Visit 5 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: FBHP dot com with Amy Wells. I'm Mike Keith getting 6 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: ready for Steeler Sunday for the Tennessee Titans. Are you 7 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: ready to go to Pittsburgh and have it be thirty 8 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: five degrees and very windy? Yeah? I can handle wind 9 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: and cold. Precipitation is what pushes it over the edge 10 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: into not a good experience. So if it's just chilly 11 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: and a little windy, I can make that work. I 12 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: can handle that. So have you gotten down the three 13 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: rivers that form the confluence? Are you asking me if 14 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: I can name the rivers? Of course, it was always 15 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: Three Rivers Stadium right until twenty years ago they opened 16 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: Hines Field, which is much nicer than Three Rivers Stadium. 17 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: Was because three the ketchup bottles. Correct, Yes, when they 18 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: get in the red zone, yep. But the bottom line 19 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: was Three Rivers Stadiums one of the horrible old baseball 20 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: slash football dual use parks that we used to deal with. Yeah, 21 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: and so you know, because the Pirates played there and 22 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: the Steelers played there, and from our standpoint, it was 23 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 1: horrendous because the press box was so far back away 24 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: from the field due to the fact that it also 25 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: had to be set up for baseball as well. So 26 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: when they went to the football only stadium, they got 27 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: rid of three rivers stadium and the Pirates play at 28 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: PNC Park, nice baseball stadium. Yes, but the confluence of 29 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: the three rivers is still there. Can you name them? 30 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: Go ahead, Well, it's one deal Hio river. One is 31 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: the Ohio River, which two come together to form the 32 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: other one the Alleghany. The alleghany a. We're looking at 33 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: our pittsburgher sitting right here. I know. Well, okay, you're 34 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: now you're selling out that I'm cheating. I think the 35 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,399 Speaker 1: mononga Hala and the Ohio come together to form the Alleghany. 36 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: Is that correct? See here's the thing. I actually googled it. 37 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: I would have said the Mississippi because it's the only 38 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: river I know. The Mississippi is much further west. It 39 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: sure is, But I did google it, but I didn't 40 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: know how to say. Probably look up the Hala Monoga Hala. 41 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: I didn't live in Pennsylvania for very long in my life, 42 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: so I don't really know. I've never lived in Pennsylvania, 43 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: but I've visited their multiple times. Right. Going to play 44 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: against the Steelers is always very interesting. There's something different 45 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: in the air for Steelers Week, and I think it's 46 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: because you know what you're getting in a Steelers football game. 47 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: You're not getting fancy football, You're getting hardcore football. Okay, 48 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: so I was completely wrong. The Alleghany and then Anahela 49 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: get together to form the Ohio Ah. Yes, you know, 50 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: maybe one day I'll be on a game show. I'm 51 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: going to move on to another. Absolutely choked that away. No, 52 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: it's fine. You had all three rivers. So I have 53 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,679 Speaker 1: written here compliment Amy Wills. That's what I've written right here, 54 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: you do. It's the only thing on that page. It 55 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: is your Titans files on Tuesday Nights, Mike Free on 56 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: Jim Wyatt was outstanding and has gotten a ton of attention. 57 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: A lot of people people love Jim wide and so 58 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: they love to see nice things said about Jim Wytte 59 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: and that turned out to be very nice. Features. Yeah, 60 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: it's It's always fun to do something that's a little 61 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: bit different, talk about a co worker who you know 62 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: will just be horribly embarrassed that you did that. That 63 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: brings me a lot of joy. And for all the 64 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: kind of ribbing that we give old Jim Wyatt, he 65 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: does a tremendous job. He's been such an asset to 66 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: this organization and he's a very patient man to work 67 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: with us for all of these years and put up 68 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: with all of our funny, funny jokes. So he's an 69 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: easy guy to brag on. And I mean he works 70 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: his tail off man covering this team. There's not a 71 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: single thing that happens in this organization that Jim Wyatt 72 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: isn't covering or talking about or making sure that fans 73 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: know about. So it was fun to do. And those 74 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: Titans files are really fun because the ones that are 75 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: our favorites we just shove down people's throats on social media. 