1 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: I'm Taylor's Arzer and this is the otp oh Amy. 2 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 2: What a heartbreaker? Ah oh yeah, that's pretty much all 3 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 2: you can say. 4 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: Those are my comments. 5 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 2: Uh and yeah, it's less a commentary and more just 6 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 2: like an emotion a sound. Yeah, because it just you 7 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 2: felt like you were right there, and I mean you 8 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 2: actually physically. 9 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: Were right there, and it's. 10 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 2: Just so frustrated one or two things go in a 11 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,279 Speaker 2: different direction, it's a completely different game. And I know 12 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: we say that a lot, but it really felt like 13 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 2: Taylor's arsa. I need you to know I ran, and 14 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 2: I don't run. Wait what yeah exactly. 15 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 1: I know you've already told me that you don't like it. 16 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: I do not run, but to get from the field 17 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 2: up to the booth for the last third seconds of 18 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 2: the game because I didn't want to miss anything. Oh 19 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,199 Speaker 2: I sprinted. 20 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: I did notice you were in the booth very quickly. 21 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 2: Up multiple flights of stairs because I didn't want to 22 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 2: miss it. That is how invested I was in the 23 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 2: Titans getting a win. I also, because we've talked on 24 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 2: this show about how I feel the need randomly to 25 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 2: get very high or very low in moments of like 26 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 2: football drama. I was standing on a swivel chair, which 27 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 2: is not recommend I don't like that. And I know 28 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: for sure Joseph Bonano, who's uh, our great Titans radio engineer, 29 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 2: was looking at me and was. 30 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: Like, you're gonna fall? What is she doing? Like? 31 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: Why is this the time to be doing this? But 32 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 2: I had to be up high. 33 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: So where I thought, Okay, I was about to ask you, 34 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: I had to be up high I had. I was 35 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: about to ask you, what did it feel like that 36 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: game tying drive on the field? And I did it. 37 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: I did not know you were right behind me. 38 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 2: Standing in a swivel chair, behind you, risking my life 39 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 2: on wheels so that I could be as high as 40 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: physically possible. You didn't even know I was standing right 41 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 2: behind you. 42 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: I got pretty excited on that jig. 43 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 2: Catch you sure did, Yeah, you sure did. 44 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: Look there's a lot to unpack here. The heartbreak of 45 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: another loss is certainly at the top of the list. 46 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are going to say 47 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: no moral victories and all that sort of thing, and 48 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: there's frustration, and certainly there was plenty of that on Sunday, 49 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: But I will tell you, like I was really impressed 50 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: with the way the defense played against the Houston Texans 51 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: throughout the game on Sunday. To have Jeff Simmons and 52 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: to and Andre Sweat lining up next to each other 53 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: for an entire game felt good. It did feel good. 54 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: Jeff Simmons, we were told was going to be on 55 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: a pitch count, and Jeff Simmons played the whole football game. 56 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: Good luck getting Jeff Simmons number ninety eight off of 57 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,399 Speaker 1: the football field. He's got at least five Let's see, 58 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: I've got it right here in my notes. Jeff Simmons 59 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: has a at least five sacks for the fifth straight year. Yep, 60 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: that's pretty impressive. Only four other Titans slash oilers have 61 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: ever done that. Ray Chuldress, William Fuller, Jorell Casey, and 62 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 1: Sean Jones are the others. But that's that's really rare. 63 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: So he was back to playing at his incredible level. 64 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: Cedric Gray had eleven more tackles in the game. Amy 65 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: He now has ninety eight tackles for the season. That's 66 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: the most that any Titan has had through their first 67 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: ten games in twenty five years. We had our buddy 68 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: Stephen Tullock in the booth before the game, and Gray 69 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: passed Tullock for the most tackles through ten games. He 70 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: was outstanding in the game. Cody Barton with a great 71 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: sack on a turnover on downs to start the game. Huge, Huge, 72 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: you really did. Arden Key had a couple of sacks. 73 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: Arden comes back and plays really well, So I love 74 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: seeing that. And then in a look the offense was sputtering. 75 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: It was sputtering in parts because Calvin Ridley. Gosh, you 76 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: just really hate to see this broken fibula first catch 77 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: of the game. Cam to Calvin, You're so excited to 78 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: see that again. It's works so hard to get back 79 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: and he has that injury after a thirteen yard catch. 