00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,159
Speaker 1: Senior writer editor, Welcome back. Glad to be here with

8
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: the crew. Let's dive into some news that came out

9
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 1: earlier today and yesterday. A couple of moves made by

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: the Titans as they add Daniel Munner back to the

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: practice squad. He's an offensive lineman, so now back up

12
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 1: to ten guys on the practice squad. The Titans make

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: a move with Rod Smith at running back, they let

14
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: him go, and earlier today it's announced they pick up

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: a former Vanderbilt commodore. Yeah, Cary Blossing Game, who's a

16
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: tough runner. You know, he's six one two or thirty

17
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: pound back from Huntsville that I think he had right

18
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: at four four hundred yards during his final season at

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: Vannible five touchdowns and I still remember his pro day

20
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: and at Mike Vrabel watching him and being impressed with

21
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: him and then going over to talk to him after

22
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: his pro day, and he spends the time with the Vikings,

23
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: and now he fills a spot here with the Titans,

24
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: and we'll be given an opportunity to show we can

25
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: do in practices. Great opportunity for him, Coachmac to come

26
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: in on the active roster, well, come in on the

27
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: active roster, and also to a place where he's familiar.

28
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: I mean, he's mean, and that makes a lot of

29
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: difference for these guys, especially these these mid season pickups,

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, he'll have a lot of comfortablity

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: just coming here, you know, just coming. So it'll be

32
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: interesting to see job one a chance maybe to cover kicks, absolutely,

33
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: I mean. And and the other thing is is if

34
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: he has been out of ball, which you know, Jim

35
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: says he has been, he's got fresh legs. That's a

36
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: good thing, frist legs. And the tastes. It feels like

37
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: John Robinson wants a big back to add to this roster. Well,

38
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: I mean he's replacing a big back, right, you know.

39
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: And and and so to me, that's what I get.

40
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: Let me just rephrase that. I think that's why they

41
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: wanted rod Smith in the first exactly right, That's exactly right.

42
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: And there's always I mean, they've got a big back.

43
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: We have a big back, but the other one is

44
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: very small, yes, and so they maybe they want in

45
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: the middle like the three Bears, like the three Bears.

46
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: That's fair, all right? So we take a deep breath

47
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: after what was an exciting win, Amy Wells, can you

48
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: describe what it was like to be on the field

49
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: for the moment where the kick was blocked? Where were

50
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: you and what was it like? It was pandemonium, I

51
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: think is the best way to describe it. I was

52
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: in the bench area because we're getting ready to run

53
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: on the field, and I'm standing with our public relations

54
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: staff because we need to make a decision based on

55
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: if we win or with if we lose, kind of

56
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: what our next moves are as broadcasters. So I'm standing

57
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: there talking to them, and as things are unfolding, my

58
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: heart starts beating faster and faster and faster. And when

59
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: that kick is blocked, everybody starts jumping up and down.

60
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if everybody is aware of Dwight Spraadland,

61
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: who's on our pr staff. Great guy, not the most

62
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: athletic human I've ever seen, but his vertical is gotta

63
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: be ninety five. I've never seen a human being jump

64
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: so high in my life. It was crazy and everybody

65
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: was so excited, and I wasn't entirely sure what had

66
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: happened until I was in the middle of the field,

67
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 1: because I was like, well, everybody's moving, we gotta go.

68
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: And so I get on the field and someone goes

69
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: he blocked the kick. I was like, is that what happened?

70
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: All right? Yeah? Because sometimes people don't realize and Coach

71
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: mcgaran on this too. The side line it's the worst

72
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: place to watch, the absolute worst, the absolute worst, and

73
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,119
Speaker 1: especially when it gets down to crunch time and everybody's

74
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: crowding the sideline. And then as Amy was describing, I mean,

75
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: she's trying to decide what she needs to do to

76
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: do her job as far as once this thing is

77
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: over with, so I could see, you know very much.

78
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: Plus most of those people that are down there on

79
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: the sideline that she's down there with, they're taller than

80
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: she is, yea, And so it's gonna be I mean,

81
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: it is a bad view on the sideline. It absolutely

82
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: is after every game, I have to go home and

83
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: rewatch the game because there's so many things that I

84
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: miss just because there's people in front of me. I

85
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: was working on something else, or I can't see the

86
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: opposite side of the field because the guys who play

87
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: are giants. So there's a lot of things that I miss,

88
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: and a lot of times at the end of the

89
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: game when something happens, my brain has moved on to

90
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: what needs to happen. And work in a job, yeah,

91
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: I'm doing my job, So I miss so much of

92
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: When we have these games where everything happens in the

93
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: last two minutes, people are like, what did you think

94
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: about this? I'm like, I don't know what happened. I

95
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: wasn't really watching that part, so I always have to

96
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: go back and check. But man, everybody booked it onto

97
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: the field, so it was crazy and so much better

98
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: when I figured out what had happened. Jim White, do

99
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: you still go down with two minutes to go? Or

100
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: do you stay in the booth? Now I don't. I

101
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: have to stay because the minute the game ends, I

102
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: have to publish out a story and then tweet it out.

