1 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: This is the OTP presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. 2 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: Let the experts at Farm Bureau Health Plans coach you 3 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: through it. When you need great healthcare coverage at a 4 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: price you can afford. They've been protecting Tennessee and since 5 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: nineteen forty seven with Amy Wells. I'm Mike Keith. It 6 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: is Thursday, January the twentieth. The Titans have completed their 7 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 1: quote unquote practice week. They have a walk through tomorrow. 8 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: Injury report has just come out. Only guy on it 9 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 1: who is questionable as Tierre Tart, Mike Vrabel declares nobody out. 10 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: The Titans do not make Derrick Henry active today, Mike Vrabel, 11 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: intimating that that decision, that transaction, whatever you want to 12 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: call it, would come tomorrow. Derrick Henry practiced again today. Yep, 13 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: he practiced again today, So another good sign. We've seen 14 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: him participate in practice all week, which is great in 15 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: terms of what that couldn't mean for his recovery, his return, 16 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: all of that. But we're not going to know for 17 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: sure until tomorrow. And we say it this way just 18 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: because of the protocol with the technicalities involved in it, 19 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: the Titans have to take him off the injury list 20 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: and they have to put him back on the active roster. 21 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: They do have a space right now with Greg Mabin 22 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: going on the reserve COVID nineteen list. The Titans are 23 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: at fifty two, so they do not have to cut 24 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: somebody to make Derrick Henry part of the roster by 25 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 1: three o'clock Central tomorrow. They don't have to do it 26 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: tomorrow because the twenty one day window goes into next week, 27 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: but they would have to do it tomorrow if they 28 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: want him to play Saturday at three thirty against the 29 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. Right, He's got to be on the team 30 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: to play against the Bengals, which makes sense, Which makes sense, 31 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: and again trending in that direction, feeling like that that's 32 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: the way it's moving. But until it's official, Yes, it's 33 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: not official, right, So that is the update from here. 34 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: Kind of a quiet day on a very cold and 35 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: cloudy day in Nashville, probably a lot like what Saturday 36 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: afternoon is going to be like at Nissan Stadium. Yes, 37 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: the sideline reporter in me is not super excited. I 38 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: think it's going to be a very cold afternoon evening, 39 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: but no precipitation expected as of right now. Same with winds. 40 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: They're not supposed to be anything extremely impactful like they 41 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: are right now, like they are right now. Yeah, So 42 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: less wind, more just cold. So bundle up if you're 43 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: coming to the game, and consider yourself lucky that you're 44 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: not one of the guys that has to kick one 45 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: of those very cold footballs. Absolutely. Yeah, all right, So 46 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: today's edition of the OTP as we had asked otpques 47 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: your questions for us that you submitted at Tennessee Titans 48 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: dot com slash ot p Q, and if your question 49 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: is selected, you will receive a Finish the del T 50 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: shirt from our friends at Farm Bureau Health Plans.

They are awesome. They are 55 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: long sleeve, which is even better. Mine has already been 56 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: taken from me. Yeah, by member of my family. I 57 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 1: had one. I was excited. Oh is this for me? Sure? Yeah? 58 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: This was for you. No. You just say no. You 59 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: say no. If you're married guy, yeah, you say oh yeah, 60 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: I brought this home for you. This is why you 61 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: marry someone who cannot steal your clothes. Well that's fair. 62 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: There you go that strategy, Mike Key. All right, Amy, Wells, 63 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: you have selected the questions. Let's roll. I have and 64 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,839 Speaker 1: if you hear your question asked here on the OT, 65 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: watch your email. And if you submitted a fake email 66 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, you're not going to get a shirt. 67 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: So the joke's on you. All right, let's roll. This 68 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: is Keith from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He says, as we anticipate 69 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry's royal return, I think that's clever. Do we 70 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: expect that he will carry most of the load in 71 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: the run game. I've been impressed with what the Titans 72 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: have done with Foreman and Hilliard during his absence. How 73 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: do you expect the Titans to incorporate the three of 74 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: them into the offense moving forward? I think all three 75 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: will be used. I think you'll see everybody be included 76 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: in the strategy in the overall package. How the carries 77 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: get divided up, I think is determined by how the 78 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: game flows and Derek getting into a flow again with 79 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: the caveat he is activated, assuming he is activated. I 80 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: think you have to get a feel. I don't think 81 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: the health thing is going to be a big issue. 