80 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: But you don't have Calvin for some of the game. 81 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: You didn't have Chim yep, and you're you know, you're 82 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: trying to get used to new receivers out there on 83 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: the field. And to lead the team on a ninety 84 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: five yard drive like that and tie the game was 85 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: so encouraging, especially given the way the defense played. So yeah, 86 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: this on this one hurts well. 87 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 2: There are a couple different things about that drive too 88 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: that were very impressive. First, it was the amount of 89 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 2: people that were able to be involved and contribute that 90 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 2: Chig catch was amazing. Seeing guys like Van Jefferson show 91 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 2: up in big ways and Mason Kinsey and all of 92 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,239 Speaker 2: those guys step up into the moment was huge. Also 93 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 2: seeing cam Ward's leadership, the way he continues to grow, 94 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: not only as a player on the field, not only 95 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 2: as a game manager, but just as the guy that's 96 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 2: in charge as the steadying force of the offense. He's 97 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 2: a rookie player and it can be really hard to 98 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: walk into those situations with guys who are older than 99 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: you in a lot of situations who have played more 100 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: football and say, hey, guys, it's okay, I got this, 101 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: Like we're gonna be okay. We just have to keep going. 102 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 2: And this game against the Houston Texans was the first 103 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: time that I saw cam Ward on the field on 104 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: the sidelines in all the different places, like being the 105 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 2: vocal leader that you expect to see, not to say 106 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: that he hasn't been a leader before, doing a good job, 107 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 2: but to see him going down and saying, hey, guys, 108 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: we got to stay in it, holding people accountable when 109 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 2: they needed to be held accountable, but in a way 110 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 2: that said we can keep going, we can fix this. 111 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 2: It's going to be okay, I need you to trust me. 112 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: That's what you want to see out of a leader 113 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 2: in that position. 114 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: Especially Amy, given how you're facing the best defense in 115 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: the National Football League. 116 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 2: Yep. 117 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: You know, Daniil Hunter and Will Anderson are collectively probably 118 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: the best duo of pass rushers in the league. Hunter 119 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: at a sack, Anderson had a forced fumble and fumble recovery, 120 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: and Cam was able to overcome that. Yep. And what 121 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: we'll talk to coach McCoy about that I really like 122 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: from Cam in the game is how he stepped up 123 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: and took off and used his legs a couple of 124 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: times to keep moving the football down the field. The 125 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: twenty yard gain on the last drive of the game 126 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: where he used his legs, and then certainly that throw 127 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: that to me, I know, the io manor back shoulder 128 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: touchdown his first touchdown that he threw was incredible. But 129 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: the throw that he made to Chick a con Quo 130 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: for thirty nine yards on a third and sixteen, perfectly 131 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: dropping in the bucket. Chig with an unbelievable job to 132 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: make that catch, which led of course to the Van 133 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: Jefferson touchdown. Those are those are special moments. Those are 134 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 1: the moments you really wanted to see from Cam and 135 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: from this offense. 136 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 2: Well, and how excited was Chig after that catch? Like, 137 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 2: did you see his celebration? I didn't. I mean, I 138 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: knew Chig had it in him. 139 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: I was guttle. 140 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 2: It was yell, pure emotional excitement. And seeing that passion 141 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 2: from this team, it still existing, is in there. These 142 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 2: guys want to win these football games. So like, those 143 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 2: are the moments that we are living for, those moments 144 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 2: where a guy makes that great play and he is 145 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 2: able to really contribute to this team having success and 146 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 2: continuing to push forward. Ye, Like that's it, that's oh, 147 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 2: that's just the best. 148 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. And I know leaving the booth that coach Mack 149 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: was devastated by the third and sixteen Mills to Colinsick 150 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: gave the Texans a seventeen yard completion in a first 151 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: down and it led to Matthew Wright, who was with 152 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: us a few weeks ago, making that game winning field goal, 153 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: and the Texans end up topping the Titans sixteen to thirteen. 