103
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: So it's it's like Amy's describing for me, it's a

104
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: hectic time. But that's how the media used to go

105
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: down with like two minutes to go, I used to

106
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: be but that was really before the days of the

107
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: Internet and before the days of posting stories. Because now,

108
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: at least myself, I don't think everybody writes a game

109
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: story right when the game ends. RASA walker's always up

110
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 1: there banging out a story feverishly to get it up

111
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: for the associator, press and myself. I always try to

112
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: have a story ready to go the minute the game ends,

113
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: publish it out, tweet it out, rundown to the press conference.

114
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: And from a writer's perspective, that game was crazy because

115
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: I had it written one way, and then the way

116
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: I had it written, as the Titans dropped to four

117
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: and six with the loss and and and heading in

118
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: the pile week, I mean with a minute left, or

119
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: after they didn't get the four point conversion, you got

120
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: to start putting the finishing touches. One story. So I

121
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: had kind of framed out a story that things weren't

122
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: looking so well, and then when the Titans got the

123
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: ball back, I was rewriting and I was writing, you know,

124
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: you got to write a winning, a story as if

125
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: the team won, and a story as if the team lost.

126
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: In the minute the Titans score. Then I had to

127
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: redo everything, and I missed a lot of stuff. What happened,

128
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: uh you know as a result of that, so UH

129
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: mentorsh game ended. I changed a lot of stuff in there,

130
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: wrote about the improbable win, wrote about the events of

131
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: the last couple of minutes, hit the published button, and

132
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: sprinted down to UH Mike Vrabel's press conference and made

133
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: it in time. But and I did, I have to

134
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: say among the things I did was well picked out

135
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: my winning. My dad sits down my eighty one year

136
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: old father who turns eighty two in December next month.

137
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: He goes he's one of the diehards. He goes to

138
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: every game, win or lose. And I happened to look

139
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: down there just to make sure that he was still

140
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: in his seat at the end, and I didn't see

141
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: him a lot of times he watches the game. He

142
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: likes to beat the traffic. I know this growing up

143
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: with them and going to games with him. And I

144
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: called him right off the game, just wanting to make

145
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: sure he was there to see it, and he had,

146
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: unfortunately left. He missed the dramatic finish. I hated it

147
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,239
Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, that's why this OLDTP is so good.

148
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: And I'm being dead straight up honest because listeners people

149
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: need to listen this. They have no idea about that, right,

150
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, about what their jobs are and what it

151
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: entails and the things that that happened. I mean they

152
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: think everybody, you know, he's just there, you know, putting

153
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: out a picnic lunch and we're having a nice time,

154
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: and that those are those are two really insightful stories.

155
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: I mean, they really are. I mean, that's that's good stuff. Well,

156
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: it was a great ending. It's funny because we did

157
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: You don't know what I was doing. I was about

158
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: to do a half gain around that window where you

159
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: and I saw you hanging out of the window. It

160
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: was just so outstanding. You have been. You have been

161
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: so good since you've been in this job. You in

162
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: the last two minutes were the best you have been though,

163
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: And I've heard that from more places. I spoke yesterday

164
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: in Hopkinsville, Kentucky at the Rotary Nice and the first

165
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: thing I walk in and the first thing they say

166
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: to me is worst coach mac Oh no, myke I

167
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: know you've been bumped. I'm totally bumped. Am I am

168
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: the opening act. That's what I have become with David McGinnis.

169
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: And that's okay, you know on tour, but as the

170
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: opening act. But the fact, the fact that that you've

171
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: always done that with the with the window wide open

172
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: up there is that you have to know you do?

173
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: I think you? I mean I think you half hit it.

174
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: Why you do now that I've been doing this, you

175
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: know all the years I was in the press box

176
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: as a coach. I mean it's closed because you wanted.

177
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: It's hermetically sealed because you need to be you know.

178
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: But that to get the feeling to have the fans

179
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: and especially here at home, those fans can turn around

180
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: and look at us, and what I love the fans

181
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: turn around when there's a there's a questionable call and

182
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: they'll turn around to look at us because they know

183
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: we get the monitor before they go. Coach Mac has

184
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: just to to sort of break down the fourth wall

185
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: a little bit. Coach Mac has a relationship with the

186
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: fans down in front of us, and most broadcasters don't

187
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: because they don't want to lose concentration concient Well, no,

188
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: you have a you have a different feel for it,

189
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: You're locked in in such a different way you can

190
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: do it. Most people can't do it because they can't.

191
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't take my mind. I'm sitting here thinking, Okay,

192
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: we've got this. I have to read this. Uh. I

193
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: want to talk about this. I want to ask Coach

194
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: Mac this question. Jonathan Hutton's going to talk about this.

195
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: I'm asking Philip Noel, who is Amy Wells conduit? What

196
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: does Amy have on the sideline? Brad Willis is telling

197
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: me something statistically or whatever. But you're in this constant

198
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: contact with the fan base, which I think is fantastic,

199
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: And I'm so glad you can do it because the

200
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: people around us, who sit around us, enjoy it so much.