76 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: That's also nice too. If people have not seen the 77 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: Jim Titans files, how would they go about seeing that 78 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: it's on Tennessee Titans dot com. I also tweeted out 79 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: a link just a couple days ago, so at Titans 80 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: Amy Amie on Twitter people should follow you on Twitter. Yeah, sure, 81 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: all the ot people should immediately now pick up your 82 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: phone and follow Amy Wells on Twitter. Tell them how 83 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: ge at Titans Amy, Amie. I tweet about once a month, 84 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: so I'm not going to clog up your news feed. 85 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: I think it's an asset to my campaigns that you 86 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: don't do things like, oh, look, here's some bread I 87 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: just baked. No, or here's I mean, you gotta love 88 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: those folks who tell you every angle of their life 89 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: on Twitter. Isn't that really what Instagram is for? Yeah, 90 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: and I'm not great at over sharing on Instagram either, 91 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: But I think it's an asset that if I'm tweeting something, 92 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: it's because it's really important and I really care about that, 93 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: because otherwise, I mean, I'm not telling you about my day, 94 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: I'm not showing you my food, and I'm not live 95 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: tweeting sports events because I assume that you two are 96 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: watching the sports event and do not need my life. 97 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: So what you're saying is I'm the perfect person to 98 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: followup you care. I care, I tell you about the importance. Yes, 99 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: you're welcome. Okay, So we've been waiting really for a 100 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: good bit of the two thousand, twenty one season for 101 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans to get a break. Yes, they really 102 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: haven't gotten a lot of breaks, even though they're nine 103 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: and four. It's really amazing. They're nine and four and 104 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: they haven't gotten any breaks. It's been a struggle. I 105 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: have one. I have one that I believe is a 106 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: big break for the Tennessee Titans. We'll hit us. Mike 107 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: Jacksonville waited to fire urban Meyer until after the Titans 108 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: played the Jaguars. Yes, now, that's not a rip at 109 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: urban Meyer. Okay, I have logic behind this. You're immediately 110 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: you're laughing, you're driving in your car, you're on your treadmill, 111 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: you're on your peloton, you're you're having a chuckle right 112 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: now because you think Mike is taking a shot at 113 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: urban Meyer. Yes, that is not the case. All right, 114 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: here's what I believe the case to be. They fired 115 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: urban Meyer. I think the Jaguars will play great their 116 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: last four games under Daryl be that I think they 117 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: are going to be. I think they were unhappy. I 118 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: think all of the goofery, to use one of your words, 119 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: that was going on around them was driving them crazy. 120 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: I don't think they were totally crazy about Urban Meyer. 121 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: I'm not getting into that. This is not the Jacksonville podcast. 122 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: You can listen to that and figure all that out. 123 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: But I think they are gonna play loose and free, 124 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna let it rip in the 125 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: last four games. I would not want to be Houston 126 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: this Sunday. Nope, I would not want to be the 127 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: Jets on December twenty sixth. And I'll tell you what. 128 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're gonna win at New England on 129 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: January second or against Indianapolis at home on January ninth. 130 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: But I think the chances just went way up. That 131 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: team we saw last Sunday when they got down ten 132 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: to nothing, they were kind of like now. They played 133 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: hard and they have some good players. Their defense, as 134 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: everybody could see, is formidable. I still think Trevor Lawrence 135 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: is going to be a really good NFL player. But 136 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: I mean, what has James Robinson got to be feeling 137 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: like today? I mean, you've got how to think James Robinson, 138 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: who gets six carries in the last game, is going 139 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: to be like whoa, yeah, this just got better. You 140 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: have to imagine, and you see this often. This isn't 141 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: Jags specific that when there is a coaching change mid season, 142 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: a lot of times the team, the guys in the 143 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: locker room will rally together and want to carry out 144 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: the season and end on a good note. A lot 145 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: of time, there's been a lot of dysfunction in the 146 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: beginning part, and they're trying to salvage this thing because 147 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: guys are playing for their jobs. I mean, if for 148 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: nothing else, they are playing to get some good film 149 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: on tape to keep their jobs with whatever organization they're with. 150 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: So you see this across the NFL teams that have 151 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: some sort of a coaching change, typically you see some 152 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: sort of a rally right after that happens. In Jacksonville, 153 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: we've seen that they have some players that are good players. 