I think they've got a little 29 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: camel in their color scheme. Mike Keith losing credibility by 30 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: the minute. I'm on your side. Thank you coaching her. 31 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: She's a fan of Edgar, not Alan or Poe. Straight 32 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: three ravens. They have Edgar, Allan and Poe. Isn't that true? 33 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: Poe is their big mascot. They do have a live raven. 34 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: That is not a thing that I have her masters 35 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: I found do birds, okay, So releasing a raven in 36 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: the stadium is not fantastic for me. So no, I 37 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: never interacted with the live creatures, not my things. They 38 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: do have the three right the three maybe Okay, one 39 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: is too many. So I don't know beyond that. Coach 40 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: Mack your thoughts on mascots. I know I don't know 41 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: all the mascots in the league. I used to I 42 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: told you this story, I think on the otp uh 43 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: when I was coaching here, I'd take one hundred dollar 44 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: bill behind the screen and put it down, and then 45 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: sometime during the week, I would just randomly ask around 46 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: the room, uh point one person out and nobody else 47 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: could talk, what's the name of this opponent's mascot that 48 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: we're playing? If they could tell me, one hundred dollars 49 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: if they couldn't went into the pot next. How often 50 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: did you have to give up the hundred dollars? They 51 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: started checking when once I started doing it, they all 52 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: started checking. So once they knew what was coming, they 53 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: all looked and would find out unless they were really 54 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: not paying attention. But I mean, who didn't want one 55 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: hundred bucks? No, I mean they it would be It 56 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: would amaze you as the money that players make. What 57 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: you know, I used to do that shoe carnival out 58 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: here every Saturday, where I would pay the practice sque 59 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: players fifty dollars if they could make a field goal 60 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: from the twenty yard line and then we would back 61 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: it up every week. Okay, and you know they to 62 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: go twenty twenty you know, so paid out quite a 63 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: bit of money on that too, and they'd be out 64 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: there practicing. But that's more of a statement, not about money, 65 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: but just about how competitive is one hundred percent right, 66 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: It's what I'm saying. It's not about the money, it's 67 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: about competing for something. It's good stuff. I'd compete with 68 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: you guys for one hundred dollars for anything, really, or 69 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: we could bet. Hey, you don't. You're not allowed to 70 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: wear purple if you lose. I'm not wearing purple. Sure 71 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: I do look great in purple, but I'm not wearing Okay, 72 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: So let's move along now that Jim's gotten that out 73 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: on the table about who Amy's four in this game. Jim, 74 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna have a talk later. It's now been four days, 75 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: four days since the Titans went to Foxborough and won. 76 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: Amy Wells, I'm gonna give you the first crack at 77 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: this Of all of the takes that you've heard everywhere 78 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: about the Titans win at New England, what has been 79 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: the most interesting take to you that all of this, 80 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: the Titans success in New England, that the Titans success 81 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: really in the second half of the season has been 82 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: kind of a fluke flash in the pan is not sustainable. 83 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 1: I think that is the wackiest thing I have ever heard, 84 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: because the Titans are doing exactly what all good teams do. 85 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: They kind of get their feet on the ground at 86 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: the midpoint of the season, and then they increasingly become 87 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: more and more successful and they win the games that matter. 88 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: The Titans are doing what every other team who is 89 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: successful and credible does, but somehow, when we do it 90 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: it is called unsustainable, and when other teams do it, 91 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: it's peaking at the right time. Jim, why well, I mean, 92 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: I think the most almost comical I think, you know 93 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: what's generated a lot of conversation is just the way 94 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: that Mike Vrabel kind of manipulate the clock at the 95 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: end to kind of return the favor for something Bill 96 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: Belichick thought was funny when he did it against the 97 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: Jets in a blowout game. And here we saw Mike 98 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: Rabel do it and it worked for him. Um could 99 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: have backfired. I mean, if the Patriots end up scoring 100 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: and the title don't have a lot of time. Certainly 101 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: you run the risk there, but that whole scenario I 102 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: gotta kick out of um and enjoyed the conversation about 103 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: it as well, Coach mac. The national narrative is that 104 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: that's the end of the Patriots dynasty, the end of 105 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: Tom Brady is a Patriot. It's that that that loss 106 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: will start the decline of the Roman Empire. I mean, 107 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: that's the one that's been in the national narrative a lot. 108 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: Mine was actually how non objective a lot of the 109 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: media across the country is when it comes to the Patriots. 