82 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: I don't think the foot thing is going to be 83 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: a big issue. I don't think the contact thing is 84 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: going to be a big issue. But there's a feel 85 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: to it. We saw Foreman and Hilliard needs some time 86 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: to get that right. That took them a while before 87 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: they sort of got in that rhythm. Henry's kind of 88 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 1: got to get back into that rhythm. How quickly he does, 89 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: I think determines how much of the load he carries 90 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: and how does the game unfold. But I think the 91 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: answer that I can give right now is I think 92 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: all three will play justin from Moose Up, Connecticut. Moose Up. 93 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: Perhaps haven't been there. Yeah, I don't know, but it 94 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: sounds like it's lovely long sleeve T shirt from Farm 95 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: Bureau health Player. He sure he probably needs it in Connecticut. Yeah, 96 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: it's probably chilly there. A lot of people are saying 97 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: the Titans Run game has kept rolling without Derek Henry, 98 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: and from a yards per game perspective, they seem to 99 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: be right. Do you think that this is due to 100 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: lighter boxes with the crew of fill in backs more 101 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: or less do you expect Derek hen returning will mean 102 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: more stacked boxes and more room for receivers to operate. 103 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: Dave McGinnis says, we have not really seen less stacked boxes. 104 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: He says that overall, in terms of what his film 105 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: study has shown, we've continued to see much the same thing. Now, 106 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: is it seventy percent instead of eighty percent? I don't know, 107 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: but he feels like that that's been part of it. 108 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, I think he's going to attract 109 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: that sort of attention, but it doesn't feel like based 110 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: on what coach Mack has studied and seen that it's 111 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: going to be tremendously different. I'm gonna give you one 112 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: more question about the run game and then we're going 113 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: to move on because there are lots of other questions. Well. 114 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: Good Neil from Huntsville, Alabama says the Titans run a 115 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: lot of heavy personnel and have used it to overpower 116 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: opponents all year, even though they've had so much turnover 117 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: due to injuries. Now that they have an almost fully 118 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: healthy team due to the extra rest, how will this 119 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: benefit the run game specific And then he also put 120 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: by the way, I'm an extra large which I appreciate. 121 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: He included his shirt sides that a way, Neil. I 122 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: think what you're gonna see is they're gonna run multiple 123 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: personnel packages to try to drive the Bengals crazy because 124 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: guess what they can because they've had to use all 125 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: of these different things. They figured out this works, they 126 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: figured out that doesn't work, and what they like. I 127 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: think you're gonna see three wides. I think you're gonna 128 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: see three tights. I think you're gonna see two backs. 129 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see I mean, I think you're 130 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: gonna see all sorts of things. Which is the most 131 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: exciting part of this is that the Titans have thrown 132 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: out of three tight ends. They've run out of three 133 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: tight ends, They've thrown out of three wides, They've run 134 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: out of three wides. You know, Todd Downing has a 135 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: lot of things open to him at this time. So yeah, 136 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: I think you'll continue to see the heavy personnel in 137 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: certain circumstances because the Titans have had some success with it. 138 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: This is from Ronda from Lehigh, Utah. Wow, I know, 139 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: she says, I love the podcast being in Utah. It's 140 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: great to get some Titans talk Utah chapter. There you go. 141 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: I've been a long time oiler and now Titans fan, 142 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of excitement about Derrick Henry coming back, 143 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: and it's huge news. But do you think that when 144 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: the Titans were missing AJ Brown that had a bigger 145 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: impact on the Titans offense. Won't say a bigger impact 146 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: because it's hard to overrate what Derrick Henry means, but 147 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: as big yeah, I do. I mean, the Titans are 148 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: eleven and two with AJ and they're one and three 149 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: without him. I think he makes a big difference because 150 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: he stretches the field. I think people are afraid of 151 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: him because he's six feet two hundred thirty pounds, and 152 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 1: if he catches any pass and gets his feet going, 153 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: he can take a ten yard catch and go seventy yards. 