201
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: I wish I could do it. When Calif Raymond on

202
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: that one, that's the one they wanted to know, they

203
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: flipped their heads around so fast to me and I

204
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: went down. He was They started telling all the people

205
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: around it. Coach Max says, he's down so much fun.

206
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: I got a question on Twitter actually earlier this week

207
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: about how you guys are able to remain so calm

208
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: when everything is going crazy within the game, and who says,

209
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: we are. It's someone who sits around you, guys and

210
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: is able to hear you in the booth, and they said,

211
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: you're engaged. You're obviously involved in what's going on, but

212
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: you seem to really be able to stay level and

213
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: calm in the face of two minutes of pandemonium. I

214
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: think it's the headset. And what I mean by that

215
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: is when a headset is on, you know you're working.

216
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: And if the headset is off, you you would have

217
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: the literal freedom to jump around and to be excited.

218
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: But I think when the headset is on, you know,

219
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: you've got to because, like I mean, it's still this

220
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: is a business, and we have clients. You know, we

221
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: have great clients. You know, Delta Dental, if Tennessee sponsors

222
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: the two minute warning. When we go to the two

223
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: minute warning, I've got to read what Delta Dental has

224
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: because they have paid money to be part of the broadcast.

225
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: Kroger has the sack, you know, Pinnacle has the red zone.

226
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's like when agent or when firks are

227
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: caught to pass at the twenty three yard line, I'm thinking, Okay,

228
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: he's not quite there, but I've got to make sure

229
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: I know where the Pinnacle reader is in case they

230
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: get inside the twenty. It's the job. And people would say, well,

231
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: you know commercials or whatever, that's why you get it

232
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: for free. Yeah, you get to listen to it for

233
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: free because these other people are great sponsors of what

234
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: we do. That's why this old again, these behind the

235
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: fourth wall, as you said, and the stuff that goes on,

236
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 1: I mean it really is. It is a well orchestrated

237
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: I was so impressed when I first started doing it

238
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: three seasons ago, because I had no idea what it was.

239
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: I know what it is to coach a game, and

240
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: I know how you have to coordinate coaches, and I

241
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: know what all goes on there that people don't know about.

242
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: But a top flight radio broadcast in the National Football

243
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: League it opened my eyes quick. I'm just proud I

244
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: haven't ever had to hit the dump button and embarrass anybody,

245
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: because when I was coaching up there in the box,

246
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: I've been known to throw a few headsets. Well, the

247
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: only disappointment I had about Sunday is that Jim Nance

248
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: and Tony Romo were there. That was disappointing. It's disappointing

249
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: because I know a lot of people were watching. How

250
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: good are they? How good are Jim Nance and Tony Romo.

251
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm thinking, let me tell you something. Any

252
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: sport and I love on the NBA. I love when

253
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neil are on together on the

254
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: set at the half and pregame and post game. I

255
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: think that's some of the greatest television I've ever seen

256
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: in my entire life. But Jim Nance and Tony Romo

257
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: together are so good. I mean it, I could watch

258
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: them call anything. Let me just say this from my

259
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: aspect from being a and Romo is a football guy.

260
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: Oh he's football. He's football. He hadn't been in the

261
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: league long as I have, but he's football. He's been

262
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: a quarterback in the National Football League. But he is

263
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: so fortunate. And I'm saying this just because I am too.

264
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: When you go in and you're brand new doing it,

265
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: to go in with a play by play guy that

266
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: is at the top of his game and that and

267
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: to me like for me coming in with I mean,

268
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: and nas did the same thing with him that you

269
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: did with me. I mean, it's to me I can

270
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: relate to that because if you're brand new at it

271
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: and you're the guy that's really running the show, is

272
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: really good at it, then all of a sudden, you

273
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: get a chance to develop. And that's what Tony Romo

274
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: well he is, not just the fact that he calls plays,

275
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: but just how he calls the game. I like the

276
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: sound of their voices together because they sound different enough,

277
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: but you know who you know when Nance is talking,

278
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: and when you know when Romo's talking, Nance sets Romo

279
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: up beautifully. Romo talks to you like you're a guy

280
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: sitting there or a girl sitting there watching a game

281
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: with him. That's what I like about Tony Romo so

282
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: much is that he is educated. Obviously, he's an expert

283
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: when it comes to football, and he knows all of

284
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: this information. He's able to relay it in a way

285
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: that I go, huh, that's interesting. Well, being a person

286
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: who has never played a snap of football's to John

287
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: Madden's secret. That's what John Madden could do better than anybody.

288
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: And I think Romo has sort of assumed that Mantle is.

