00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Titans Baby and Coach Mac podcast, presented

00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: through it. They've been protecting Tennesseeans for seventy five years.

5
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: Hello everybody, thank you for tuning in to the Titans

6
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: Amian Coach Mac podcast. I am Amy Wells. Coach Mac

7
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: of course is here as well. The Titans are coming

8
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: off of a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. They are

9
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: now seven and six this season. They're now three and

10
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: one in the division. If the playoffs started right this second,

11
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: the Titans would be the number four seed and would

12
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: still host the Cincinnati Bengals at Nissan Stadium. So that's

13
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: where we are right now. Mac. Your thoughts need to

14
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: win this game. I mean last week was a pretty

15
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: important game and we did not win it. Got to

16
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: flip and win this game. I mean, everything that they

17
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: want to do to win the division is still out

18
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: there in front of the Tennessee Titans. But you're gonna

19
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: start winning games pretty quick to make that happen. The

20
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: thing that has to happen, Amy, I mean, it's hard

21
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: in this league to beat your opponent. It's really hard

22
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: to beat your opponent, and also to beat the opponent

23
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: that yourself. And that's what happened the last game against Jacksonville.

24
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: Four turnovers, seven explosive plays. That gives you. That gives

25
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: you very little chance in the National Football League if

26
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: you have for if you commit four turnovers, you get

27
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: none back. And also you allow the opponent to have

28
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: seven explosive plays, you're not setting yourself up for success.

29
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: And you know after the first quarter and there was

30
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: not much success. Well, Mac, I feel like we need

31
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: to talk about some of this stuff, but I do

32
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: not want to dwell on that game because we've turned

33
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: the page here. We are moving on to the Los

34
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: Angeles Chargers, and we're going to talk about that in

35
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: a minute. But I feel like there are some areas

36
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: that the Titans are addressing this week, and I feel

37
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: like maybe we should run through those and why they're

38
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: so important to this Titans team. All Right, So the

39
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: first one is something that you mentioned already. Turnovers. The

40
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: Titans had four, they lost three. Why is this happening? Mac?

41
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: It feels like a somewhat recent problem that the Titans

42
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: are struggling with some of these fumbles and drops and

43
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: just turnovers as a whole. Well, they're all different. First one,

44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: it was a strip sack from the blind side of

45
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback. We were chipping on him and didn't get

46
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: him blocked, and so Ryan Tannehill is stepping up to

47
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: read his progressions downfield, had no ideas coming behind him.

48
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: So that was on the chipper and the and the

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: and the tackle. You know, they didn't block them. Man.

50
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: The interception, it was a it was a really bad

51
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: miscommunication between the quarterback and NWI on a steam route

52
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: that was either supposed to convert to a post or

53
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: was supposed to be thrown over the top of the safety.

54
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't you know that the receiver never looked for it,

55
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: So clearly there was a a bad communication gap there

56
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: and through it right to the safety. Derrick Henry's phone

57
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: bult was. I mean, he was just running like Derrick Henry,

58
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: same foot, same shoulder, put his shoulder down and was running,

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: ran through a guy and then was spinning to get

60
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: some more space. And then a pretty good hit came

61
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: in on the ball and it came out and popped

62
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: right to the defender and So those types of things,

63
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: I mean, when they happen, doesn't really matter why they happen.

64
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: They happen. You've got to protect the ball when you

65
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: have it. And then the Titans have not been able

66
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: to force any turnovers as of late, and that goes

67
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: directly to the fact that we haven't been able to

68
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: affect the quarterback much because we don't have her, dudes,

69
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: And that's just it. I mean, Jeffrey Simmons is out

70
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: there playing as hard as he can. He's not all

71
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: of Jeffrey Simmons right now. You know, we've got guys

72
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: that are filling in. We missed Denico Autry being out

73
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: there there. I mean, there's a lot of reasons, but

74
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: on game day, you just got to find a way,

75
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: and we could not find a way. But we hurt

76
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: ourselves a lot in that ball game, especially a second

77
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: third quarters when it comes to creating takeaways. Is there

78
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: anything that you can do as a coach to help

79
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: your team get over that hump? No, No, you've got

80
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: You've got to affect the quarterback. The quarterback has clean

81
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: spaces either in the cylinder or outside of the cylinder.

82
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: If he's clean, it's hard, you know, to force any

83
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: turnovers because he's got he's got a clear view for throws.