154 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: You've seen that there has been some interesting choices made 155 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: in terms of person snell usage and play calling and 156 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: some of that kind of stuff. And if you believe 157 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: even a fraction of some of the stories that have 158 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: been coming out of that organization in the last couple 159 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: of weeks, things were a little odd. To put it, 160 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: just as small as mild here. I'm keeping it mild, 161 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: I mean, which is not my instinct. You want to go. 162 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: I want to ride. I know you do, but for 163 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: the sake of being an adult here, you have to 164 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: imagine that some things there were a little goofy, and 165 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: so I think you actually have to imagine. Yeah, I 166 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: think that there is probably a collective sense of oh 167 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: my gosh, it's over. I thought before the season that 168 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: Jacksonville would win seven or eight games this year. No, 169 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: that would be correct. They've won two. But I was 170 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: not crazy about the choice they made of the head 171 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: coach and the fact that they gave him total control 172 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: over the organization based on the fact that he had 173 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: not been a head coach in this league. Take away 174 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: anything else you think about Urban Meyer. I just think 175 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: that guys who come into this situation dealing with men 176 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: who have house payments and car payments and have children 177 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: and have all kinds of adult things that they do, 178 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: they don't really want to whistle blown at them. They 179 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 1: don't want to be treated a certain way. And you've 180 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: seen this over the years that it is a very 181 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: hard adjustment. Daryl Bevil, I don't know that he's going 182 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: to be their head coach. I don't have any idea 183 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: if that's gonna last. But he's an adult and he 184 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: has been in the league. He was the interim coach 185 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: in Detroit last year. I think you're going to see 186 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: them go higher, you know. I think a lot of 187 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: people are gonna want the Jacksonville job. Not good for 188 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: the Titans, but I think a lot of people are 189 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: gonna want the Jacksonville job because there's a quarterback there. Yea. 190 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: And when you have that done, I mean, here's the thing. 191 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: Whomever it is that's coming in there, you've got to 192 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 1: ride with that, and Trent Balky the GM and whomever 193 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: the new coach is. You've got to ride with the 194 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: fact that you have Trevor Lawrence. And so you use 195 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: the number one overall pick hunt a quarterback. Now, if 196 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: that doesn't work in four or five years, well you're 197 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: moving on anyway. Right. But it's it's a lot like 198 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: what John Robinson did when he took over the Titans. 199 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: I mean, think about this, So John Robinson takes over 200 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: the Titans in twenty sixteen, what's he got. He's got 201 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota. Yeah, Marcus Mariota, a quarterback that he vetted 202 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: when he was in Tampa. Tampa took Jameis Winston the 203 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 1: Titans took Marcus Mariota, so you've taken him second. Overall, 204 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,599 Speaker 1: everybody at that point feels like he's a real prospect. 205 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: You don't know exactly how it's going to devel, but 206 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: that's what you have. So what do you do You 207 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: build to help him. You signed Matt Castle as a 208 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 1: veteran quarterback, so all of a sudden, it's not Alex 209 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: Tanney and Zach Mettenberger, two guys who are peers. It's 210 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: a guy who's over thirty. He's an adult. He's been 211 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: in the league, he's seen it. So you help him there. 212 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: Then what else do you go get him? You go 213 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: get him a veteran center. Not only is it about protection, 214 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 1: but this is his dude, the backup quarterback in the 215 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: center are the quarterbacks guys. Ben Jones is a leader, 216 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: he's blocked in this league. He knows what to do, 217 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: but he's going to be on the same page with 218 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: a quarterback. So what else do you do? You go 219 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: out and you draft a right tackle. You draft Jack Conklin, 220 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: You move up, you get him a really good right tackle. 221 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: So now you have title to one and you have 222 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: Jack Conklin. Ye and by doing that too. You showed 223 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: faith in taitor to one in that situation because you 224 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: didn't take Laramy Tunsel. Title to One's game elevates dramatically. 225 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: Jack Coughlin in twenty sixteen as a rookie is the 226 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: best right tackle in football. Ye, he was an All 227 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: Pro in twenty sixteen. You trade for Dennis Kelly, another 228 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: offensive lineman. Quite frankly, Dennis Kelly was better than the 229 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: majority of the guys who started for you in twenty fifteen. 230 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: So what happens. Mariota gets hit a lot less in 231 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen than he did in twenty fifteen. In twenty fifteen, 232 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: he only played twelve games. He took thirty eight sacks, 233 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: three sacks a game, nineteen touchdowns, he threw ten interceptions. 234 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: In twenty sixteen, he played fifteen games. He got hurt 235 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville right at the end of December, broke his 236 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: leg YEP, which certainly I think had an impact on 237 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: what came after later, But that's another story. So twenty sixteen, 238 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: he only took twenty three sacks, which means his sack 239 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: because of the number of games he played. He went 240 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: from taking over three sacks a game to taking one 241 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: and a half sacks a game much better, much better, 242 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: twenty six touchdowns, nine interceptions, so protection wise he had 243 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: a lot of help. They went and got him a 244 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: veteran receiver, spent money in free agency, Rochard Matthews. Now 245 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: how it ended with Richard Matthews. You think, what are 246 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: you talk about? But Rochard Matthews in twenty sixteen caught 247 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: sixty five passes for nine hundred forty five yards and 248 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: sixteen touchdowns. Yeah. Do you know who his leading wide 249 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: receivers were the year before, Harry Douglas and Kendall Wright, 250 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: who each caught thirty six passes. Interesting, and then what else? 251 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: They get him a running game? Ye traded for DeMarco Murray. 