154 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: But the hope is what you just said can carry 155 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: over Amy that the belief this team still has the 156 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: culture that is so strong. All these young players and 157 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: the big impact that they're having on this team, especially 158 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: their quarterback, can carry over not just against Seattle this weekend, 159 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: but for the duration of the season. And why does 160 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: that matter? It matters because the more success and the 161 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: more good moments that these young players have will lead 162 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: to better moments next year. And you just think of 163 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: a couple of examples in the National Football League in 164 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: recent memory. The Detroit Lions, I mean, for a long 165 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: time were one of the worst teams in the NFL 166 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: up until three four years ago, and now they're the 167 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: last couple of years they've been one of the best. 168 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: And if you go back to the end of the 169 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two season, the Lions were able to turn 170 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: things around with a team that was not going to 171 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: the playoffs, but they had a bunch of wins at 172 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 1: the back end of the season that really kind of 173 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: got their wheels turning and got them in motion for 174 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three or twenty twenty four, I guess I 175 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: should say, and they're still one of the best teams 176 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: in the league. The New England Patriots last year, Drake 177 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: May was going through some of this last year and 178 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: you see at the level he's playing at right now, 179 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: having those moments a success in a season where you're 180 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: not going to go to the playoffs. It's important for 181 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: the future. 182 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 2: It's important because you have to learn how to win 183 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: in this league. Yes, and it sounds like such a 184 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 2: stupid thing to say, because like, what do you mean 185 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 2: winning's the best part. But you've got to learn how 186 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: to finish a game. You've got to learn how to 187 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 2: string those big moments together. When your team and your 188 00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 2: starters especially are so young, you've got to learn how 189 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 2: to put all this stuff together. And so having those 190 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 2: moments of success and then stringing a couple moments of 191 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 2: success together, and then stringing quarters together, and halves and 192 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: then three quarters and then oh my gosh, we got 193 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 2: to win. All of that comes And we've been through 194 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,359 Speaker 2: a lot of that this season. I'm not saying those 195 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 2: are the things we still have to accomplish. We've done 196 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 2: a lot of those things. But this team is still 197 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 2: coming together. It's building that foundation, and then guess what 198 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 2: you do. You add more good players on top of 199 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 2: the good foundation that has learned what this looks like, 200 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 2: and you continue to build up. It's how you build 201 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 2: a house, and I know it again it seems pretty basic, 202 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 2: but you have to have a good foundation or your 203 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 2: house is gonna fall down. We don't need our houses 204 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 2: falling down, folks. Well, we need to build a strong 205 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 2: foundation and then put more good on top of that 206 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 2: to continue forward. 207 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: Well said, and I really believe there's a lot of 208 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: that that's going on right now. And that's still firmly 209 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: believe we're going to see some wins here in the 210 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: back half of the season now to peel the curtain back. 211 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: Amy has given me a hard time, and you know, 212 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: maybe as a rookie myself here with the Titans, you've 213 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: given me a hard time because I made a comment 214 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: about how hot it was to start the season, and 215 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: then a few weeks ago I made a comment about 216 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: how cold it was. Yeah, and you didn't take either 217 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: one of those comments well, even though I meant them 218 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: in love. 219 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,599 Speaker 2: I know, it's just I mean, you're inside, I'm outside 220 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: sort of. 221 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, now you're feeling all of the elements, no question, 222 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: but the window is open and Booth seven it is. 223 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: You love the weather yesterday. 224 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 2: Though, holy smokes, can we talk about the weather yesterday? 225 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 2: It was the perfect day. It was one of those 226 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 2: days where if you're standing in the sun, you are 227 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 2: equal parts warm and toasty, and then a cool breeze 228 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 2: would come by and you're like, oh, that feels nice too, 229 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 2: Like it was just the perfect day. And what's funny 230 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 2: is that my my resting football face is one of 231 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 2: what looks like frustration and anger. And it's just that 232 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 2: I'm thinking. 