah. He's appeared in
Speaker 1: twenty seven games. He's converted fifty one of fifty nine
Speaker 1: field goals, so he's only masty eight that's good. Forty
Speaker 1: of forty two extra points. He has twenty four touchbacks
Speaker 1: on ninety four kickoffs, right as seven of eleven on
Speaker 1: field goals of fifty plus with a long of fifty
Speaker 1: nine against Las Vegas in twenty twenty two while he
Speaker 1: was playing for the Chiefs. So there you go. Bizarre
Speaker 1: off season story for this guy. First of all, he
Speaker 1: comes into the league in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2: First of all, can I just say something.
Speaker 3: It's not weirder than selling bricks off season?
Speaker 2: Uh? I mean career stories for kickers. It's all bizarre
Speaker 2: because they're like this. You know how Saturn has a
Speaker 2: lot of rings around him. Yes, that's the world they
Speaker 2: live in.
Speaker 1: Well, it's interesting he would say that because when he so.
Speaker 3: He kicked, he lived in a Saturn.
Speaker 1: They lived in a Saturn. He helped make saturns in
Speaker 1: spring Hill years ago. No. Actually, so he goes to UCF. Okay, yeah, yep.
Speaker 1: He interns with Lockheed Martin while he aerospace engineering. Yeah,
Speaker 1: while he's at UCF. So after he tries out for
Speaker 1: the NFL and gets cut, he goes to work for
Speaker 1: Lockheed Martin.
Speaker 3: Of course he does as an aerospace engineer.
Speaker 1: I guess. So then he decides he's going to try
Speaker 1: the kicking thing. So obviously they're not going to let
Speaker 1: you just come and go as you please at a
Speaker 1: place like Luckheed Martin. So he's been around different places.
Speaker 1: We saw him in twenty twenty one. I'll go back
Speaker 1: to this in a moment, but let me give you
Speaker 1: his off season this year. Okay, twenty twenty four. So
Speaker 1: Matthew Wright spent the two twenty twenty four offseason with
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh before they waived him August twenty sixth, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: So right at the end of training camp. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: So he does nothing with a team for six weeks.
Speaker 1: Is He's signed by San Francisco to replace the injured
Speaker 1: Jake Moody on October eighth. He makes all three of
Speaker 1: his field goal attempts at Seattle on October tenth, Good job.
Speaker 1: Stays with the team until November fifteenth, when they wave.
Speaker 3: It Okay, no longer in San Francis.
Speaker 1: So he's no longer in San Francisco as of the
Speaker 1: middle of November. Wright was then signed to the Kansas
Speaker 1: City practice.
Speaker 2: Squad just three teams.
Speaker 1: Eleven days later, November twenty sixth, He made four of
Speaker 1: five field goals against Las Vegas on November twenty ninth.
Speaker 1: He then hit four of four field goals, including a
Speaker 1: thirty one yard game winner that banged off the left
Speaker 1: upright against the Chargers. On December the eighth, Wright was
Speaker 1: named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. There
Speaker 1: you go, and the same week he was cut. He
Speaker 1: was cut December fourteenth, twenty twenty four. So he signs
Speaker 1: with the Titans twelve days later, the day after Christmas,
Speaker 1: December the twenty sixth. But he's also part of one
Speaker 1: of the more bizarre stories that technically involves the Titans.
Speaker 1: Do you remember when urban Meyer was coaching Jacksonville in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3: I liked it when Yeah, that was a good time
Speaker 3: for us.
Speaker 1: I liked it when he was Yes, he did a
Speaker 1: really good job.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we really love that.
Speaker 1: So he gets into they have a kicker who's out
Speaker 1: of this world named Josh Lambeau.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Josh Lambeau misses a couple of field goals
Speaker 1: in preseason allegend, urban Meyer comes. I think they said
Speaker 1: he kicked him duringstrac and he said, hey, dip blank
Speaker 1: fill in the blank, dip blank blank. Uh, this is
Speaker 1: allegedly make your blank and field goals.