154 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: And I think he's the number one receiver. I think 155 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: he is a big time playmaker and so much like Derek, 156 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: I think he's a focal point. So sure, I mean, 157 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: I think the four games he's missed it has been huge. Well, 158 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: I say it's bigger than Derek. I won't. Some might, 159 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: but the Titans took a little time to figure out 160 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: the running back thing. It took them some time going 161 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: and finding another receiver like aj hard to do, very 162 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: hard to do. Speaking of receivers, this is from Jacob 163 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: on Twitter. Julio and Ryan Tannehill seem to be slightly 164 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: out of sync for parts of this year. What do 165 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: you expect to see from them in the postseason to 166 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: build off their momentum. I think what we saw in 167 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: the Houston game, I think they are getting on the 168 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: same page. I think they are getting comfortable. I think 169 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: back to tied downing the offensive coordinator. I think he's 170 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: figuring out the best way to use Julio. I think 171 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 1: Julio is more healthy and feels better about doing more things. 172 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that relationship is going to grow. 173 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 1: You know, we ask Julio that question, I said, how 174 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: close are you close? You heard it right here on 175 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: the OTP. So I think that has made a bit 176 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: of a difference, because you when you miss practice time 177 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: over a period of time, it tends to show up 178 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: in the games. Maybe not maybe not every once in 179 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: a while, but when you have you know, you miss 180 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: most of training camp and then you you know, you 181 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: come back and you have an injury that takes you 182 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: out for a while and then you're gone for a 183 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: while on injured reserve. I mean, it has to make 184 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: a difference when this is your first year with the team. 185 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: You know, It's funny because when AJ and Tannehill are together, 186 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 1: Remember they worked a lot in twenty nineteen before Tannehill 187 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: was the starter. Firkser worked a lot with Tannehill in 188 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen before he is the starting quarterback, and so 189 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: you could see them just sort of pick up. Well, 190 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: Julio has never had that with him, but hey, if 191 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: you're gonna get it, now's a great time, right. I 192 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: agree with that. TJ from Vicksburg, Mississippi. I've been there, 193 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: have you. That's where Malcolm Butler's from. Do you know 194 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: where the dairy queen is there? I do, of course, No, 195 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: I don't. He knows where the dairy queen is in 196 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: every city in America. Yes, all right? How much pressure 197 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: is on the Titans offense to start fast after they 198 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: struggled for the first quarter in several games this season? 199 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: Huge Titans have had seventeen points on seventeen first drives 200 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 1: this year. Not great, not great, not great, two touchdowns, 201 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: one field goal. They've had two turnovers. They've had as 202 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: many turnovers on first drives in ball games that they 203 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: have touchdowns, and I think a fast start anytime in 204 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs, that you can get the lead and put 205 00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: the pressure on the other team, it's a big d 206 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: I think it's a huge factor. You know, in the 207 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: Miami game, it was one of those things that the 208 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: third possession. The Titans improved field position both of their 209 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: first two after the punts, and then they only had 210 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: to go what forty five yards for the first touchdown. 211 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: So sometimes it's not necessarily the first possession, but I 212 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: think in the playoffs, the first possession is even more important. 213 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 1: The other thing too, about these guys they're playing. The 214 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: Bengals are great with possessions at the end of the half. 215 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: They're in the top five in the league in points 216 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 1: in possessions at the end of the first half and 217 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: number two in the league in points when they get 218 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: the ball to start the second half. So be good 219 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: to be ahead of the Cincinnati Bengals going into the 220 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: last two minutes of the first half, or if they 221 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: get the ball to start the second half, that's an 222 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: interesting start. Getting the lead in postseason, in any sport, 223 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: amy getting the lead is a big deal. Getting the 224 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: lead in the World Series is a big deal. Getting 225 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: the lead in the Stanley Cup Finals is a big deal. 226 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: It's just when you have an edge doesn't guarantee you 227 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: of anything, but it just changes your dynamic. And it's 228 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: like the team that gets the lead can relax a 229 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: little bit and then just play. The team that's behind 230 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 1: suddenly is under a little more pressure, and then if 231 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: it becomes fourteen to nothing, then there's a lot of pressure. 