233 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: I've seen this face. I actually you're you're pretty much 234 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: like if one of the teams is at the north 235 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: twenty yard line. Uh huh, you were basically right in 236 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: my picture. Yeah, I've seen thinking Amy yeah on display. 237 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 2: And it's just it looks like dissatisfaction. I'm just trying 238 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 2: to figure it out. It's just working in there. But 239 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 2: I was grinning a lot on the sidelines and multiple 240 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 2: people came up and they were like, well, gosh, you 241 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 2: look happy today, and it was like, this is amazing 242 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 2: something about sunshine. It felt like we needed, like it 243 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 2: was so cold it was snowing here recently. It felt 244 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 2: like we needed just like a good Nashville fall day, 245 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 2: and that's exactly what we got. There is nothing better 246 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 2: than fallen Nashville. And I will fistfight anybody who tries 247 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 2: to tell me because it is so perfect, Fall in 248 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 2: Nashville is the absolute best. 249 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 3: Yes, it is. 250 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 2: It just is. 251 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 1: It's the colors here are just amazing and this time 252 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: of year is a lot of fun. So hopefully we 253 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: have some Titans wins that go with those fun moments 254 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: here in the near future. Just a reminder, the Seattle 255 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: Seahawks are coming to Nashville this Sunday to play the 256 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 1: Titans at twelve o'clock. Then the Jacksonville Jaguars are coming 257 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: the Sunday after Thanksgiving, So two more home games for 258 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: the Titans go on the road. And for some reason, 259 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: Amy Wells just doesn't want to come on the road, 260 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: and she's going to send Will Bowling to the Pinnacle 261 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: Sidelines in Cleveland, Ohio. 262 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 2: Yep, best of luck you, will Tootles.

This is our first Jags matchup of 265 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 2: the season, which is very exciting because I mean, the 266 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 2: Titans and Jags, the history there is just phenomenal. It's 267 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 2: like a college rivalry and I love it so much. 268 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 2: Have you heard the story of the time I fought 269 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 2: the Jacks player I have, yes, I was gonna say, 270 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 2: because if not, stay tuned in. 271 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: A couple weeks, I'll tell you the tale when you 272 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,959 Speaker 1: have two chances too.

It's a fine line between winning and 300 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: losing in the National Football League, and you have lived 301 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: it for a couple of decades, and unfortunately the last 302 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: couple of weeks have really been gut wrenching for the 303 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: Titans because you're right there against the Chargers and certainly 304 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: right there against the Texans. 305 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 4: It's never losing any game, regardless with the scores however 306 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 4: it comes out. You always look at it, and you 307 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 4: look at every game, every play throughout the game, you say, 308 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 4: where could have there been a difference? And you know, unfortunately, 309 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 4: if you don't play your best football week in and 310 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 4: week out, you know and make the plays when you 311 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 4: need to, that's what happens. So we got to do 312 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 4: a better job of, you know, finding a way to 313 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 4: make that one play to separate. 314 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 3: Us and to win football games. 315 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: But wouldn't you argue that you've seen improvement in that 316 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: regard if you look at all of the plays that 317 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: make up a game, from the Patriots game, to the 318 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: Colts game, to the Chargers to now with the Texans, 319 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't you argue that that gap is closer than it 320 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: was a few weeks ago. 321 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, you look at all the positives week in and 322 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 4: week out, but still it's about winning. Yeah, and you know, 323 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 4: you look at there, there's a lot of positives from 324 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 4: this game. I know we'll talk about them, but it's 325 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 4: it's just a matter of, you know, if finding that 326 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 4: what I could I just mentioned earlier, if finding a 327 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 4: way to make that play to say, okay, you won 328 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 4: the football game. That's the most important thing is finding 329 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 4: a way to do that. But yeah, they are you 330 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 4: know it. It's they're playing their tails off, they're playing 331 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 4: extremely hard. We just got to be more consistent for 332 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 4: four quarters. 