Speaker 2: That's okay, that's normal. That's good.
Speaker 1: So the Josh Lambo thing didn't didn't go well, so
Speaker 1: they eventually cut Josh Lambeau, who gets off to Not surprisingly,
Speaker 1: Josh Lambo is a little wigged out by the whole thing. Yes,
Speaker 1: allegedly started the year of three and they cut him.
Speaker 1: They replaced him with Matthew Right. There we go, Matthew right.
Speaker 1: So we go down there to play and Matthew Wright
Speaker 1: is just off the practice squad. He's like, what here?
Speaker 1: I yeah, And Matthew Wright ends up missing a fifty
Speaker 1: three yarder against the Titans, missed an extra point against
Speaker 1: the Titans. Would play against the Titans later in the year,
Speaker 1: but all he did was kick off one time. Because
Speaker 1: the Titans won that game twenty to nothing. That that
Speaker 1: was the last that's the last Titans shutout. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: he's kicked against the Titans twice. He's also kicked for Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: Kansas City, Sancisco, San Francisco. He's spent time with Atlanta,
Speaker 1: with Detroit. It's he has good numbers.
Speaker 2: See, I'm so glad that you share this with the
Speaker 2: ot people like this because this is what we get
Speaker 2: in the booth all the time, the crazy.
Speaker 1: This is the part of it. They start to glaze over.
Speaker 2: You have got information on information and and and and
Speaker 2: an interesting minutia.
Speaker 1: It's not is it?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh, I love it. I mean I absolutely love it.
Speaker 1: Final fact on Josh Lambeau, just to wrap it up
Speaker 1: in a bow. Yeah, do you remember the last team
Speaker 1: Josh Lambeau kicked for no, No, he was the Titans
Speaker 1: kicker during in the Thursday night when at Green Bay
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, he.
Speaker 3: Made during all of our kicker chaos.
Speaker 1: Well, Randy Bullock was heard.
Speaker 2: That's when Bullock got it.
Speaker 1: And so he made three or four extra points. That
Speaker 1: was the last game Josh Lambeau ever kicked in in
Speaker 1: the NFL.
Speaker 2: And when Josh Lambeau was here, nobody kicked him during stretch.
Speaker 3: That we know of, allegedly allegedly.
Speaker 2: It is so just so love that. Again, I go
Speaker 2: back to that's the world those kickers living.
Speaker 1: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: It's a whole different subset of people.
Speaker 3: It really is. But that's the best way.
Speaker 1: To explain this to me. And I want you to
Speaker 1: be totally serious with this answer, right, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know if Matthew Writ's kicking Sunday or not. No,
Speaker 1: I would think Nick Folk wants to go. Hopefully he does,
Speaker 1: but whatever, yep, But what in handling them? I mean,
Speaker 1: this guy, he's been all over the place trying to
Speaker 1: keep a job. He's had some success. There's got to
Speaker 1: be a part of him that wonders, why hasn't somebody
Speaker 1: just given me a real shot. He's made fifty one
Speaker 1: of fifty nine field goals in the NFL, but nobody
Speaker 1: has ever chosen him as their guy. So you know
Speaker 1: this is in this person. How do you handle them
Speaker 1: as a coach? When you as a head coach? Yes,
Speaker 1: I never talked to him, really, No. I would hire
Speaker 1: the best special teams coach I.
Speaker 2: Could hire everywhere. I was right, ended up with a
Speaker 2: great one in Bones Fossil.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jeff Fisher. You'd say Jeff Fisher was a pretty
Speaker 2: good head coach for a lot of years. Right. He
Speaker 2: never messed with the Kickers, never met hired special teams coaches.