289
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: It's such an easy listen. Oh yeah, when you are

290
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: watching their game and you were listening to the two

291
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: of them talk, you never start talking back to the

292
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: TV like you do with some people. You're just you're

293
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: just able to sit and enjoy it. And I'm of

294
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: course teasing that I'm disappointed that they were here. I'm

295
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: glad they were here. I'm disappointed for Titans Radio because

296
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: I know people were watching and I understand, but man,

297
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: they are good. So he's such an excitable guy, Romo especially,

298
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: I mean just of listening and watched that final a

299
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: couple of minutes, you know, a couple of different times,

300
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: and you could just sense as the Titans were putting

301
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: that drive together at the end, what the excitement was

302
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: like the in the stands and on the field as

303
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: they were getting closer, because you could hear it in

304
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: Romo's voice. So I think if you're a Titans fan

305
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: and you've wondered about this team getting attention, enough attention,

306
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: and again we don't need to put the car ahead

307
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: of the horse here because one game and the teams

308
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: of five and five and it needs to be more consistent.

309
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: But that one played out perfectly on Sunday because you

310
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: got the top crew there, took care of business. With

311
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: so many people watching the post game show, I mean

312
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: they listening to Boomer and sims And and coach Kawer

313
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: then talk about the Titans and just seeing all of

314
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: the reaction that's come out of this game is good. Now,

315
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: you gotta figure out a way to keep it going.

316
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: You know. The cool thing about that game too, was

317
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: you know how the National Football League now with all

318
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: these next gen stats that they have, they have the

319
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: top five fastest rate players in the league. Three of

320
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: were in that game. Three of them were in that

321
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: game in those plays Kyrie Hill, Kyrie Hill, Hardman and

322
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: Henry and three of the top five fastest. So I mean,

323
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: as a fan just watching it, it was a show.

324
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: It was a show. Yeah. And I'm so glad my

325
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: Homes played. I mean, I wanted him to play this game.

326
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's like seeing Jordan plays incredible. I mean,

327
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: he's he's just a jump passes and throwing against his

328
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: body and throwing darts forty yards down the field, and

329
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: he's a spectacular player. And I think that's what makes

330
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: the one even more impressive if you beat them when

331
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 1: they were at their best, when you're really not at

332
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: your best, because you know, I know we'll get the

333
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: injuries and what the outlook is on some of these

334
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: guys move before. But Titans played this game without technically

335
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: five starters. One of the starters, Malcolm Butler, won't be back.

336
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: But to rise up and play that kind of game

337
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: against their best is certainly a really positive to the

338
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: best play of the game to me, best play of

339
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: the game technically just watching was it Dorry Jackson Tyreek

340
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: Hill on that on that jump ball down the sideline.

341
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: That was two speed athletes and that was that. That

342
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: was a that was a stutter. That was a stutter

343
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: God move. That's where I mean, you know how hard

344
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: it is to keep up with Tyreek Hill because he

345
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: accelerates immediately and a Dory was in phase with him perfectly.

346
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: That was that to me was a beautiful play. It

347
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: really was. It was attrack me but but they were

348
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: just they were both technically right too. Because Tyreek Hill,

349
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: you know, people think he's just a smaller receiver. He

350
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: can elevate, he can. But but a Dori Jackson the

351
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: athleticism he showed to be able to stay in face

352
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: when he started and stopped and stayed right with him

353
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: and then went up at the same time. That was

354
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: my favorite play of the whole game. And you have

355
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: to give him credit for Balan too, because he missed

356
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: some tackles early, and certainly I thought he settled down

357
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: as the game went on and made some big plays late.

358
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: I thought he did too. I thought everybody in the

359
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: secondary played their rear ends off or else Mahomes might

360
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: have thrown for a thousand yards. It was. It was

361
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: just a great game. And what stands out to me

362
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: about it as we left there is I thought, that's

363
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,239
Speaker 1: why you buy a ticket. That's why you have to

364
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: be here. Absolutely that's why. And I know we talk

365
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: about tickets and we want to get more Titans fans

366
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,239
Speaker 1: to this Jacksonville game because this football team needs you.

367
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: Titans Online dot com, slash tickets, buy tickets, be there.

368
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: But the fact is, this is not hype, This is

369
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: not overdoing it. This is not you know, trying to

370
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: twist your arm. This is for real Sunday. Is why

371
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 1: you buy it ticket. You buy a ticket for the drama,

372
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: You buy a ticket for the atmosphere. You buy a

373
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: ticket for Derrick Henry, for Patrick Mahomes, for Tyreek Hill,

374
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: for a Dory Jackson, for calif Raymond, for Joshua klu

375
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean you should have charged people in extra twenty

376
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: walking out the door for that. Yeah, it was fantastic

377
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: to be there. Was just magical. If you love sports,

378
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: I've been involved over six hundred and sixty of these things. Wow,

379
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: that was one of the better ones. I mean, just

380
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: for everything involved with it, and plus just because of

381
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: the quality of the competition between those two teams. I mean,

382
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: that had everything you would want. And I agree with you.

383
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: You should have been charged extra when you walked out

384
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: of that place just because because guess who everybody was there.