333 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: Let's get to the positives here in just a moment 334 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: Before we do that, coach. Just a word on Calvin Ridley, 335 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: a guy that was voted a captain this offseason. I 336 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: was there on the stage at the captain's dinner when 337 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: we announced who the team captains were, and I happened 338 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: to be standing right next to him when they put 339 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: the C on his jersey. He had tears in his 340 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: eyes and I said, pretty powerful, and he says, the 341 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: first time I've ever been voted to a captain in 342 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: my life. And he was all in with this team 343 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: and obviously had some injuries and overcame those injuries in 344 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: order to rejoin the Titans. Makes a thirteen yard grab 345 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: on the first offensive play and unfortunately a broken leg 346 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 1: and his season's over. It's just that's the hardest part 347 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: of the league, isn't it. 348 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the tough part of this business. And having 349 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 4: spent a year in Jacksonville with them and no Calvin, 350 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 4: and know how hard he works, and you know what 351 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 4: he does day to day, year to year to be 352 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 4: successful in this league. It's it's just that he's worked 353 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 4: so hard to get back to where he was the 354 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 4: other day, and next thing you know, after one play, 355 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 4: he's out. And it's just that that's the tough part 356 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 4: of this that you look at it that you just 357 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 4: you feel for those players because they put so much 358 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 4: into this and they want to not only be successful themselves, 359 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 4: but they want to help the team. And that that's 360 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 4: the great thing about some of these leaders on this team. 361 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 4: And when you become a captain of what that means, 362 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 4: and it's a special honor to say on the captain 363 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 4: of an NFL team. 364 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: It is and we're wishing him the best. It's still 365 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: very much a member of the Tennessee Titans family and 366 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: everybody is pulling for him as he goes through this 367 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: rehab process. Coach without him on the field, and Jim 368 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: Dka was lost for a portion of the game as well. 369 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: How hard was it to go up against quite possibly 370 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: the best defense in the National Football League. 371 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 4: Well, it was a definite challenge. You know, we had 372 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 4: a big plan for Calvin coming in and what he 373 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 4: would do. And give the coaches credit for you know, 374 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 4: you got to go in there, you go to adjust 375 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 4: and the players of saying, okay, hey, this was something 376 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 4: maybe you know, I did not get that rep in practice. 377 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 4: But that's every week when there's certain things that come up, 378 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 4: and that's why you prepare and you go through all 379 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 4: the off season program, training camp, so when you do 380 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 4: get that opportunity, somebody comes comes in and fills in 381 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 4: for that guy, so they you know, we adjusted accordingly. 382 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 4: And then obviously you finished the game after you've lost 383 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 4: three receivers and give the players and the coaches a 384 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 4: ton of credit for you know, starting that ninety five 385 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 4: yard drive and you know they a lot of those 386 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 4: guys weren't in those positions. 387 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 1: No, they weren't. And Gunner Hilm had three big catches 388 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 1: on that last drive, chick Aconkoo obviously with the catch 389 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: of the day, Yeah, almost a forty yard or on 390 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: the third and long to put the Titans on the 391 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: doorstep before Van Jefferson from Brentwood, Tennessee right here in 392 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: this area scores the game tying touchdown. So to your point, 393 00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: a number of Titans stepped do. 394 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what this game is all about, making the 395 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 4: most of your opportunities and just adjusting on the fly. 396 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 4: And that's what you do from week to week or 397 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 4: game to game. You get out there and you lose one, 398 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 4: you lose two, you lose a third, and that's okay, 399 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 4: this is what we've got left and this is what 400 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 4: we've got to do, and you kind of you communicate 401 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 4: on the sideline and talk to him about how we're 402 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 4: going to do things, and then they understand, you know, 403 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,239 Speaker 4: as Bow calls plays and puts them in, there might 404 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 4: be changing somebody moving one of the guys that's an 405 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 4: outside guy. Just having those two guys flip and then 406 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 4: the two tight ends being there, Okay, you take this 407 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 4: spot and kind of just. 408 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 3: Go with it. And that's what they did. 409 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 