Speaker 2: The only thing Fish would do on special teams with
Speaker 2: a special teams coach is draw up all that fake
Speaker 2: stuff that aj Trapasso, right, all the stuff that we
Speaker 2: used to do. He'd get involved in that. But technically
Speaker 2: teaching them, it's like, these guys are like golfers, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: they've got swing coaches and they've got particular ways they
Speaker 2: do it. And if you get in there, I knew
Speaker 2: that I didn't know anything about technically to talk. Now
Speaker 2: I could tell them, look, those two yellow things go
Speaker 2: between them. I will tell them that. Glad to have
Speaker 2: you here, you know, and put you on our shoulders
Speaker 2: when you make it. Congratulations. You're a big part of
Speaker 2: this team. But you start messing with those guys if
Speaker 2: you don't really understand what they go through. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's a you, it's they're just like golfers, man. Because
Speaker 2: to your point, this dude, you watch the PGA too, Yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: how pure those guys are. But you also if you
Speaker 2: watch tournaments, you watch them hit off, shank one, sure,
Speaker 2: pull one left, whole one. Right. Well, what it's a
Speaker 2: it's it's an amazing thing.
Speaker 1: But the guys that we're watching on the PGA Tour
Speaker 1: are the guys who are out there every week. We
Speaker 1: don't often get to see the guys who get in
Speaker 1: on one sponsors exemption a year or or they're trying
Speaker 1: to keep their card. I mean, yeah, I mean we see,
Speaker 1: you know, we see all the guys who are the things.
Speaker 1: We don't see the ones who are fighting, you know,
Speaker 1: because every once in a while one of them gets
Speaker 1: in the last two or three groups of the day,
Speaker 1: but rarely. I mean, Nick Folk's a guy who's kept
Speaker 1: a job in the league forever. Yeah, Matthew Writ's twenty
Speaker 1: eight years old. I don't know how you do that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's trying to get his card. He's trying to
Speaker 4: catch on.
Speaker 2: And the thing about it is all of these guys
Speaker 2: can kick. Oh yeah, they can all Just like the
Speaker 2: golfers that are on the that are on those those
Speaker 2: tour minor tours trying to get there, they can all
Speaker 2: play better than ten two percent. They're the two percent
Speaker 2: that can play at that level. Yeah, And so it's
Speaker 2: just that's why you've got to appreciate a guy like
Speaker 2: Nick Folk. That's why we appreciated a guy like when
Speaker 2: we had Craig Hentrick here, sure, I mean, because to
Speaker 2: do it year after year after game after game after game. Mike,
Speaker 2: you remember when Fish, when we were having when we
Speaker 2: were having all those kicking problems, and we when we
Speaker 2: brought Gary Gary Anderson, Gary Anderson back in, brought Gary
Speaker 2: Anderson back in this true story. Now Gary Anderson runs
Speaker 2: a fly fishing camp in Canada.
Speaker 3: Well, sure, why wouldn't he expert expert?
Speaker 2: So we brought when fish call and brought him in.
Speaker 2: Said hey, Gary, we need you. Now. You called a
Speaker 2: lot of his field goal. Sure if it was if
Speaker 2: it was a thirty nine yard er, he kicked it
Speaker 2: thirty nine and a half. If it was forty two,
Speaker 2: he kicked it forty two and a half. It had
Speaker 2: just easy. But during practice he would set up rings
Speaker 2: in the indoor and practice fly fishing, you know, throwing
Speaker 2: it in, throwing it in rings, and then when it
Speaker 2: was time to kick, send Matt Thompson in there. Matt,
Speaker 2: go get Gary. It'd come out okay, so make it
Speaker 2: six or seven, go back in.
Speaker 1: But you know Jeff wanted him so badly. You'll remember
Speaker 1: this that when Joe Nedney got hurt for a second time, Yes,
Speaker 1: in two thousand and four, they couldn't get Gary in
Speaker 1: in time because he had stuff that he had to
Speaker 1: do with his business. Yes, so they used was it
Speaker 1: Aaron elling, I think that's who it was that we
Speaker 1: used for a week that ended up having to punt
Speaker 1: in the Miami game. He was the AFC Special Teams
Speaker 1: Player of the Week and then we waived him on
Speaker 1: Monday to bring Gary here. It is because Gary wasn't
Speaker 1: trying to do any of that macho stuff. He was
Speaker 1: not trying to see how far he could kick it.