385
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: Guess when they'll forget that game never never, well think

386
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: about it. If you were a kid, Oh my god,

387
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: Like my nephew was there. He's eleven and he wanted

388
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: his quarterbacks, so he wanted to see Mahomes and I

389
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: get it. But he's not will forget Ryan Tannehill either,

390
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: And I mean all of that. I mean, he'll remember

391
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: that game for the rest of his life. That helps

392
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: make you a fan. Well, and if you saw it

393
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: on TV, you do not have the same experience period.

394
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: You just didn't. And I mean, I think the thing

395
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: that gets forgotten so much these days because there's social media,

396
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: there's TV, there's all there's twenty four hours worth of

397
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: NFL news, So you feel like you have a lot

398
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: more access to these people when you go to a

399
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: stadium and you see them in real life. You're not

400
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: seeing their little Twitter picture. You are seeing the actual

401
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, the actual Derrick Henry. They're real live, They're

402
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: right in front of you, and they are the best

403
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: at what they do. So being able to have that experience,

404
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: to be in the same space as these people and

405
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: be able to watch them perform at the highest level,

406
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: it's not the same on TV. It's just not. Well,

407
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: that's six people fly in from LA for this game

408
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: and specifically for this matchup. It came in Thursday to

409
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: experience Nashville, right, right, But that ball game. I mean,

410
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: they they they they said they would fly across country

411
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: to do that all the time. Well, it's why Jim

412
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: Wyatt and I I think have a different perspective on

413
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: it than some who followed the Titans because we're from here,

414
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: right We never neither one of us ever anticipated that

415
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: we would have a team here. So when we see

416
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: something like that in Nashville, much like how we saw

417
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: the draft, when we saw something like that happened, and

418
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: when we saw Sunday. We never thought we'd see that here.

419
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: We never thought our town would would host an NFL

420
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: event like the Draft, or host games like the one

421
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: we saw on side of your right. I mean, I

422
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: still remember the day first here and about the Olders

423
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: potentially move into Nashville, saw the stadium come up and

424
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: what used to be nothing over there across the river,

425
00:21:55,359 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: and and we remember, you know, the name change, the

426
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: unveiling other uniforms, and just seeing this thing from the beginning. So, uh,

427
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: the NFL Special And really this is three weeks in

428
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: a row when we've had dramatic endings at at Nissan Stadium,

429
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, counting the Chargers game, in the Bucketeers game,

430
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 1: and now obviously this game against the Chief. So hopefully

431
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: more more exciting ones to come here as we close

432
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: it out. All right, so let's get to some topics here.

433
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let Coach mack go first with this one.

434
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: Who is your titan who has played the best in

435
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: the season's first ten games. I'll go Coach mac Amy,

436
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: and then Jim. That's good. I'm glad you chose that order,

437
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: because when Amy and I got in here first, we

438
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: teamed up and said, if you said Jim was going first,

439
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: we were both gonna say no. Okay, so three people here,

440
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: Jim Cheap, you're the boss of this, but you did,

441
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: I'm not the boss. Okay, here we go. Logan Ryan

442
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: who thirty four tackles, twenty five assistant tackles. I mean

443
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: talking about just playing past defense right now. Three tackles

444
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: for law, six quarterback hits, three and a half sacks.

445
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: This is for somebody out of the secondary leads the

446
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: league and passes defense eighteen eighteen passes defense, three force fumbles,

447
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: three interceptions, and in all of these ball games he's

448
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: played one hundred percent of the defensive snaps except for

449
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: the first game where he played. Logan Ryan's my guy.

450
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: I picked for Shaun Evans, and I was going to

451
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: do a similar dramatic reading of his stats. But as

452
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: I was looking at them, I decided that his stats

453
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: are not wholly representative of how much of an impact

454
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: he has had on this Titans defense. He has been consistent,

455
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: he's been reliable, and for all of the production he's had,

456
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: he has been a stable force within the defense so

457
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: that other people can also be productive. This is like

458
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: a fantasy draft you don't think your guys going to

459
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: still be there when you pick at three. You think

460
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: they're taking one and two. So I'm Dereck Henry sitting

461
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: in my lap and I can't pass them up. I say,

462
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry me eight hundred thirty two yards, eight touchdowns running,

463
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: you know, throw in his touchdown at the beginning of

464
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: the year against against the Browns, the seventy five yard catches,

465
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: got one hundred and sixty seven or seaving yards and

466
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. All he needs is an opportunity to keep

467
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: toting the football. And I think when they've relied on

468
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: him and leaned on him, he's produced. He's turning in

469
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl season. And so Dereck Henry has been

470
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: my best titan who's dealt with quarterback changes and a

471
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: lot of and some unsteady play with the offensive line

472
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: along the way. Mine is actually Harold Landry. Did you

473
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: just google that because we took all of yours. You're

474
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: on your computer. No, I was just punching up his

475
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: stats here, Harold Landry fifty two tackles, interception, forced fumble,

476
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,719
Speaker 1: seven sacks on pace right now for a double digit

477
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,719
Speaker 1: sack year, which is such a big thing that the

478
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: Titans need at the outside linebacker position. Outside linebacker played

479
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: last year was just not good enough. And I hate

480
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: to say that because I like the people involved, but

481
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: we understood they were at the end of their career.