110 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: They are really hated. Yeah. I mean there are so 111 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: many people who and they and a lot of these 112 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: national guys and girls don't make any bones about it. 113 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, I'm so glad they're out of it. 114 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: It's like, wow, I mean, people just drop the facade 115 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: of objectivity. Ago, I hate these people. I'm so glad 116 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: they're out of it. I was stunned by that. I 117 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: think people are bored, like they're so tired of seeing 118 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: these people come in and win a game and win 119 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Blah blah blah. It's the same cast 120 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: of characters. It's lame, like it's time to move on. 121 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: I'd never thought about, you know, like I said, the 122 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: take is. I mean, I'm not surprised that there are 123 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: fans that feel that way. I've just been surprised by 124 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: the media that has just admittedly, you know, been so 125 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: open about. Man, I'm glad these guys are out of it. 126 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: I'm sick of them. It's funny. I don't have this. 127 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I get the wanting a new champ or 128 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: wanting some new blood in the super Bowl. I've always 129 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: respected Bill Belichick and just what he's been able to do, 130 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: and the same with Tom Brady. I mean, I think 131 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: it's incredible and if this is the end, I means 132 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: a hell of a run. I'm like you, I'm exactly 133 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: like you. I've never been that. I mean, I've just 134 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: always respected more what they have done and been amazed 135 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: by it because it's it's so hard, because we're around 136 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: it every day, and you know, when teams say it 137 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: is so hard to win, people go, yeah, yeah, whatever, 138 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: But it really is in this league. I mean, it 139 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: is so hard, and so I've always just kind of 140 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: had a grudging respect for them. I've never had the hatred, 141 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: but we must be in the minority gym with you. 142 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I've you know, and I've competed against him 143 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: for a lot of years teams going. But I respect 144 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: what he's done, especially in the era of free agency 145 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: in the salary cap. To stay at that peak of 146 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: excellence for that long and be able to stay on 147 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: top like he has with a lot of different people 148 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: except for the same quarterback, it's an amazing accomplishment. It 149 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: really is in its business. Let's move to this week's opponent, Baltimore. 150 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: Other teams run the offense that they run to some extent, 151 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: but here they are two hundred and six rushing yards 152 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: per game, two hundred two passing yards per game, thirty 153 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: three points per game, forty seven percent third down conversions, 154 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: seventeen of twenty four on fourth down conversions. Time of 155 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: possession what nearly thirty five minutes a game. Why are 156 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: the Ravens so adapt at running this kind of offense 157 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: which some people try some of but don't do to 158 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: this extent. Well, they're all they're all in on this 159 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: option offense. I mean you say some people try some 160 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: of it, I mean, you know, the the RPOs, which 161 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: is run pass option, is completely different from this. This 162 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: is a true option game, and they run every form 163 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: of option you can run, both out of one back 164 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: and out of two back. They run speed, power, counter, follow, 165 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: They run every type of option you can. They run 166 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: it out of different personnel groups. They give you different looks. 167 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: They use that thirteen personnel, which is a hard personnel 168 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: group to line up to and match up with anyway, 169 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: and then they've got the right combination of people. When 170 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: I talk to isazy Knewsom about this, I ask him, 171 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: when did you go all in? Because they're willing, and 172 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: they were willing as an organization to put the quarterback 173 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: as the primary runner in this offense because because he 174 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: is now you know Ingram's doing a tremendous job and 175 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: it all, it all generates. The option does from the 176 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: first mesh, the first mesh with the running back. But 177 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: this quarterback, they don't care how much he runs. Most 178 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: people protect their quarterbacks from running. In the National Football League, 179 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 1: their quarterback is the primary runner and he's very skilled 180 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: at it. I talked to Logan Ryan about Baltimore and 181 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: the offense and what they've been able to do, and 182 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: he kind of rolled his eyes at me. He was like, 183 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's not that impressive. It's what they do 184 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: in college all the time, Like it's a college scheme. Basically, 185 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: he said, the thing that makes it so impressive is 186 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: that they're running those college formations, those college style plays 187 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: with professional athletes, so the execution level is so much higher. 188 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: So he said that it's really about figuring, Like figuring 189 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: out what they do isn't necessarily the hard part. The 190 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: athleticism and being in position to actually stop them from 191 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: doing it is the hard part. Yeah, And it's just 192 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: so different, I mean, and it's not what you're used 193 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: to seeing on Sundays. And they've got a quarterback who 194 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: they've turned it over that's just you know, hard to 195 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: pin down. And he's so elusive, and I think the 196 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: fact he throws a ball so Will kind of gets 197 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: overlooked because he's such a great athlete. So that you know, 198 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: the guy running the show on offense has had a 199 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: heck of a lot to do with their success. And 200 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: I think is the MVP of the league. Lamar Jackson 201 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: averages twelve carries per game and he's getting him in. 202 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he's getting twenty twenty five yard chunks when 203 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: he when he breaks free. All right, So let's talk 204 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: about the guy running the overall Baltimore offense. It's a 205 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: guy named Greg Roman. Greg Roman was in San Francisco 206 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: when Colin Kaepernick was there and he set up the 207 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: system for Kaepernick. You played against him several times, several 208 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: times in the NFC West coach mac so. Greg Roman 209 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: was in San Francisco when Super Bowl forty seven happened, 210 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: San Francisco played Baltimore, and Dean Pas, the Titans defensive coordinator, 211 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: went against Greg Roman head to head in terms of schemes. 