84
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: We you know, early on in the season, I mean

85
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: we were the number one rush team in the league

86
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: with four people, and we were affecting the quarterback and

87
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: then we were getting turnovers. We haven't done that as

88
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: of late, and so one is a direct result of

89
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: the other. Another thing that I wanted to touch on

90
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: a little bit, and I think this is a good

91
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: transition here. The defense did not get a ton of

92
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: pressure on Trevor Lawrence. That's what we were just talking about,

93
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: affecting the quarterback making those big plays, those moments that

94
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: really can be game changers. What can the Titans learn

95
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: from their matchup against the Jags that they can carry

96
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: over into their preparation for the Chargers. I mean that

97
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: knew what Trevor Lawrence was in. That offense was going in.

98
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna see the same offense this weekend in Inglewood. There.

99
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: It's so far. I mean, you're gonna see the exact

100
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: same thing with a young, mobile quarterback. This quarterback we're

101
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: getting ready to play, and I know we're gonna give

102
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of scattering report going on, but he

103
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: actually is better on the move than Trevor Lawrence is,

104
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: and so I mean he's been doing it. So we're

105
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: gonna have to affect him and don't give him, don't

106
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: give him clear views. And if the ball comes out quick,

107
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: you've got to be able to spot tackle. They were

108
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: doing a decent job of spot tackling early in the game,

109
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: but then too much time to throw and the explosives

110
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: started going over their head. Is there something to be

111
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: said for guys just wearing down after week after week

112
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: after week of facing these quarterbacks that are able to

113
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: really extend plays and make things happen. No, Well, it's

114
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: with this football team. It's the fact that you've got

115
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: you're just threadbare with with who you're playing with. That's

116
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: the thing. I mean, that's exactly it. I mean, you

117
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: know people don't want to address it. I address it

118
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: because I know I know what it is. You know

119
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: that you're not playing with your real dudes. And plus

120
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: it's hard bringing guys in on Monday and Tuesday and

121
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: coaching them up Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, walking through on Saturday,

122
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: and then not only you're not you're not doing that

123
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: with guys that are just playing a few snaps on

124
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: special teams. You're doing that with guys that are playing

125
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: forty and fifty snaps on defense. Let's switch over to

126
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball. Something that's a point

127
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: of emphasis is keeping Ryan Tannehill upright and healthy. Sacks

128
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: have been a big issue recently. He's been sacked twenty

129
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: nine times this season, ten sacks in the last two games.

130
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: Why is this becoming a bigger problem now? But because

131
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: you don't have it. The score is separated so big

132
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: that you have to throw to catch up. And when

133
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: the score is separated that big. Take it from a

134
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: lifetime defensive coach as called defenses for a long time

135
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: in this league. If I know you have to throw it,

136
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: I can go get your quarterback because I'm not worried

137
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: about the run. Derrick Henry had what ninety two yards

138
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: in the first quarter? Score gets separated by three scores.

139
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: Amy all of a sudden, you're on your left foot

140
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: offensively and defensively. Their game plan completely shifts. Now they've

141
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: got guys in track stances, pin their ears back, and

142
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: they're just running waves at them at the quarterback. That's

143
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: not a good that's not a good space to be

144
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: in so this is bigger than just the offensive line.

145
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: Absolutely it is. I mean, it's separation of score. I mean,

146
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: and the separation of score is what the problem is.

147
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: Early on in the ball game, we're running the football

148
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: very well. I did a feature at the beginning of

149
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: the week, you know, for Beneath the Surface for Microsoft.

150
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: There are some nice holes we were running through early on.

151
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: The play action game was going. But once the score

152
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: gets separated, then you're not only fighting the score, you're

153
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: fighting the clock and to catch up. You're not gonna

154
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: You're not gonna catch up three plus scores down by

155
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: running the ball. Let's talk about the run game a

156
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: little bit. As you mentioned, Derrick Henry really hot in

157
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,239
Speaker 1: the first quarter of that game, and then we didn't

158
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: see him too much anymore. What can the Titans do

159
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: to help capitalize on the momentum of a great start,

160
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: especially within the run game, which is such a such

161
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: an important part of this Titans offense. Don't turn it over.

162
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: Don't turn it over. And that's where it all starts,

163
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: when he turn it over and the scorer starts getting separated.