482
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: He has given them the edge in that all important position.

483
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: If you're going to run this defense, you have to

484
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: have a guy doing what Harold Landry is doing saxon

485
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: three straight games. Harold Landry is my choice. So it's

486
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: a good choice. Well, thank you. Yeah, I appreciate that

487
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: those are four solid choices. Pretty good, all right, So

488
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: good job. Jim White goes first with this one. It's

489
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: like a snake draft. It is a snake draft. If

490
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: the Titans are going to make a run down the stretch,

491
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: where is the area they have to make the biggest

492
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: improvement from their first ten games? Well, I think the

493
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: kicking game. I mean just because if you look back

494
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: at the season, a lot of people have said, well,

495
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: where would this team be now if it made the

496
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: quarterback change earlier, if Ryan Tanneyhill had started, And I

497
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: think it's fair to question that, but also look and say,

498
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: if this team would have been more consistent kicking field

499
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: goals at the start of the season would be seven

500
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: and three instead of five and five. I think they're

501
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: two games better. Yeah, I do tooth and that's tough

502
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: to take because certainly the division look a lot different

503
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: right now if that happened. So, you know, Ryan suck

504
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: Up missed, you know, obviously an extra point on Sunday,

505
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: had a tough day against the Panthers. A couple of

506
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: kickers before them in Santos and Parkey Parky did better.

507
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: He missed an extra point himself, you know, kickoffs, not

508
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: getting into the end zone. I think that has to

509
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: get better, and I think the hope is that with

510
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: the bye week, not only are some of those guys

511
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: we talked about earlier who are coming back from injury,

512
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: I hope is Ryan suck Up will be able to

513
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: get healthier and be more consistent here down the stretch

514
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: because this team's gonna be in close games and they're

515
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: gonna need to be accurate kicking the football. If we're

516
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: gonna be in close games, we need to score more

517
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: in the first half, and more specifically, score in the

518
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: first quarter. This team wins when they score in the

519
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: first half. They just do. They win by a lot

520
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: when they score in the first quarter. They need to

521
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: set themselves up with a little bit of that cushion

522
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: so that they can rely on the run game and

523
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: lean on Derrick Henry and put themselves in position to

524
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: do those things so they're not constantly playing from behind

525
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: the chains. That piggyback of third down offense has got

526
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: to be better. It has to be better. We need

527
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: to extend drives and we need more possessions. I mean

528
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: that just has to happen in these final six games.

529
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: You know, because this defense has played a lot of

530
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: snaps through the first ten weeks of the season. Those

531
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: snaps need to decrease. The offense needs to possess the

532
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: ball longer. In this next group. Titans have to protect

533
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback better over the last six games. We've seen

534
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: the play of Ryan Tannehill in the last four games

535
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: elevate the play at the quarterback position. I think if

536
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: they can take care of him over the last six games,

537
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you have to be perfect, and certainly he

538
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: has to get rid of the ball at certain times.

539
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: Not every sack is on him. But if they protect

540
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: him well, I think this offense can continue to elevate

541
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: down the stretch. I think protection for Tannehill is key,

542
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: all right, speak King of Tannehill. Amy Wells goes first,

543
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: what does Ryan Tannehill have to prove over the last

544
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: six games for the Titans to make a commitment to

545
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: him for twenty twenty and beyond. Well I think the

546
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: obvious answer is winning games, But I think more specifically,

547
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: he needs to prove that he can be the guy

548
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 1: that we saw in the last two minutes of that

549
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: Chief's game throughout the season. I think that he needs

550
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: to continue to be that accurate. He needs to continue

551
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: to be that much of an aggressive leader, and he

552
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: needs to prove that he can rally this team and

553
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: get things done. I think that if he can really

554
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:40,719
Speaker 1: be that leader, motivator forced to win games when we

555
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,719
Speaker 1: need to, I think he makes a compelling argument for himself.

556
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: But Ryan Tannehill has to continue on the exact same path.

557
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: He's got to do exactly what he's doing, no more,

558
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: no less. Don't try to get outside your frame. He

559
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: does need better ball security in the pocket, he needs that.

560
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: He's got to do that, but just stay on the same,

561
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: on the same course with his offense and especially the

562
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: thing that he's brought to this offense. That is huge

563
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: is the red zone production. He's got to stay on

564
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: that path. Yeah, it's crazy that we're talking about this

565
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: now because it just shows you how quickly things change

566
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You know, the season starts and a

567
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: lot of people wonder about Marcus MARTA's future here and

568
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: now we're talking about Ryan Tannehills. I just think I

569
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: agree with coach Mike and Amy and he's just got

570
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: to keep doing what he's doing. He's got to stay healthy.