212 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: So that's gonna happen again this weekend, Dean Pas against 213 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: Greg Roman. Does it help Dean peas that he has 214 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: done this against Greg Roman before when Roman was running 215 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: this type of offense in San Francisco. It absolutely does. 216 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: It absolutely does because he I mean, you know, of course, 217 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: Dean's been doing this a long time. But when you're 218 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: when you're getting ready to get an NFL defense ready 219 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: for the option, and it goes to what Jim said, 220 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you don't see it a lot, so you 221 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: have to you have to have a very concise and 222 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: clear plan when you first present it to the players, 223 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: and then you have to walk through alignments, assignments, uh 224 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: Dean having done this before, and of course Dean has 225 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: a vast amount of experience, but his experience against Greg Roman. 226 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: I went against Greg Roman when I was in the 227 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: NFC West with the Rams and with San Francisco when 228 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: Kaepernick you know, was running this these Baltimore has taken 229 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: it to another level because it is their offense. It 230 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: is their offense totally. Greg Roman when he was at 231 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: San Francisco did not have the free reign to run 232 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: the whole thing. He's got it now. So this is 233 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 1: even more detailed. But it will help that Dean's gone 234 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: against it. Yes, all right, let's go to another point. 235 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: These two teams played last October Ober in Nashville, and 236 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: you can't really talk about the offensive thing with Baltimore 237 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: because Joe Flacco was still the quarterback. We've got Joe 238 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: Flacco problem. Joe Flacco's somewhere else now, thank god. He yes, 239 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: I think I'd rather have Joe Flacco back there. I 240 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. We didn't do much with 241 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco over the years, so I don't know. So 242 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 1: the game, but the thing we can talk about is 243 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,239 Speaker 1: the Titans offense against the Ravens defense and Wink Martindale 244 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: the greatest name in sports. It makes me so happy. 245 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: But you know, Wink Martindale's from Jackson, Tennessee. Really yes, 246 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: well it sounds like that's the same guy. Well, Wink 247 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,079 Speaker 1: Martindale was the game show host and the and also 248 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: the disc jockey who's originally from Jackson, went to Memphis, 249 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: was great friends with Elvis. As a matter of fact, 250 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Elvis. Happy Elvis would have been eighty five. 251 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: That's right. So, but Don Martindale is a longtime pro 252 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: j of Dean Peas who when Dean Pas retired and 253 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 1: then came out of retirement to come to the Titans, 254 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: took over the Ravens defense last year. In the game 255 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: here in October, the Titans put up a big one 256 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: hundred six yards against Wink Martindale's defense. Not the game 257 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: show host, the other guy. The other guy one of 258 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: ten on third downs Titans had the ball for twenty 259 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: two twenty six in the game. I mean it was 260 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: a beatdown, no question about it. So here's my question. 261 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: Will Arthur Smith, the Titans offensive coordinator, be able to 262 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: pick up much from Wink Martindale's plan from last October 263 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: that he can use this Saturday night. I think some, 264 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: but I think that what he's going to mainly draw 265 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: from is just what he's seen this year and just 266 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: the way they've approached things and just the way they pressure. 267 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: That's what they're known for. I mean, that was one 268 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: of the ugliest Titans games that we've ever seen. It 269 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: was kind of a perfect storm the wrong way, and 270 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: that's you know, Marcus was taking sacks. Offensive line was 271 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: given up sacks Titans. It was terrible. Price was wrong 272 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: that day. So that is so good for both of you. 273 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: So um so I think the key I mean, oh 274 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: my god. I mean there was no Ryan Tannehill that day, 275 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: No A. J. Brown. You know, Derrick Henry wasn't the 276 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry note we know now, So the Titans have 277 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: more pieces to counter some of the stuff they're gonna 278 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: see on Saturday Night against Baltimore. But uh, it's a 279 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: challenge facing that defense, and I think it's one of 280 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: these games where you're gonna have to continue to try 281 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: to run the football against them to kind of keep 282 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: them on their heels a little bit. So you can 283 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: see a lot of defense three. But he's bringing people 284 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: from a lot of different areas, so he's going to 285 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: give you a variety of looks, and yes, that will 286 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: help look at that, but he also has a big 287 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: body of work to look at this year. The difference 288 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: with this defense this year, this defense that Wink has 289 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: this year has been playing with so many points on 290 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: the board that they can do a lot of different things. 291 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: Having been a defensive single caller in this league, I 292 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: can tell you it's a lot easier to dial up 293 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: a lot of real cool things when you've got a 294 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: lot of parts to play with. He's had a lot 295 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: of parts to play with this year, so he's been 296 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: more creative than ever. All Right, Amy Wells, you get 297 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: the next one outside of and everybody's gonna get it 298 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: here outside of Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry. Give me 299 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: a Titans player who must have a good game for 300 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: the Titans to have a chance to win in Baltimore 301 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: Saturday night. I say a J. Brown because the Tennessee 302 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: Titans are gonna need some points. I think this isn't 303 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: going to be one of these thirteen to fourteen type 304 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: of plays. This is going to be a game where 305 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans need to put a lot of points 306 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: on the board, and A. J. Brown's the guy to 307 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: do it. Coach Mac is going to be both safeties 308 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: on defense and whoever is setting the fronts for the defense. 