4: And you know, like we've said all along here, it's 410 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 4: about players, and give those guys a ton of credit 411 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 4: of going and making the plays, especially when the game 412 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 4: was on the line. And you know, for Cam, you 413 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 4: know that that's a big one for him to say. 414 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 4: You're always looking at his growth and how he did 415 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,959 Speaker 4: and some of those balls that he you know, the 416 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 4: throws that he made are special. So very happy for 417 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 4: the way they executed at the end of the. 418 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: Game, and not only the throws. Coach, for weeks, you've 419 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: been talking about it publicly. You've been saying I want 420 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: to see him take off. He's been saying I need 421 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: to take off. I need to keep the chains moving, 422 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: and you were telling us last week when we visited 423 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: some of that's instinctual, that when you're born to make 424 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: the play with your arm all of the time, it's 425 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: hard for your mind to tell you take off and run. 426 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: But he did it three different times that I can 427 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: count of. He did it once in the third quarter, 428 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: and then two times on that last drive twenty yarder, 429 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: and then after the big throw he you know, we've 430 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: seen this a number of times a season where the 431 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: Titans offense has taken a sack and a goal to 432 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: go situation and instead of being sacked, he moved forward 433 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: and got inside the five yard line to give yourself 434 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: a good chance to score on the next play. 435 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you talk about growth at all positions 436 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 4: and how you're gonna get better as a young player 437 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 4: and especially as a rookie, and that that's something that 438 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 4: was kind of the next step. That was the great 439 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 4: thing to see in yesterday's game. And it's just you know, 440 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 4: he wants to drop back and throw the ball. You know, 441 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 4: he's not looking to run, but now he's kind of learning, 442 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 4: you know, early on and now he's kind of learning. 443 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 4: You talk about it, Nick talks about Bo talks about it. 444 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 4: You know, I've talked to him about it. It just's 445 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 4: there's a time and place for that. You're not saying 446 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 4: you're doing looking in to do it every time. You 447 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 4: don't just eliminate number one in the progression then take off. 448 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 4: But there's a there's a time and place for that, 449 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 4: and he took advantage of that in the game, which 450 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 4: was great. 451 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 3: There's some big plays for us. 452 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you hope that carries over obviously going into 453 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,719 Speaker 1: the Seattle game, which we will talk about. Coming up. 454 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: Home is at the forefront of all we do.

For all sixty minutes in 470 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: the game, it felt like that unit gave you a 471 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: chance to win the football game. 472 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's they did some really nice things throughout the game. 473 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 4: There's a couple of plays I think, but that's gonna 474 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 4: be any game you look at and you say, hey, 475 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 4: I wish we would done this differently, this and that. 476 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 3: You know, you hear it on the headsets, whether it's Dinard, 477 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 3: whether it's Bow. 478 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 4: You know, bone same thing as coordinators, there's the thing 479 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 4: you say, God, you wish you had, you know, put 480 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 4: them in a different position. 481 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 3: But it's about going out there and execute. 482 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 4: And I think, but you know, the spark that we 483 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 4: got from having Arden and Jeff back out there on 484 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 4: defense speaks for itself. Just to you know, when you 485 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 4: get break a huddle and from an offensive perspective out 486 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 4: there and you'll see those two guys out there, you know, 487 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 4: it's different with those two players, and especially the impact 488 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 4: Jeff has inside not only in you know, against in 489 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 4: passing situations, but in the run game. But very please 490 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 4: you know, both Cody and said we're playing downhill making 491 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 4: some plays, and so it's really good to see the 492 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 4: way they were playing. And we had some young guys, obviously, 493 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 4: Kevin and Marcus playing more, playing the most they've played 494 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 4: in the game this year. So there's a lot of positives, 495 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 4: but there's a couple of plays we wish we had back. 496 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: Kevin Winston and Marcus Harris both made some big time 497 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: plays in the game in the secondary. Both the rookies 498 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: that you're talking about. Cody Bartnet a sack on a 499 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: turnover on downs in the first drive of the game, 500 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: Arden Key two sacks in the game. He had four pressures, 501 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: and Jeff Simmons had three pressures, including a sack. This 502 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 1: is the fifth year he's at least had five sacks 503 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: in the season. And I want to mention all those guys. 504 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: But there's also the nose guard position, coach, which really 505 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: that's the position that doesn't get a lot of stats, 506 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: but how important is it to have to and Andre 507 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: Sweat and Jeff Simmons lining up next to each other. 