232 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: Well then that leads me into this question. This is 233 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: from Len in Smithville, Tennessee. I've been to Smithville. Of course, 234 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: you have what will be the biggest difference in this 235 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: ball game, outside of the turnovers, touchdowns in the red zone. 236 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: I think that's what it comes down to, is when 237 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: you get a chance to score, you've got to put 238 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: it in the end zone and listen. I think the 239 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: Bengals are probably going to move the ball. They move 240 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: the ball on everybody. The thing for the Titans is 241 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: can you get him off the field one third down? 242 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: But can you make them kick field goals? And I 243 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: think that's what it's going to come down to, is 244 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: red zone, because like I said, when you're playing Joe 245 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: Burrow with all of these weapons and with Mixing as 246 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: the running back. I mean, be great if you could 247 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: hold him to three points, but you're probably not going to. 248 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: The key is if they get in your red zone 249 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: five times like they did last year, you can't let 250 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: them score four touchdowns. Ye. I mean, you just cannot 251 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: let that happen. And that to me is the big thing. 252 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: And then on the flip side, if you're the Titans, 253 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: you gotta put it in the end zone. Well, that 254 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: leads me to my next question here talking about all 255 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: of the weapons that the Bengals have on offense. This 256 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: is from Drew in Nashville, Tennessee. With Christian Fulton's familiarity 257 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: with Jamar Chase, do you think we'll see him follow 258 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: Chase all game? I think this is Christian Fulton's chance 259 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: to make a name for himself on a national stage. 260 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: That's not generally what the Titans do. They don't generally 261 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: pardon the pun Chase like that. Yeah, that's not been 262 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: their modus operandi. Maybe that's what they go with in 263 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: this situation, but they you know, the only matchups that 264 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: I've seen that they've done that way is when they've 265 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: brought Dane crookshankin to go at a tight end, but 266 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: that you know, in this defense, that has not been 267 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: the way the Titans have gone. So I don't think so, 268 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: you know, that's just me. I could be wrong. Charlie 269 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: from Wichita, Kansas says, we all know about that scary 270 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: passing attack from Cincinnati. I'm curious about their offensive line 271 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: and how they match up against our defensive line. Could 272 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: be a big advantage for the Titans. The Titans defensive 273 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: line matches up well with a lot of the remaining 274 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: offensive lines in the playoffs. This one has lost some 275 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: parts and has had some guys dinged up at times, 276 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: and has had some turnover and has allowed over fifty 277 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: sacks this year, So I mean it could be advantageous. Now. 278 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: Last year November first, twenty twenty, they started four backups 279 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: and the Titans didn't sack did not sack Joe Burrow 280 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: one time. So a lot of times that on paper 281 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: stuff is worth the paper it's written on. Sawyer in Waynesboro, Tennessee. 282 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: Who is your Titans MVP? Sawyers is Denico Autry due 283 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: to his presence helping create a much more effective pass 284 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: rutch and which has bettered the defense overall, that's Sawyer's choice. 285 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: Who is yours? I'm not gonna say, because that gets 286 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: me in trouble bad. I will say I think Sawyer's 287 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: choice is excellent. Denico Autry was a great free agent signing. 288 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: He is a Swiss Army knife in terms of what 289 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: he does up front, play any position, plays outside linebacker. 290 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: Love him, Love the way he plays the game. Could 291 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: I say he's the MVP over Big Jeff No. Could 292 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: I say he's the MVP over Harold Landry No? Could 293 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: I say he's the MVP over Kevin Bayer No? Could 294 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: I say he's the MVP over you know, put in 295 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,959 Speaker 1: another name. I don't think you can do that. I 296 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: can't do that because those guys will come find me. 297 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: That's true, and they're really big. Yeah. But I love 298 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: his choice in terms of Denico Autry because I think 299 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: it's a very inspired choice and I'm so glad he's 300 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: on our football team. James from Fort Worth, Texas asks, 301 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: with the Titans getting a bye week for the first 302 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: time since two thousand and eight, how do you think 303 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: the players will play after the extra time off. Sometimes 304 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: there have been teams in the past who have come 305 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: out flat, right, But I don't think Mike Vrabel will 306 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: allow that. Mike Vrabel teams are eight no after extra rest, 307 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: after a buy or a mini buy, or what if 308 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: they're eight no. So I don't think that'll have any 309 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: factor in it in terms of what they have. I 310 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: think it help hopes this team because of how dinged 311 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: up they've been. And I was looking at, you know, 312 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: some of the ages, and we're talking about Deniko Autry. 