309 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: What do you mean by setting the front? You got 310 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: to get a lined up right against this offense because 311 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: the different formations and different personnel groups you're going to see. 312 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: Because by the well, the way you line up, it 313 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: determines what your responsibilities are versus the option, the dive, 314 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: the quarterback, the pitch, and you've got to get lined 315 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: up quickly. So whoever is setting the front and then 316 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: the two safeties, because the two safeties are your guys 317 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: that have to be the extra guys in the option 318 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: plays and they got to come up smack people well, 319 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: and they've got to know where they're coming up too. 320 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: I mean, you can't have both of them running up 321 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: at once because they've got some people that can get 322 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: over the top of your head too. Coach Mac sort 323 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: of went Jim Wyatt on us there. He didn't just 324 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 1: give us one player. Let's see if Jim Watt goes 325 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: Coach Mack here, I'm like, say, Rashaun Evans, because and 326 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 1: coach kind of said that playing within the rules, Jim, 327 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: I like it. I mean, and and Rashaun Evans made 328 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: a couple of huge plays by the goal line that 329 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: goal line stand on Saturday night, and I think he's 330 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: going to be this team's leading tackler on Saturday night 331 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: and he's gonna tackle well, so I think I'm going 332 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: with Rashawn Evans. All right. Well that's a good answer. Okay, 333 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: So another topic towards football. The XFL is going to 334 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: have Dean Blandino as the person who does all of 335 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: their officiating. He's going to be in charge of the officiating. 336 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 1: Good hire, good Hire. They came out with their rules, 337 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: and some of them are are very different than the NFL. 338 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: Some of them make a lot of sense, some don't. 339 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: But I mean, these weren't designed by the Road Warriors 340 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 1: and the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Auston. These were 341 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: designed by actual football people, giving the XFL some credibility. 342 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: Dave McGinnis, what rule that was announced for the XFL 343 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: would you like to see the NFL adopt? Going further? 344 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: But you know, the rule I like is that the 345 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: three options on the extra point, and the three options 346 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: are well that you can either you either can take 347 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 1: it from the one yard line and get one point, 348 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: from the two yard line and get two points and 349 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: you can't kick any of these, or from the three 350 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: yard line and get three points. I liked Amy Wells. 351 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: What XFL rule did you like? We forced you to 352 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: study the XFL rule. That's okay, Well that was my 353 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: first one, so I'm going to go with And this 354 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: isn't really a rule, so now I'm cheating. But they're 355 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: bringing in an outside firm to provide some of the 356 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: camera angles and different things to help with the officiating, 357 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: and I think that is genius and I think that 358 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: the NFL should be doing that tomorrow. I think it's 359 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: a great idea. Jim why, I'm going to say the 360 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: twenty five second play clock, which is one of the rules, 361 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: and there's some quirking was there's a double pass in 362 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: there in addition to the end double pass if you 363 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: can throw two forward passes. If the pass is behind 364 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage so you don't have to throw 365 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: it backward to throw it forward. You can throw it 366 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: forward behind the line of scrimmage and then throw it. 367 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: But could lead to some lot of confusion there good, 368 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 1: but I'm going to twenty five second play clock speed 369 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: up the game. A lot of this was built around 370 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: faster game. I think it was a ten minute a 371 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: half time as opposed to a twelve minute half time 372 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: as well. But twenty five second play clock to speed 373 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: up play and uh to keep game. I think that 374 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: would keep games more interesting late instead of teams just 375 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: running out the clock. It was interesting to me two 376 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: things that really jumped out the continuous running clock in 377 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: outside of the final two minutes, they want to play 378 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: in two hours and forty minutes to two hours and 379 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: forty five minutes, whereas the NFL plays in roughly three 380 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: oh six right now, So that's interesting. The second one 381 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: was the one foot down for the receiver and the well, 382 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: here's the lot. Amy Wells given me that look that's 383 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: so grad I wish you could see that. I get 384 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: that look like twelve times a day from Amy Wells, 385 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,360 Speaker 1: so she can give you a disgusting She hides her 386 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: emotions so well. Inside If you ever want to make 387 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: a bunch of money, play poker with Amy Wells Pixar 388 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: movie Inside Out. I like the one foot though, from 389 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: the standpoint of what they say, is it would be 390 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 1: easier to aiate, it would make the game go faster. 