508 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: We haven't really seen much of that before this game. 509 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 4: It's great to get him back together, get those two 510 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 4: guys out there. Those are two big men, and they 511 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 4: clog up the middle and make the backs or do 512 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 4: certain things and pushing the pocket inside. So it's just great. 513 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 4: Excuse me, it's great just have everybody back out there together. 514 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: And one last thing to mention, Joey Slye tied a 515 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: franchise record with his seventh fifty plus yard fueld goal 516 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,479 Speaker 1: of the season. Steven Goszkowski did that for the Titans 517 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty. So that's the most the Titans 518 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: have ever had in a season, is seven fifty plus 519 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: yard field goals, and obviously we have a long ways 520 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: to go. He certainly could break that record. What a 521 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: weapon once you cross the midfield. 522 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's nothing like having that confidence when you're on 523 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 4: an offense and say, okay, hey, we've got to get 524 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 4: to this spot. And that's going to change on a 525 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 4: week the week basis, depending on how's the win, what 526 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 4: direction you go on, all those things. But he's done 527 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 4: an outstanding job for us. 528 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: It's such a wild League coach that Matthew Wright, Yeah, 529 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: was with us a month ago. 530 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 3: We actually talked about it before the game. 531 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 4: I saw him, went and talked to him for a minute, 532 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 4: and it was just kind of funny talking to him 533 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 4: because I had asked him one day when he was 534 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 4: here how many teams he had been with his career, 535 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 4: and he's just going through the whole list of them 536 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 4: all just but it says a lot about him. You 537 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 4: know what other teams think about him When they need 538 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 4: somebody on a short notice, they call him in and 539 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 4: he does a good job for him. 540 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, he had the game winner for the Texans a 541 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: month after he was with the Titans. I think the 542 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: answer is twenty. By the way, I think there's been 543 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: twenty transactions in his professional career in the last six years. 544 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: It's sort of wild, all right. The Seattle Seahawks are 545 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: coming to town next coach seven to three to start 546 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: the season, and they just had a heartbreaking loss to 547 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams. Had a chance and ended up 548 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: missing the game winning field goal, losing a game by 549 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: two at the Rams. But so far, through the first 550 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: ten weeks of the season, they've been one of the 551 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: best teams in the league. 552 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 3: Why is that, Well, I think their offense is very explosive. 553 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 4: You look at what they've done offensively, know, Clint done 554 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 4: an outstanding job as the offensive coordinator there and obviously 555 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 4: bringing Sam and you know, learning the system on the 556 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 4: fly quickly before you know, obviously the offseason program, through 557 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 4: training camp and everything. But he's played very efficient and 558 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 4: they're just very explosive. And then defense, you know, Mike's 559 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 4: had always done a good job, you know, being the coordinator. 560 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 4: Obviously he's the head coach, but you know, calling the defenses, 561 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 4: doing everything. So it'll be a great challenge like every 562 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 4: week in the NFL. 563 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: Mike McDonald the head coach and defensive coordinator. And Sam 564 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: Darnold is a quarterback of the Seahawks who was with 565 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: the Vikings last year. He was in the forty nine 566 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: ers and the Panthers and the Jets before that. What 567 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: that's interesting to me that there's a couple of quarterbacks 568 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: in the league right now coach in twenty twenty five, 569 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold, that all of a sudden 570 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: have found their best after not it not working out 571 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: with teams in the past. 572 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 4: Well, you look at the any rookie wherever you are, 573 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 4: or any young player, because they obviously they were there 574 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 4: in those places for a number of years. You continue, 575 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 4: you you're always learning, and as you go week to 576 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 4: week or year to year in the seasons, you get 577 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 4: better and you learn more. And sometimes for players, I 578 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 4: mean I've been you know, since two thousand and in 579 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 4: a change of scenery sometimes good for players. Sometimes you 580 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 4: might be getting traded, or you might become a free 581 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 4: agent and go to a better team, or maybe you 582 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 4: might play in a system that better suits you. For 583 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 4: then there's a number of different reasons of why players. 