252 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray led the AFC with one thousand, two hundred 253 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: and eighty seven yards rushing, and he also caught fifty 254 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: three passes for three hundred seventy seven yards and three touchdowns. 255 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: He led the AFC in total yards from scrimmage. You 256 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: build around your quarterback, build around your quarterback. Oh. The 257 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: other thing he did too, is he drafted Derrick Henry, 258 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: who carried a hundred ten times for four hundred ninety yards. 259 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: That four ninety as the backup would have almost led 260 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: the team the year before, when Antonio Andrews led the 261 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: team in twenty fifteen with five hundred twenty yards rushing. 262 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry turned out to be a good choice. He 263 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: turned out to be a good choice. But every year, 264 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: John Robinson went back and added pieces, trying to ensure 265 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: that Marcus Mariota was as successful as possible. The next year, 266 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: he drafted Corey Davis and John new Smith. Yep, you know, 267 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: he kept doing things. He extended Taylor to one. You know, 268 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: he brought in Roger Staffield. He added Adam Humphreys, who 269 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: didn't turn out to work out as well, but he's 270 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: the best slot receiver on the market. He had a 271 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: bunch of injuries unfortunately, right but all of the moves 272 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: were continually made. It's like, hey, we need another back 273 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: who can catch. We need a slot receiver, We need 274 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: a tight end who can help Delaney Walker. We need 275 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: all of these things. John Robinson kept plugging away making 276 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: it better for Marcus Mariota. He invested a fortune in 277 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: the offensive line with the extensions and with the draft 278 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: picks that he put into it. Yep. And now what 279 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: you're seeing ah, now you said it. You said it. 280 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: You hit my point. That is the reason. And now, yes, 281 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: even though Mariota didn't work out, the offense did. The 282 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: offense did so because of John's philosophy. When Ryan Tannehill 283 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: took over, Derek Henry's here, and receivers are here, and 284 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: the offensive line's in place, and John new Smith's playing 285 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: great and all of these things. You know, it wasn't 286 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: just one move that worked for five or six years. 287 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: Some moves didn't work. Some moves worked great, like drafting 288 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. It took three years, but they worked. But 289 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: the point was he kept filling into that hole. So 290 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: because he did that, and because he said, Okay, Mariota, 291 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna do everything we can to help you. We're 292 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 1: gonna build, we're gonna change coaches to help you. Yep, 293 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna change coaches because we don't think what Mike 294 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: Mularkey wants to do offensively is going to give you 295 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: the best chance. And that wasn't the only reason, but 296 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: the overriding reason was there was a difference in philosophy 297 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: there and it was obvious. So they hire Raybell, he 298 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: hires Matt Lafloor and then Arthur Smith comes in. But 299 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: by constantly pouring into this, the Titans created a situation 300 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: where Ryan Tannehill when he took over, could be successful. 301 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: And the six year process of John Robinson is six 302 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: straight winning seasons, right, it's paying off. So you pour 303 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: into your quarterback if you have one like the Titans 304 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: had in Marcus Mariota. And what the Jaguars have, I 305 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: think in a guy like Trevor Lawrence and it will 306 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: be fascinating to see if they do that, but it 307 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: sure has been a great philosophy for the Titans. Doesn't 308 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: mean you don't build your defense, doesn't mean you don't 309 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: do other things, but you're constantly saying, if we're gonna 310 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: get good, our world revolves around this, dude. Yeah, it's 311 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: it's an intentionality in all the moves to make. It's 312 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: having one specific guiding purpose that for us was making 313 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: this person successful, making sure this person absolutely And when 314 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: it became obvious that it wasn't gonna work, you make 315 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 1: a change. You make a change. But what had you done. 316 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 1: You had traded for another guy who fit all those 317 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: things that you were doing. It was like switching out 318 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: a race car driver in the middle of a race, 319 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: you switched out a race car driver from Mariota to Tannehill. 320 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: But it was a car that still fit annah Hill perfectly. 