391 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: And so initially I read it and I have the 392 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: Amy Wells reaction. I'm like, well, one, that's nah. Well, 393 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: but then you see the logic and you're like that 394 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: that's I thought their rule thing was well thought out. 395 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: I don't agree with everything, I don't love everything, but 396 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: where they're coming from it's not as much gimmicky as 397 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: it seems to be well reasoned, well thought out for 398 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: the purpose of playing a faster game. Well, they're trying 399 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: to speed the game up and that they don't want 400 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: me to tie. That's why they have the three options 401 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: on the extra point. And the other thing that I like, 402 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I know you said one, but I'll say too, 403 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 1: is that the extra official right? Right? And I think 404 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: that's coming in this league too, Amy Wells, I'd ask 405 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: you if you would pull a couple of OTP qes 406 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: since we're in bonus playoff time here? Would you mind asking? 407 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: Do you have a couple? Oh? Do I yes, I 408 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: have two questions from the ot people that I would 409 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: like to post you. How do you submit questions to 410 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: the OTP qus Titans Online Dot com slash OTPQ. It's 411 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: very you know, intuitive, all right, exactly what you would 412 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: think it would be, all right, So Jacob and Gilbert 413 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: Arizona would like to know, is it possible for Cameron 414 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 1: Wake or Malcolm Butler to come off of injured reserve 415 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: to make a run for the Super Bowl? And the 416 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: answer is a double no, and that includes anybody this 417 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: till now. Are Each team has an opportunity to recall 418 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 1: two players from injured reserve during the course of the season, 419 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: and the Titans called took Joshua Klew off of our season. 420 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: They put took Ryan suck Up off of our order 421 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: the season, and even though suck Up has gone back 422 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: on our you can't take anybody else off, So they're done. 423 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: So Malcolm Butler made the trip to New England that 424 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: raise even more questions about whether or not he potentially 425 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: could play at some point. But the answer is still no. 426 00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: All right, josh from Saint Louis, Missouri, Hey, team, Nashville 427 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: native and lifelong Titan fan here, so excited to have 428 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: beaten the Patriots. Now as we head to Baltimore, I 429 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: can't help but remember the two thousand and eight season, 430 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: The sixth seed Ravens came to LP Field to play 431 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: us as the number one seed knocked us out, leaving 432 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: a horrible taste in our mouth for our basically decade 433 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 1: long playoff drought. Tough Josh. While none of this that 434 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: team is still here. Can the painful memory of the 435 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 1: fan base translate as some sort of a revenge game 436 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: for the city of Nashville. Does that permeate into the 437 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 1: locker room? I think that's far fetched to think that 438 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: guys that didn't play in that game could have emotions. 439 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: I mean, the fan base definitely feels it. And I've 440 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: talked to Chris Johnson who's in Foxborough about that, and 441 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: he says, you know, they're you know, we owe the 442 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: Patriots because he remembered the fifty nine and nothing game 443 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: in the snow. He said, we owed the Patriots, and 444 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: now we owe the Ravens for doing that to us. 445 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: And now the roles reverse the Patriots, the Ravens of 446 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: the number one seed Titans have a chance to go 447 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: in there and spoil their season. But uh, you know, 448 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 1: the I mean, the fan base has worked up over him. 449 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: I've already got an emails and see the stuff on 450 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: on social media. They have very bad memories of this 451 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: h series, but don't I don't think this year's Titans 452 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: can benefit from any emotion from those days. I can 453 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: feel the fan base though, because I was on that 454 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 1: coaching staff and Mike Keith was here, and that, to me, 455 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: that was a super Bowl ring for this franchise because 456 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 1: we were the best team in the league and we 457 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: lose that game thirteen to ten with three turnovers in 458 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: the red zone. And I know why c J two 459 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: k's bad because they twisted his hell at the bottom 460 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: of the pile, gave my high ankle sprain when they 461 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 1: had no answer for CJ two kneel. I feel the 462 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: fan base right there, because I've still got a pain 463 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: in my heart for that one. That was a super 464 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 1: Bowl ring. There is such a thing as football karma too. 465 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: It doesn't exist that The only question as does it 466 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: exist this weekend? I hope. So. I think CJ was 467 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: eleven for seventy eight at that point and uh and 468 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: was running well and he and it's exactly he said. 469 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: He said, yes, I might twisted my ankle under the ball, Jim. 470 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: They couldn't stop him. They twisted right there on the 471 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: on the on the left sideline. I can still see it. 472 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: I mean he is at the bottom of the part. 473 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: They couldn't stop him because because ray Lewis as great 474 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 1: as ray Lewis was, ray Lewis wasn't as fast as 475 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: c J. Two K and Mike Himerdinger was wearing them 476 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: out on the edges and CJ was getting the edge 477 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: every time. Don't get me started talking about it again, 478 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: I'll start crying. It's amazing how similar that game and 479 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: the two thousand game were two seven seven at halftime, 480 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: missed opportunities, fumbles. I mean that it was when we 481 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: walked outside at halftime in two thousand and eight, people 482 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 1: were scared because it was it was the same game. 483 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 1: It was the same game as the two thousand game. 484 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: And I mean it was like you were, oh, gosh, 485 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: what a horrible memory, you know, and sorry, guys, yeah, 486 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: thanks for bringing us down. Well it wasn't me, it 487 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: was Josh from Saint Lewis. No, it's leg though, it 488 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: is legit. I mean, I know how it feels for 489 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: for the fan base. That's what I say. This would 490 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 1: be a much bigger, not much bigger. This would be 491 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: a bigger win than last weekend from the standpoint of 492 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: Titans fans, because of the Ravens history with the organization 493 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 1: and because it would get the Titans to the AFC 494 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: Championship game for the first time in seventeen years. That's 495 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: the reason it's been and ultimately that's what it's all 496 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: about us, is that you know, you take one every win, 497 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: you take one more step to the championship, which is 498 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: why the win over New England is significant and it's 499 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: it gives you credibility and all of this. But it 500 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: was a wildcard round and nobody's looking for a bowl 501 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: trophy except the Super Bowl trophy, right, you know you're 502 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 1: you're not looking to Oh we advanced to the divisional round. 503 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 1: I mean, that's great and it's an accomplishment and you 504 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: don't want to take anything away from it, but you 505 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: want to win three more games. Yep, there's more to do. 506 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: And that's that's why, Mike, what you say, that's why 507 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: I really like the tone of the timber of this 508 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: football team, because they won a big game. They were 509 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: excited about it, but they were moving pretty quick towards 510 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: the next one. Absolutely absolute and Baltimore is really good. Well, 511 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: they're the best team in the league right now, record wise, 512 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: and I mean, just look at what they've done. I mean, 513 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna play good teams in the tournament and we're 514 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: in the tournament. Time for What's Brewing?

I'll tell you what 522 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: that last conversation led me ride into my What's brewing, 523 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: and that is I think the Ravens. The biggest rival 524 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: this team has ever had, even though we've played in 525 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: the same division, was the Colts and the Texans and 526 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: UH and the Jaguars, and have had some big games 527 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: against the Steelers. And I look back at the you know, 528 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: the all time series results, you can find so many 529 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: of these games that bring back memories to him and 530 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: the Ravens, the first team that ever beat the Titans 531 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: and uh in what was LP field, Yes, they came 532 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 1: to field goal at the end, came in here and 533 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: uh and one the best Titans team I think that 534 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: uh ever played Nashville was the two thousand team that 535 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: lost to the Ravens and then they going to win 536 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in Tampa beat the Giants that year. 537 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: So uh that game. There was the two by four 538 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: game win two and two thousand and one when uh 539 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: week three, Yeah, and and Jeff Fisher gave a pregame 540 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: talk to the Titans about hitting them with the two 541 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: by four and that somehow got and I think you 542 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: mentioned it to South Palantonio, who turned around a mission 543 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: to Billick to Billick, turned around missions to the team 544 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: and then that was their emotion for that game. So 545 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,479 Speaker 1: mentioned it to the whole world that there was a 546 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: goal line play at the end of a Monday night 547 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: game when Yeah, when Steve McNair has scored on a sneak, 548 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: but they ruled the tight the Ravens had jumped off side, 549 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: they ran to play again. Didn't get it. Uh, there 550 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: was a playoff game that ended in positive fashion when 551 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: Gary Anderson hit the field goal to win it. There 552 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: and uh, and that that created a playoff game AFC 553 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: Championship game. Is that that's the year The team went 554 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: to England next week for the minus five degree game. 555 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: The um the story of that playoff game was Jamal 556 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: Lewis had rushed for over two thousand yards only fourteen 557 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: carries for thirty five yards in that game. Great job 558 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: by Jim Schwartz. Great job Steve McNair, Derek Mason, Samari 559 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: Role coming back here to play against the Titans after 560 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: they had parted ways from this team the playoff game 561 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight that we just mentioned. It's 562 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: amazing that these teams have not played a lot recently, 563 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: but all these games have meant something and come back, 564 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: uh you know, to the memory pretty quickly. Which makes 565 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: me think this is the best rival this team's ever had. 566 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: And we've only been there one time in fourteen years 567 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: or something. Last time we went in twenty fourteen, lost 568 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: twenty one to seven in a game that was tied 569 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: seven all at half time. We've beaten him up there, 570 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: We beat we beat him up there when I was 571 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: coaching two thousand and eight. Yeah, when when Ray Lewis 572 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: got faked out on the Kerry Collins pump fake to 573 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: Algie Crumpler. Remember that? So do I remember it? Not 574 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: like you do, but do I remember it? I mean, 575 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: I'm serious. That was a that was a huge it 576 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: was fun. That's a big wins. I always got got 577 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: this team to ten and oh that's the ten and 578 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: didn't get him to ten and oh I think it 579 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: was week three or four, if I'm not mistaken, it 580 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: was early. That was a big win. It was a 581 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: big win. It was a big win. I like the 582 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: mic remembers like people in the exact details. Mac just 583 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: remembers like ambiguous XS and o's moving or that's that's well, 584 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: that's from our world. Yeah, exactly, that's why he's my Keith. Well, 585 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: that's why coach Mac. That's right, Amy. Well, what's brewing 586 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: with you? Well, Mike, this is actually kind of about 587 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: you because as we record this right now, it is 588 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: January eighth, twenty twenty, which means it has been twenty 589 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: years since the Music City Miracle, and I'm wondering if 590 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: you're exhausted, because this is the day that everyone wants 591 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: to talk to Mike Keith about the call that changed 592 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: broadcasting and the play that changed the Tennessee Titans. No, 593 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm not exhausted, You're not. I could talk about it 594 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: all day, any day, with anybody anywhere. Now. Would I 595 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: rather talk about the Titans winning a Super Bowl? Would 596 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: I rather talk about the Titans beating Baltimore this weekend? Yes? 597 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: I I would rather be talking about that. I'm I'm 598 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: more of a future aim than a past aim in 599 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: terms of in terms of how I look at things. 600 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: But there will never be a day that I will 601 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: ever be not interested in talking about the Music City 602 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: miracle because I feel so lucky to have been there. 603 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: There was an iconic call, well thank you. The guy 604 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: who made and an iconic call was Pat Ryan. And 605 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: that's the part of because Pat Ryan says the famous line, 606 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: the line that gets most repeated to me, he's got something. 607 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: And people will come up to me, they'll go, he's 608 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: got something. I'm like, no, that's the other guy. That 609 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: wasn't me, But thank you, But Pat saw it. You 610 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: and Pat are very similar. Coach Pat saw it. The 611 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: minute Kevin caught the ball on the lateral, he said 612 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,719 Speaker 1: he's got something. In real time, he said, he's got something. 613 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: That's the most amazing thing that you guys can see 614 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: the field like you do, because all I see is 615 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: the ball. I don't know. I mean, I never I 616 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: sounded shocked at the end of that play because I'm shocked, 617 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: but Pat saw it and took it all the way forward. 618 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: But no, I mean, I'll talk about it as much 619 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: as anybody wants to talk about it at any time, 620 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: any place. And I've I've talked about it in Europe 621 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: to people. I've talked about it in every state I've 622 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: ever visited. I mean, people say I remember where I was, 623 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: and I'm so thankful for that. Well, thanks, but I'm 624 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: thankful I was there. And so I'll never act like, oh, no, 625 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, you get some people won't sing their hits 626 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: anymore because they're tired of If that's all I got, 627 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: I'll take it. How many times they ask you beyond 628 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: in Buffalo? Not a lot, not a lot. I've told 629 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: the story before too, so that's so good this and 630 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: this is a true story. So at where we lived before, 631 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: in Franklin, our first house when we moved to Franklin, 632 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: the people who moved in to us next door were 633 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: really nice people, really nice people still there. Love them. 634 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: Get a Christmas card from them. They're from Buffalo, They're 635 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: massive Bills fans. They were fantastic to my children, they're 636 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: great to my wife. They're just sort of okay to me. 637 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,319 Speaker 1: That's solid though. Yes, I've been called the voice of 638 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:14,879 Speaker 1: Satan in Buffalo and I resent that and you love 639 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,959 Speaker 1: it and you love it, but no, I'm not asked 640 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: to do a lot of shows. It is very cool though, 641 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: I mean, even just this morning, especially with it being 642 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,760 Speaker 1: twenty years and the Titans are in the playoffs now, 643 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: everything about it makes it feel so cool and such 644 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 1: a proud moment like that I wasn't a part of. 645 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: But to be a part of this organization now and 646 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: to have that history makes me very proud. It was 647 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: a prouder moment for Nashville because it was the moment 648 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: that Nashville really became a big league franchise when you 649 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: won that playoff game over the Buffalo Bills, who'd been 650 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: to the super Bowl four times, and you do it 651 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,760 Speaker 1: in that way, I mean, it's so legitimized, the team's 652 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: move and everything going on. I think it's another of 653 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 1: the steps that Nashville took on the way to the 654 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: Nashville that we know today. So I think it was. 655 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: I think it was bigger than sports in that way, 656 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 1: and that's something that if you're from here, it makes 657 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: you feel really good. Yeah, I agree, I mean, I 658 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: think that's I mean, the fan base was already energized 659 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: with that season after a couple of years playing in 660 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,879 Speaker 1: Memphis and then playing at Vanderbilt, and then this team 661 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: was really embraced and that kind of putch over the 662 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: hump and obviously started that run to the super Bowl 663 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: that led people to Indian Rows and then to Jacksonville 664 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: and then end up in Atlanta, and that's where kind 665 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: of where it started. And it's like we talked about 666 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: too with the fan base after the Patriots game. The 667 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: best part of this to me is seeing our fans 668 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: get to have fun with everybody, seeing our fans get 669 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 1: to see their team on Sports Center on social media. Yes, 670 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 1: they've poked fun at the Patriots. They've had enough fun 671 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: poked at them that it's nice that they're getting to 672 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: give it back and that their team is in the 673 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: spotlight that moment. The Music City miracle brought them there 674 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: for the first time. They really got to experience what 675 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,280 Speaker 1: it was like to be the fan base everybody's looking 676 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 1: at for at least a moment. They're getting to feel 677 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 1: that right now after beating the Patriots, and they deserve 678 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 1: it because we've, you know, let's face it, we spent 679 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 1: some downtime, way too much downtime, and our fans hung 680 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: in there. And to see them getting to give the 681 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,399 Speaker 1: business back to some people, good for them. Yep, Well 682 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: it's all deserved. Great point, coach Mac. What's brewing with you? 683 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: The playoffs are continuing this week. There are two Hall 684 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 1: of Fame quarterbacks out of the playoffs, Drew Brees, Tom Brady. 