584 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 4: You know that happens to certain players and quarterbacks in particular, 585 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 4: But there's nothing like the experience. And I think you 586 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 4: learn from each place. You know a couple more tricks 587 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 4: to the trade on how to do things. And you 588 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 4: know he's done. Sam has done a great job. 589 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: I know that it's been challenging this year and the 590 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: Titans organization has gone through that the last couple of years. 591 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: Can you just describe what the culture is like in 592 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: your locker room on the practice field at Nissan Stadium 593 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: right now? Because I've heard you say it off microphone 594 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: number of times that you really believe in the character 595 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: of this team. So could you just give everyone listening 596 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: what you think of the culture right now? 597 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 4: Well, I think that's critical for the success of any organization, 598 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 4: is it's the type of people you have in here. 599 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 4: And you know that's that's the frustrating part right now, 600 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 4: is that our records what it is, and we're we 601 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 4: hold each other accountable for that, but it's not for 602 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 4: a lack of work, ethic, attitude, preparation, all those things. 603 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 4: I think the guys do a great job the togetherness 604 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 4: of the football team. That was something we talked about 605 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 4: of sticking together there. There there's been the ups and downs, 606 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 4: and it's tough when your records like this, but the 607 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 4: only thing you can do is just keep working. And 608 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 4: that's exactly what the guys do. You know, the practices 609 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 4: each week you have you get out of there and 610 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 4: you say, you know, I can't ask you to do 611 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 4: much more, and just continue to work and keep going 612 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 4: and do what you do, and you know, stick together 613 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 4: and you know we're a team together. We're all in 614 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 4: this thing together, and we'll get out of this together. 615 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 4: So you know, I'm very happy with the cold true 616 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 4: that's here and the way the guys work and the 617 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 4: get way they interact, and really it's everybody in the organization. 618 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 4: It's not just the players and coaches, but it's everybody 619 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 4: in the organization, you know, coming together as one and 620 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 4: you know, you know, it's all about the players. So 621 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 4: in the entire organization, we got to do everything to 622 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 4: help these players. But I think it's a it's a 623 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 4: great culture here and they're working their tails off. 624 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: I know you spend Mondays in the National Football League 625 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: reflecting on what just happened before you move forward to 626 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: what's next. Yep, are you done with that with your team? 627 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: Is it Seahawks time or is there more to unpack? 628 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 3: Well, you've got it. 629 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 4: One more little thing I've got to do in the media, 630 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 4: and then it is. Then it is onto the Seahawks. 631 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: Onto the Seahawks Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, practicing a lot of 632 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: work done by the coaching staff on Tuesday before you 633 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: get to the game on Sunday. I know how badly 634 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: you want to win, coach. 635 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 4: That's what that's what it's all about, winning games. And 636 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 4: it's uh, sometimes you want to scream when things happen 637 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 4: and it doesn't work, but you just keep going. There's 638 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 4: only one way to get out of this is just 639 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 4: keep working, show up the next day and keep going, 640 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 4: and keep going and try to find a way to 641 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 4: win the next one. It doesn't matter what your record is. 642 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 4: You're going in this week. You're gonna prepare the same way. 643 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 4: You're gonna put all the hard work into it and 644 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 4: keep going. And that's the only way to do it. 645 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: Thank you, coach, We appreciate you. Thanks for having I'm 646 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: Taylor Zar, sir. This has been the OTP