321 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,959 Speaker 1: That analogy is much better than the one that I 322 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: was going to use. I can't just going to ride 323 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: with you. I was gonna say it like, have you 324 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: seen the Santa Claus? Yes, when he falls off the roof, Yes, 325 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: it's Santa Claus the clause right, Not Santa Claus, the 326 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: person right, Ryan Tannahill's Tim Allen, He's the Santa Claus. 327 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: Now yours was better. It was better. But I like 328 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: that movie. It's a great movie, and I've been watching 329 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: a lot of holiday films. But it's the same idea. 330 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: Making the quarterback successful is the goal. Right. But I'll 331 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: say for everything John Robinson has done to me, that's 332 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: at the top of the list. John Robinson has had 333 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: such a great focus on this is what we got, 334 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: so we're going to keep at this instead of some 335 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: gms get there and they go, oh, well this hasn't worked, 336 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: and so now we're going to become this blow it 337 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: all up and start over. But it's like somebody deciding 338 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: to say in different genres I'm a country singer today, 339 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: I'm a pop singer. Tomorrow, I'm a gospel singer. I'm this. 340 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: I'm so instead of just saying, Okay, this is what 341 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: I think we need to do, let's stay focused on this. 342 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: It's like what he's done with culture too. He wants 343 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: guys that are professional. He wants a buster screen who 344 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: comes in and says, you know what, I am so 345 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: happy to be here. I'm gonna be early to every meeting. 346 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you what I can do. I'm playing 347 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: my butt off. I'm so glad to have a job. 348 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: Dennis Kelly, for whom he traded ye, was another great 349 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: example of just a true pro and by bringing in 350 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: these pros, the young guys see how to do it, 351 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: and suddenly you create a culture. I'll always say, I 352 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: don't know that Derrick Henry becomes what he is if 353 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: he doesn't have a chance to watch DeMarco Murray go 354 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: about it. I think that's true. We talk a lot 355 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: about John Robinson being a couple step ahead of the 356 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: rest of us, right He's always dealing in the now 357 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: and what situations present themselves and what he needs to 358 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: be working with in terms of personnel and that kind 359 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: of stuff. But John Robinson is also always playing that 360 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 1: long game. You're right. He's always got five moves down 361 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: the line in the back of his mind, and he's 362 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: always tinkering with things. And I think that that is 363 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: so impressive. And being able to do both to function 364 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: in the right now and also in the long term 365 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: simultaneously is what makes him such a good general manager well, 366 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: and that's why the Titans could do what they're doing 367 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: through this strange year that we talk about where they 368 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: haven't gotten any breaks. Right, John Robinson has been able 369 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: to keep this team afloat, along with Mike Vrabel and 370 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: the coaching staff, who have done just a tremendous job 371 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: of getting people ready to play football within hours. It 372 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: feels like within days of being a part of this team. 373 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: They've really been able to coach some guys up and 374 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: get them on the same page and send them out 375 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 1: and keep it moving. But John Robinson has been able 376 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: to cultivate a roster through just some insane conditions, and 377 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: that is so impressive. Thirteen guys have played in every game. Thirteen. 378 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: I'm going to list them for you, Yes, Denico Autry, Okay, 379 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: Kevin Byard yeah, Morgan Cox yes, Nick Desubnar yes, Matthias 380 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: Farley yes, Harold Landry yes, Elijah Molden really I know, yeah, 381 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: Michael Pruett yes, Jeffrey Simmons yes, Ryan Tannehill. That's ten. Yeah. 382 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: Three offensive linemen have started all thirteen games? Can you 383 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: name them? Questionbury? Questionburry is correct. Ben, he's also finished 384 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: all thirteen games. Do they have to finish? Finishing? But 385 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 1: I'm just throwing that in there. Ben Jones, he started 386 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: all thirteen and he has finished all thirteen, which is 387 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: pretty impressive. There's one more who, Roger Saffield, who were 388 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: not Roger Saffold has started. I know he started all 389 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: thirteen games. Now he has not finished four of them 390 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: because he's battled that neck shoulder thing, right. But to 391 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: Roger Saffold's credit, I mean to be able to be 392 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: out there, and you know, maybe he's going to be 393 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: ready to go at Pittsburgh. We'll have to wait and see. 394 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: That is very impressive. Watching some of those veteran guys 395 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: on the offensive line work this year has been an 396 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: incredible privilege just because of where I am on the 397 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: sidelines on Sundays, seeing the way that those guys huddle together, 398 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,719 Speaker 1: the way that they work and also the way that 399 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: they'll work through what is clearly pain. Right, Saffield is 400 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: a pro. Roger Saffield is a pro. I mean, Ben 401 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: Jones is a pro. I don't know how any of 402 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: his extremities are still attached to his body. Tail one 403 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: is a pro. I mean, these guys have been working 404 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: through clearly being very uncomfortable, and the way that they 405 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 1: choose to lead this team anyway is amazing to me. 406 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: Lwan has ten starts. He has one did not play. 407 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: Remember there was a game where he was dressed out 408 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: but he did not play. I think it was Los Angeles, 409 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: of not mistake, it was yes, And then he said 410 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: two games where he was inactive. Nate Davis has ten 411 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: starts and he's been inactive three times, all related to 412 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: a concussion. Right, But you know that group has battled 413 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: and they and they have battled, and there has not 414 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: been one time this year thirteen games that all five 415 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: of those guys have started and completed a game playing 416 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: every snap, which is crazy, which is crazy now, So 417 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: the numbers for them to kind of keep getting up 418 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: and coming back, it's pretty extraordinary. I mean, like we're 419 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: talking about Saffold and what he's been through and continues 420 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 1: to go through. I mean, he's given it all he 421 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: has and hopefully he can continue to get better. No 422 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: one can ever accuse that group of guys of not 423 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: wanting it and not given everything for their team. I mean, 424 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: holy smokes, that's what you want in a football player 425 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: in my mind. All right, So you have watched Zach 426 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: Cunningham practice two times, I have what do you think? 427 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: I think? I'm excited. I'm excited. He's longer than I 428 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: thought he was. I don't know why he has Keith 429 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: Bullock he does, yeah, And I don't know why I 430 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: thought that he was squattier than what he is. But 431 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: he's a very long guy. I'm excited to kind of 432 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: see how they're working him into the mix. And I 433 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: mean he's still knew, so you've got some of that 434 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: new person getting acclimated, understanding the play called that kind 435 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: of thing because he's learning a brand new language. But 436 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see the ways that they're easing him 437 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,959 Speaker 1: in and some of the packages that they're using him in. 438 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: Very interesting, very interesting, indeed, very interesting, Yeah, very interesting 439 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: to see if he is involved, and if bud Dupree 440 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: is ready to fully come back off IR and be activated, 441 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: that would be a move the Titans would make on Saturday, right, 442 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: And so we'll just have to wait and see if 443 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 1: that's going to happen. But the thought of bud Dupree 444 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: going back to Pittsburgh after having missed as much time 445 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 1: as he has and being as frustrated as he's been, 446 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: oh yes, knowing that he desperately wants to play. I mean, 447 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: this guy loves the game, and Zach Cunningham is a 448 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: guy who loves the game. I mean they so fit 449 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 1: the motor quotient that this bunch has. Yeah, And the 450 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: thought of whether it be this week or a couple 451 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: of weeks down the line, having all of those pieces 452 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: in place for Shane Bowen to be able to really 453 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: mix and match and put him together and really get 454 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: some exciting production out of these guys, it makes me 455 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: a little shivory and excited. Remind you that we are 456 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: on the air, Amy Wells and Rhet Brian Titans Countdown 457 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: at eleven am Central on Sunday from Hines Field. Kickoff 458 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: is set for noon Central time. The Steelers are six 459 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: six and one they tie. They do. Sorry, guys, you 460 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,199 Speaker 1: think less of them because they have a time. I 461 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: mean I don't. I wasn't gonna set. I hate ties. 462 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: I hate them. I think they're stupid. I think they're 463 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: a waste of everybody's time. And I think that saying 464 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: six six and one sounds really goofy. But I mean, 465 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: it's not my team, it's not my business of the 466 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: Titans don't have any ties, thank god. So I would 467 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: have taken a time, I wouldn't have. We lost the game, 468 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: and I wouldn't. We would be nine three and one 469 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: right now, and we would have the number one seed 470 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 1: in the AFC. Yeah, I get it, and that's fine. 471 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: We can still get the number one seed in the 472 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: AFC and maintainer. I don't defy logic. I want to 473 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 1: maintain my dignity. No, I'm not a tire. You know what. 474 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: Time is a waste of time at the beginning of 475 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: the three hours and the end of the three hours. 476 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 1: But I would rather be I would rather be nine 477 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: three and one than nine and four. I would rather 478 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: have my pride. I have no pride, that is very clear, 479 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 1: but I do have But I do have a farm 480 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 1: Bureau Health plan. I'm a customer.