685 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 1: They're out, they're not. And the two top rushing teams 686 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: in the National Football League still playing. Wow, just think 687 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: about it, of all the gizmo and all the rule 688 00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 1: changes and all this, and throw the ball all in 689 00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 1: the air and throw it around. Of this, two hall 690 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: of fame quarterbacks out, two top rushing teams still playing 691 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,280 Speaker 1: and playing each other. Don't you think that's the beauty 692 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 1: of football? From one hundred years of the NFL, one 693 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,840 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years of the game overall college football 694 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: came into being in eighteen sixty nine. The game is 695 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,959 Speaker 1: ever changing some years, it's all the passing teams. Some years, 696 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,399 Speaker 1: it's all the running teams some years. Some years it's 697 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 1: a combination of all of the above. Since nineteen ninety, 698 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: at least four new teams have made the playoffs every year. 699 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: Last year, seven new teams made the playoffs, five this year. 700 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: The game never stays the same, no, and that's that's 701 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 1: and that is the beauty of it. It never it 702 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: never stays the same, but it does stay the same 703 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: because still it's a physical game, and when it comes 704 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: down to it in the playoffs, you've got to be 705 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: able to impose your will physically on your opponent. You 706 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 1: have to be able to do that, and you have 707 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: to be able to play defense. That's great, all right, 708 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: So what's brewing for me? How fast is Lamar Jackson? 709 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: Pretty fast? All right? So I went through and I'm like, 710 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's really fast? How fast is he? Joke? Well, 711 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 1: that was a joke at one ten the seventies and eighty? 712 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: How fast? Yeah? The truth is I had forgotten that 713 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson refused to run the forty at the NFL 714 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,919 Speaker 1: Combine because there were teams that reportedly wanted to work 715 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 1: him out as a wide receiver. So he refused to 716 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: show them by running the forty. He did not run 717 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,839 Speaker 1: a forty at Louisville's pro day either. I forgot about, 718 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:48,439 Speaker 1: so I kept digging. He actually ran a forty when 719 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 1: Bobby Petrino was the coach there in the spring of 720 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. Bobby Petrino came out and said that he 721 00:38:55,719 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 1: ran four three four. No way, Yes, that's a tenth 722 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: of a second slower than Chris Johnson. And he's a 723 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: giant human. No, no, he's not. He's six. He's six 724 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: two two ten to fifteen. That's pretty big for you 725 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,439 Speaker 1: think he's bigger than that. No, no, why he's he's 726 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 1: he's lean, he's gumby. He could be a wide receiver. 727 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: The same way there were people who believe when he 728 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: was coming out of Ulie, there were people who believed 729 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:31,719 Speaker 1: the majority of colleges believed Derrick Henry was an outside linebacker, right, 730 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,399 Speaker 1: and I think he would be a great one. But 731 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: this kid runs that fast. I knew he was fast, 732 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,359 Speaker 1: but it had not settled in my mind that he 733 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 1: was almost towards Michael Vick fast. And that reinforces what 734 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 1: coach McGinnis was saying earlier. In the show about responsibility 735 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: being lined upright. Why he's done so many things that 736 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 1: he has done running. I thought he was like Marcus Mariota, 737 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: who was a four or five two. That's fast, four 738 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,239 Speaker 1: three four, that's a whole different way, that's a whole 739 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 1: different level. Yeah. And even if that was handheld and 740 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,839 Speaker 1: Bobby was a little bit off still anywhere, you're all 741 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: you gotta do is watch him play right, because he's 742 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 1: never caught. The issue with him running the option is this, 743 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 1: you can be right and still be wrong, still be wrong. Yeah, 744 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 1: and that's the trouble. And we saw this in the 745 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,320 Speaker 1: seventies in the eighties when the option was really popular. 746 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: If a quarterback's really good, it's impossible to defend well. 747 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,359 Speaker 1: And the other thing we don't get too deep into 748 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 1: ball here, but the thing that that they've brought it 749 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 1: to another level is see, you used to you used 750 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: to just when you were in the option. I mean 751 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 1: when I was coaching in the in the Southwest Conference 752 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 1: and coaching in the Big Eight, when everybody was running 753 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 1: the wishbone, everybody was just reading the end man on 754 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Well, these guys have gotten so 755 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 1: innovative now they're starting to read the four technique, they 756 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 1: start to read the three technique, they'll leave them unblocked. 757 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 1: They'll start to read the second man off the ball. 758 00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,520 Speaker 1: I mean they've taken it to another level as far 759 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,439 Speaker 1: as to the man and they're reading and the man 760 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,399 Speaker 1: they're reading that makes a difference as to who they're 761 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 1: making the pitch off of or who they're making the 762 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 1: give off of. This is this is something you're gonna have. 763 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 1: This is gonna take work to stop it, and work 764 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: it shall be.