313 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 1: He's almost thirty two, Taylor once thirty, Roger Staffel's almost 314 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 1: thirty four, Julio jones is almost thirty three, Ryan Tannehill's 315 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: thirty three. The Titans have several key players who are 316 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: over thirty years old. Jack Rabbit Jenkins is thirty three. 317 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: You know, you kind of go on and on that way, 318 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: and so I think it's more advantageous for the older 319 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: players who are so key to have the rest and 320 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry to have one more week to get ready 321 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: than it is to be worried about being flat or 322 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: you know, anything like that. I don't worry about that. 323 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: If the Titans don't win this ball game, it won't 324 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: be because they were flat. Corey from the Twitter Machine says, 325 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: how does this Titans team compared to the other Titans 326 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: number one seeds in two thousand and one and two 327 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 1: thousand and eight. Totally different, totally different team. Two thousand 328 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: team was primarily a defensive team offense. I mean, if 329 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: they got to fourteen points, they felt great about things 330 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: because their defense could shut them down. The two thousand 331 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: and eight team was a ball club that started ten 332 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: and ozero and was just this red hot machine. And 333 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: then they finished up three and three, and we kind 334 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: of felt pretty good about them going into the playoffs. 335 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: But there was a little apprehension because they shut it 336 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: down for the Indianapolis game and lost badly, and then 337 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: they had a week off and then they got ready 338 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 1: to play Baltimore, and Baltimore was always scary, and it 339 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: was a totally different field. This club's had to work 340 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: hard for everything it's had. There's never been anything easy. 341 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: Nobody has ever thought they were the obvious number one. 342 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, ESPN this week says, you 343 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: know that they're the most unimpressive number one seed since 344 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty three or something like that, You know, which 345 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 1: is I think that's where I read that, But totally 346 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: different this ball club. On paper, this ball club does 347 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: not look like a number one seed because this ball 348 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: club has very rarely had all of its pieces together 349 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: for any stretch of time, Which is why I think 350 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: the numbers about this team are so misleading. You know, 351 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: if you just take the overall season numbers, you don't 352 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 1: see a number one seed. I get that, you know, 353 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: I totally understand that. But when you have had the 354 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: group together and when you see things sort of like 355 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: the defense is so much better right now than it 356 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: was at the start of the year. We kind of 357 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: knew that would happen. We kind of knew it would 358 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: take some time. Didn't think we'd end up with Zach 359 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: Cunningham here as part of it, which was a good surprise. 360 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: And then offensively, you expect to have the four horsemen 361 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: together the whole year. They played eleven percent of the 362 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: snaps together, and yet this team still averaged twenty five 363 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: points a game, not thirty five like you hope they might, 364 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 1: but twenty five. So there are a lot of other 365 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: teams that on paper look better. I would say this 366 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: team's resolve to win twelve and with the different things 367 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: that they've been forced to develop, is what makes them 368 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 1: more dangerous. But I get it. That leads to a question, 369 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: though I keep leading jobs, you're doing a really good job. 370 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: You're making my job very easy. Jerry from O'Fallon, Missouri, 371 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: whoa I know is that outside St. Louis? It sure 372 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: is outside of Saint Louis. If you are driving from here, 373 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: you drive through O'Fallon to get to Columbia, Missouri, and 374 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: that's where the good stuff really happens. Jerry says, Saturday 375 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: cannot come quick enough. Do you think the national media 376 00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: will ever respect any Titans team to win the Super Bowl? 377 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 1: You think so? You think that's what it takes for 378 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: this Titan Because let's throw it out there. You win 379 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: this week, you're gonna play Buffalo or Kansas City, and 380 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: the storyline's going to be Buffalo or Kansas City because 381 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: there's some people saying that the actual AFC Championship game 382 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 1: is being played this week in Kansas City. That's a narrative. Okay, Fine, 383 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: So if you were to win the AFC Championship, you're 384 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: gonna go into the Super Bowl and you're gonna be 385 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: playing let's say Tampa Bay or Green Bay. Well, you've 386 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: got Aaron Rodgers who's dating the actress and he didn't 387 