571
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he took he got rocked on a couple

572
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: of plays on Sunday, one of them in the pocket

573
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: as he was making a throw one at the goal

574
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: line when he's fighting for the two point conversion. Showed

575
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: he's not afraid to run. But he's got to stay

576
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: healthy and just keep winning games. And then you start

577
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: opening up your opening up questions about how do you

578
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: go about doing it? Do you sign him to a

579
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: franchise tag, do you sign him into a two year deal,

580
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: do you sign him to a long term deal? Do

581
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: you sign him to a short deal? Draft a quarterback,

582
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: I mean, elpens up a whole gamut of questions that

583
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: I'm not sure of us thought we'd be talking about

584
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: here is this season's drawing, hopefully not drawing to a close,

585
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: but heading into late November. I believe Ryan Tannehill has

586
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: to keep running. I think the aspect of his legs

587
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: and his willingness to take off along with all the

588
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: points that have been made before me. I think seven

589
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: carries for seventy five yards and a touchdown and a

590
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: two point conversion. It adds an element to the offense

591
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: that Marcus Mariota brought, which is important. It gives you

592
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: that extra edge, it helps on third downs, and he's

593
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: got to be willing to continue to make defenses defend

594
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: his legs. This is a really good athlete. We know.

595
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: He's from Big Spring, Texas. He's a guy who ran

596
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: basically the veer in high school. He played wide receiver,

597
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: he played defensive back. When he got to Texas A

598
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: and M, he lost the quarterback job, so he was

599
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: a wide receiver for two years. Said, guy's a good athlete,

600
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: not looking for twenty five carries, not interested in him

601
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: being Lamar Jackson. But please keep taking off periodically because

602
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: that breaks down the defense. That's great. He ran the

603
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: beer for the Big Spring Steers by the way. That's right.

604
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: The Steers are the Deers. Steers every year Snyder Tiger's

605
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: Big Spring, Steers, big rivalry. Seriously, yes, and how did

606
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: you do against them? Well, let me think a sophomore year.

607
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: We've got driven, Okay, smoked. Okay, Junior year, smoke them, oh,

608
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: senior year. Hell of a ball game, okay, Steers one

609
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,959
Speaker 1: oh one and two against the Steers rats. Well, that

610
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: leads us to what's brewing. And it's not Big Spring

611
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: against Snyder, although it sounds like a hell of a

612
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: magic it does. Indeed, you spoke and we listened. The

613

00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: Duncan's talking a new twist on a classic, creating a

Speaker 1: The plant based Way America runs on Duncan. What's brewing,

623
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: Jim Wyatt, Well, what's brewing is some groundbreaking, you know,

624
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: the expansion of Saint Thomas Sports Park. The building we're

625
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: sitting in right now, sixty thousands, Amy Adams Strunk and

626
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: the team analysis this morning, sixty thousand square feet. In additions,

627
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: in addition to major renovations inside the existing seventy five

628
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: thousand foot structure, they're gonna change, obviously, the meeting rooms.

629
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna change, you know, the coaching staff offices, are

630
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: going to change the space that we live in. They're

631
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: gonna add a two thousand square foot events space that's

632
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: gonna over look the practice field. Um, it's gonna be

633
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: a completely different place, Uh, you know, in a place

634
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: that I think we'll all be proud of, and I

635
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: think fans will be proud of they come out here

636
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: for training camp. So that's what broom my mind. How

637
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: neat this is gonna be. I've been with this team.

638
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: I came aboard in two thy fifteen, and I'm in

639
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: my fourth space right now. I've been moving around lot

640
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: just because when somebody else comes in there, they're bringing

641
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: another demand more the other bringing other people. This is

642
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: not enough. This better than the place that Amy And

643
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: when I first got here, I was in a space

644
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: with Asty Farrell and Amy Wells and uh and Gary

645
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: Glenn and Jeff Harding. We were all in this one

646
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: little area. And now that place has been completely renovated.

647
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: Then I didn't want to be around him. Yeah yeah,

648
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: let's just say. Now now he's in the office where

649
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: they used to take people to fire him. Yeah, well,

650
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: I didn't think about that. Was I'm in a dangerous

651
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: pop with that. I'm back to another place that's been

652
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: completely redone about another place that's been redonding. That's because

653
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: we've had so many new people come to the organization

654
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: that they're trying to get people together. Now we're gonna

655
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: have people from across the street in the annex, We're

656
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: gonna have people at the stadium all beat together. So

657
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be great. For another number of reasons. I

658
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: need to get out of the space I'm in now.

659
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: If it's the firing office, No, that's actually not true.

660
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: It's just fun to say on the OTP coach Mac,

661
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: what is brewing with you? Week ten in the National

662
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 1: Football League. We all just experienced it, right, There were

663
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: thirteen games because we had some teams that had an

664
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: open date. Eleven of those thirteen games were decided by

665
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: single digits. Eleven of the thirteen decided by single digits.