Speaker 1: Coach said it just right. All Gary was trying to
Speaker 1: do is make it and that was it. I mean,
Speaker 1: he was going to make the field goal. He was
Speaker 1: not going to show you how strong his leg was,
Speaker 1: and he wasn't about setting records or anything like that.
Speaker 1: He just made the field goal and he left. But
Speaker 1: he was so reliable, and reliability is what you want,
Speaker 1: and that's what and that's what Jeff wanted, is that
Speaker 1: they said, well, we understand Gary can't get here in time,
Speaker 1: so we'll use this guy as a one game filling.
Speaker 3: He just made the field goals and then left.
Speaker 1: It. I could show you footage he would hit the
Speaker 1: kick and then start towards the sidelines. He would he
Speaker 1: would not. I'm not saying it's not.
Speaker 3: That he was not interested.
Speaker 4: He was just he wouldn't watch it.
Speaker 1: He wouldn't watch it. No, he didn't watch it, and
Speaker 1: and and again. He didn't stand and admire how far
Speaker 1: up the netted hit or anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: He all he did was make it and then he left.
Speaker 2: I mean it was he was.
Speaker 1: He's a great dude from Sweden. Yeah he was.
Speaker 2: He was. Yeah, he was one of the best dudes
Speaker 2: in the history of guys. I really loved guy because
Speaker 2: he was so called. Back to the PGA Tour. You
Speaker 2: ever watched Freddy Couples play golf? Yes, even at this age.
Speaker 2: I mean it is silk still smooth. Yeah, and he
Speaker 2: did Ernie L's that's the same swing. But but this
Speaker 2: is like Gary when hit it, just walk start walking.
Speaker 2: I know it's good.

Speaker 1: As the Titans get ready to play Jacksonville, here we go.
Speaker 1: Key number one. Run the football. The Titans did run
Speaker 1: the football well against the Jaguars on December eighth. Tennessee
Speaker 1: had control of that game, and while they didn't finish
Speaker 1: the job that day, the run game was not the issue.
Speaker 1: Fine place to start towards offensive success in Jacksonville on Sunday,
Speaker 1: Key number two. Get the Jaguars in third and five
Speaker 1: plus with titand Evan Ingram out for the season with
Speaker 1: a shoulder injury, Jacksonville's best run after the catch weapon
Speaker 1: is not available. If quarterback Mac Jones has to hold
Speaker 1: the football to wait on receivers to come open on
Speaker 1: third and five or more chances for a sack and
Speaker 1: an interception increase. Key number three. Play the same game
Speaker 1: only better. This is incredible. The loss to Jacksonville on
Speaker 1: December eighth was the first time in the sixty five
Speaker 1: year history of the franchise that the Titans have lost
Speaker 1: a game when they have been plus two in turnover
Speaker 1: ratio and limited the opponent to ten points or less.
Speaker 1: That won't happen again. So when turnover ratio hold Jacksonville
Speaker 1: to ten points or less, but this time take better
Speaker 1: advantage of opportunities to score touchdowns. If the Titans do that,
Speaker 1: this Sunday history shows Tennessee will not lose.
Speaker 3: You've stopped trying your way over head.
Speaker 1: Well, I stopped trying on the key points.
Speaker 3: You stop trying on the time time limit?
Speaker 1: Yep, well nobody cared.
Speaker 3: I care.

Speaker 4: like they weren't even trying.
Speaker 1: Maybe so huh.

Speaker 1: Well, here's our mayotivation. Don't kick your kicker. Don't kick

Speaker 1: your house.
Speaker 4: Don't let's say, hey, this is not a problem at
Speaker 4: my home any longer. It's over. The threat has been neutralized.
Speaker 4: Santa's thank you for doing this until Easter.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you for sitting in the Snickers hot seat.

Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 2: I took it.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna fill it with mayonnaise next time. See if
Speaker 3: you steal that.
Speaker 1: Probably delicious but harder to give away.
Speaker 3: You would steal it for coach.