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: get vaccinated, and he didn't tell the truth about it, 388 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: and he's a big deal and he was gonna leave 389 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: and all this. So it's gonna be the whole Green 390 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: Bay story. If it's Tampa, it's the whole Tom Brady 391 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: trying to do it again story. Right. If it's the 392 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams, then it's the Los Angeles Rams playing 393 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: in their home stadium. Yeah, and ob j and Von 394 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: Miller and all of these things that happened. So the Titans, 395 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: if you look at stories, the Titans are never going 396 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,719 Speaker 1: to be the big story until they win it interesting, 397 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 1: and I mean, you're one, right. All of these other 398 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: teams have their these big, obvious, nationally known stories. Well, 399 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 1: the national people can't know all of the ins and 400 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: outs because they're covering thirty two teams, right, And that's 401 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: the part of it that I don't ever get so 402 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: offended as some people do now when you just hear 403 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 1: obvious ignorance at times about the team because somebody hasn't 404 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: done their homework. That's one thing, But most people don't 405 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,959 Speaker 1: who on a national level, they don't know what all's 406 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: happened with the Tennessee Titans this year and why Ryan 407 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: Tannehill's throwing twenty one touchdowns and fourteen interceptions and they 408 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: can't know that. The stories they're gonna know are the 409 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: ones that are much more surface until the Titans are 410 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: there at the end. So I think that's respect wise, 411 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: that's when it would come. But again, I don't get all. 412 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 1: I understand why Titans fans get all bent out of 413 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 1: shape about that, but I just don't. Yeah, you're very 414 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: zen man. No, it's just I mean, I've covered stuff, 415 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 1: and I know a bunch of the national men and women, 416 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: and they're good. They're good at what they do. And 417 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: I'll have conversations with him at different times. Our friend 418 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: Charles Davis always does a fabulous job on CBS when 419 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: he covers the Titans because he does our preseason games 420 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: and he spends time here and we talk to him 421 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: on the phone, and you know, he knows a lot 422 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 1: about what's going on with us. Jim Nance will know 423 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: a lot if we get in the AFC Championship game. 424 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: He'll know a lot of what makes us tick. Most 425 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: of the national people don't have the ability to know 426 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: what makes us tick. Yeah, that's good point. That's fine. Yeah, 427 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: that's okay. And I mean they know Derrick Henry, Yeah, 428 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: you know, and so there's an assumption to a certain extent, Well, 429 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry's back, so they're fine. It's like, well, you know, 430 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: that's not necessarily true either. I mean, it's good, but 431 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: it's too easy. I'm happy to be the worst number 432 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: one seed ever. Listen, I would love to be the 433 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: worst super Bowl winner ever, which would absolutely not be true, 434 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: but that would be if that's the perception. You still 435 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: get to lift a trophy and you get a ring. Yeah, 436 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: so who cares. It's like being the poorest billionaire. I'll 437 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: do that. Pick me the most handsome man and an 438 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 1: ugly man contest. Yeah, sure, that's fine, all right, Moving 439 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: right along. Justin from Morgantown, West Virginia. This may be 440 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: an outfield question, but I think it's fun. Jim Wyatt's 441 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: Britches report is one of the most anticipated tweets every week, 442 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: which is true. I'm curious as to which uniform combination 443 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: is your favorite. I love a good outfit question right 444 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: now because of something Jim told me. It's all navy, 445 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: which is what the Titans are wearing. On Saturday four 446 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 1: and oh, all Navy in twenty twenty one. All Navy's 447 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: my actual favorite one. It's my favorite now four and 448 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: oh golly, it's always been my favorite. I think it 449 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: looks so sharp and intimidating. The Bengals I think are 450 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: wearing all white. I don't love all white on anybody, 451 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: any team. And the Titans have really nice white. Titans 452 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,959 Speaker 1: are good. I mean, they look clean, but they're not 453 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: flattering on the big dudes. No, not great. But the 454 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: talk about again, I'm talking about uniforms, you're talking about outfits. 455 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Hey, I gotta read something here. Okay, 456 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: go ahead. Hey, hey, Titan super fans. I like the 457 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 1: way this opens.