666
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: At week ten, the two outliers New Orleans and got beat. Yeah, bad,

667
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: bad coming off of Buyebye Atlantica. Is this is the

668
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: National Football League any given Sunday. And then Cincinnati just

669
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: because they stink. Okay now, but teams in Week ten

670
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: after a long time coach here, you get a book

671
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: on everybody. Now you get a book on everybody. That's

672
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: when things start to tighten down. And you will see

673
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: these next six weeks. It's all about adjustments and it's

674
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: about health these next six weeks. That's what's brewing in

675
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: the National Football League, Amy Wells, what's brewing with you

676
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: the next six weeks? I didn't realize. I mean, I

677
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: knew that the Titans final six games were going to

678
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: be a bit of a bear. I knew this going

679
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: into it. However, it didn't strike me how much of

680
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: a heavy lift that was going to be until last night.

681
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: We were at Titans tonight. Keith Bullock is sitting on

682
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: his phone and he just goes, oh, shoot and I

683
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, did something happen? He goes. I just

684
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 1: looked at the next six games and I was like, oh, no,

685
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 1: I mean the Tennessee Titans are home against the Jags,

686
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: then they go on the road to take on the Colts,

687
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: Then they go on the road to take on the Raiders.

688
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 1: Excuse me, then home against the Towns, home against the Saints,

689
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: and then they go to Houston to take on the

690
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: Texans to close out the season. That is you said

691
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: it yesterday, the third tough th toughest remaining schedule the NFL. Like,

692
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: what in the world did the Titans do to draw

693
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: that in the last six games? Having a late buy

694
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,919
Speaker 1: It kind of ended up happening at a good time

695
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: for this Titans team. We've been remarkably healthy going through

696
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: knock on all the wood, but it fell it a

697
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: good time when the Titans could use some extra rest,

698
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: get some guys back for the last stretch. But this

699
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: is going to be a bear. I hope that everybody's

700
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: taken some naps because we've got a lot of work

701
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: to do in the last six weeks. What's brewing with

702
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,479
Speaker 1: me actually sort of pivots off that it's the next

703
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: two games. I think the next two games determine the

704
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: total version of this season that we're going to see.

705
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: It's home for Jacksonville, it's at Indianapolis. If you win

706
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: them both, you are in an unbelievable position heading down

707
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: the stretch, because then suddenly having two games against Houston

708
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: is a great thing for you. If you split, I'm

709
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: not really sure what that means. If you lose them both,

710
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 1: you're owing four in the division, You're three and six

711
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: in the AFC. Isn't it funny that that's how the

712
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: season started, was Jags Colts and now the last portion

713
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: is starting Jags Colts. Yeah, I mean, I mean, this

714
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: weekend's gonna be fun to watch because you've got Houston

715
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: at Baltimore and you've got the Colts playing against the Jags.

716
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean, we could see things get really interesting as

717
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: a result of these games this weekend. So that's gonna

718
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: be fun. And I'll look back piggyback and off of

719
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: what you guys said. It is a tough road to hope.

720
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: But when I look at the fact that the team

721
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: has two out the final three games, because the Texans

722
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: is probably a good thing now, and look at what

723
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: the Texans got coming up. I mentioned at Baltimore, then

724
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: they've got the Colts, then they've got the Patriots Denver,

725
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: then obviously the Titans and Titans twice, and then at

726
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. So I mean, I think you have hope

727
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: by looking at what some other people have on the

728
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: horizon as well, because because and he's the same way,

729
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, their schedule looks like it could

730
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: give them a little bit of trouble. Guess who's gonna

731
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: see Houston Baltimore this weekend. You're going to Guinness. Got

732
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 1: a good gig. I'm gonna do a game for Sports

733
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: USA Network. Larry CON's been trying to get me. So

734
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: what he needs during the bye weekend is more work.

735
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: So he does radio on one oh four or five

736
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: three times a week, yeah four. He does Mac Talk

737
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: on Thursday nights. He does Coach Raybels Show on Monday nights.

738
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: He does Beneath the Surface on Titans All Access and

739
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: it runs on the Titans social media channels with Ashley

740
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: Farrell with Ashley Farrell, and then obviously does the games

741
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: and he goes to practice and he's here and he's

742
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: visiting with you know, coach Vraybell and doing all sorts

743
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: of things. So what he needs is to go call

744
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: another game. I've been coach make is one of those

745
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: people who can't sit still for very long. He gets squirrely.

746
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: Gotta keep you busy. But I mean, this is a

747
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: good game. This you know, when when he asked me

748
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: to do it, you know, and and you're doing it

749
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: with Larry con Y con Yeah, he's gonna call, He's

750
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: gonna be you know, he owns it and he's gonna

751
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: be played by play. But anyway, this is a good

752
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: game because this first of all, I want to see

753
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: what's going on in Baltimore. Okay, that's interesting, and then

754
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: I want to see the Texans and plus both these

755
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: quarterbacks they're in the MVP race. Yeah, Baltimore will be live.

756
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 1: We've all been to Baltimore before for games, guys, as Titans,

757
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: we know how live that place can get. This thing

758
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 1: will be rocking this weekend. I'll have some good reports

759
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: for you. Coach Mike. Have to load up on some

00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 1: the week. I've got to read this great taste plant