Andy from Lenore City, Tennessee. 466 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: I need to preface this because I know you don't 467 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 1: want to let your mind go there. But just for 468 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: a second, let your mind go there. How satisfying would 469 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 1: it be to avenge our Super Bowl loss to the 470 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: Rams and beat them in their own stadium to win 471 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl this year. I'm not going to answer 472 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: that question over superstition, but I will say this, it 473 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 1: was very satisfying to beat them on November seventh in 474 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: their own stadium this year. It feel good, It felt 475 00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:01,199 Speaker 1: it felt phenomenally good to do that. So Andy, let 476 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: your mind wander to that based on that comment. But 477 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,719 Speaker 1: I'm a superstitious guy, so I'm not gonna dive into that. 478 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 1: Just take from what I said and then take it 479 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: out further. I will say that for those of you 480 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: who weren't at the game and maybe missed it for 481 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: whatever reason, in their pregame, they did a very elaborate, 482 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: very over the top super Bowl like commemorative home Coach 483 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: Max said it. They they treated it like it was homecoming. 484 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: It was extra Oh it was special, Oh yeah, they really. 485 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: I mean there were sets and there were interviews and 486 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: Isaac Bruce was there, and the whole thing it was, 487 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: it was a thing. And they wore the uniforms from 488 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and they y you know, the whole 489 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: thing was a It was a thing. You know, it 490 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: felt good to win that game. It did. It felt 491 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: quite lovely. So just let your mind take from that, 492 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: Andy and you can. You probably got your answer. K 493 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: from London, the United Kingdom asks what do you think 494 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: is the Titans biggest deficiency or need heading into the 495 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: off season. I mean, they're gonna have several needs, because 496 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: you're when you have good teams, you're always going to 497 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: lose guys, right, And when you don't have ninety million 498 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: dollars of cap room, you're gonna lose guys. And the 499 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: Titans don't have ninety million dollars in cap room, got Lee. 500 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: I mean, it really matters who they resign. And I 501 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: mean that's that's gonna be a big question mark. I 502 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: don't know that we'll know the full need. I would 503 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: say a position that is obvious right now is tight end. Right, Yeah, 504 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: that's probably the best answer I can give right now. 505 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,719 Speaker 1: Tight end. They're still going to be a lot to 506 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: watch as a off season once the Titans stopped playing 507 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: football whenever, that is when all of that starts to happen, 508 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: because all of the sudden, what is usually what feels 509 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: like a very long early part of the offseason getting 510 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: ready for the draft and all of that becomes a 511 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: little bit shorter. Absolutely, So we're going to be fast 512 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: and furious when it comes to having some news. It's 513 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: going to feel like it comes a lot fast. Well, 514 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: and if two or three players leave the team at 515 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: one position, then all of a sudden, the answer to 516 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: Kay's question is that position. Right, we don't exactly know 517 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: what John Robinson's mathematical equation is going to be. We 518 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: had a pretty good idea they were gonna let Corey 519 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: Davis walk, and they were gonna let John new Smith 520 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: walk because they needed that money for defense. Right, They 521 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: needed Bud Dupree and they needed Denico Autry and they 522 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: needed Jack Rabbit Jenkins, and you know they needed that money. 523 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: This year, they're gonna need money because they don't have 524 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: a lot of money and they've been successful, and when 525 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: you've been successful, people always want your players. But at 526 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: what position? We don't know that yet. Matt from Rockland California. 527 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: What ways if any of the Titans locked down Saint 528 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: Thomas Sports Park to limit outside exposure of the coronavirus 529 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: as the season progresses. Now that we've ventured the postseason, 530 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: is the team taking any extra measures to help players 531 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: remain healthy and avoid the virus. The Titans have been 532 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: at the forefront of this in terms of distancing and 533 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: mask wearing and virtual meetings and things of this sort 534 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: ever since October twenty the end of September twenty twenty, 535 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: when that big outbreak hit. So they know how to 536 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: do this, and they have kept a lot of things 537 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: in place from a year ago. And I think that's 538 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: a big deal if they've just made that part of 539 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: the regular norm. And so I don't know that they're 540 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: doing a lot extra, but they have continued with some 541 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: things over a long period of time. They've definitely been 542 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: able to get it down to a science. Well, it's 543 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: been vigilant, you know, they've been vigilant with what they've done, 544 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: just realizing, Okay, if we do X, Y and Z, 545 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,959 Speaker 1: then we give ourselves a better chance to not have 546 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,719 Speaker 1: a COVID issue.