164
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: Jacksonville had two easy scores where they got the ball,

165
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: and so you turn it over. All of a sudden,

166
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: your run game, your run game is working when the

167
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: defense has to play every snap fifty fifty. When a

168
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: defense can play one segment of your game, then your

169
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: run game has a real problem. So here's what I'm

170
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: learning mac throughout this little exercise. Every single one of

171
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: these things is interconnected. It all is. None of this

172
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: is happening in a vacuum. Correct. That's a that you are.

173
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: You assess that, correct, and you are helping our two

174
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: million listeners with that. Well, that's what I'm trying to do.

175
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: I'm here to help. So I guess my question is,

176
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: now that we understand all of these things are interconnected,

177
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: and one thing impacts another thing, which impacts another thing

178
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: on all sides of the ball, in all phases of

179
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: this game, what do you do If you're Mike Rabel

180
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: and you're sitting down and you're analyzing this big picture,

181
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,239
Speaker 1: knowing that all of these things are kind of impacting

182
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: each other, how do you start to untangle the knot

183
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: that you have here? Well, first of all, you can't

184
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: do anything about the injuries you have who you have,

185
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: that's the biggest issue to begin with. But within the game, itself.

186
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: Don't have self inflicted errors. Self inflicted errors when you're

187
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: struggling personnel wise anyway, or magnified, because then they just

188
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: start to cascade on one another. So don't turn it over,

189
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: don't have any unforced errors in there, and just play

190
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: your game. But when you start playing outside of your game,

191
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: what happens is is then you start reaching for things

192
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: and they're not going to be there. Because, as I

193
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: say again, once an opponent has you in that position,

194
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: they've got the upper hand. Things have to go really

195
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: well for you at that point and the only thing

196
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: that really helps you then is to get a huge

197
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: explosive play for a touchdown, get a takeaway for a touchdown,

198
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: block a punt, do something, you know, to flip the

199
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: field a little bit. I mean, we had that feel

200
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: flipped really good when Derrick Henry was pounding the ball

201
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: in the first quarter. But all of a sudden, you

202
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: give up three scores. Now it's a different world. One

203
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: more thing I want to touch down is the importance

204
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: of punting for the Tennessee Titans. It's been a point

205
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: of emphasis for Mike Vrabel for a couple of weeks

206
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: talking about Ryan Stonehouse's punts and improving hang time and

207
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: some different things like that. What did you notice on

208
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: Sunday he did a better job. He did a better

209
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: job on Sunday. The week before it was not a

210
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: good job the week before. Seven punts, four of them

211
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: not high enough there in Philly. I mean he was

212
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: kicking line drives in Philly that they were returning to

213
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: the plus forty plus forty three really really quick. It

214
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: was much better, much better. What I would like to

215
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: have happened is the offense make enough first downs that

216
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to punt so many times. Yes, yeah,

217
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: that would be nice. It's another interconnection there. You go,

218
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: see it all ties together. Does it matter that we'll

219
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: be playing indoors, mostly indoors against the Chargers, SOFI is

220
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: not entirely indoors by my standards, but indoors. Nonetheless, it

221
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: won't be bad weather. Well, no, it won't be bad weather.

222
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: We're in southern California. It won't be bad weather. And

223
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: it's not it's covered, but it's not indoors. Yeah, it's

224
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: like playing in your patio. It's like playing in a pavilion.

225
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: It's a pavilion. You're playing in a pavilion, A giant pavilion,

226
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: a five billion dollar pavilion. But that's what you're playing

227
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: in a five billion pavilion, five billion pavilion, all right.

228
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: I had the opportunity to chat with Ryan Stonehouse, not

229
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: at all about pavilions or sofa even, but we had

230
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: the chance to talk about a couple of things and

231
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: his punting style, which I think you'll find very interesting.

232
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: So here is do you win the job in training camp?

233
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: Since then, you've been incredibly successful. The first start of

234
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 1: your career has been really strong. Are you surprised by

235
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: the success that you've had so early? It's a cumbination

236
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: of hard work and just kind of like, you know,

237
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: trusting in my ability a lot, and you know, the

238
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: offseason work that I have done. I think that it's

239
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: not as surprising to me just because of that. Um.

240
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: I feel like that I've, you know, transitioned from college

241
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: and the last season that I had and kind of

242
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: wanted to have some things to improve on. What were

243
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: some of those things that you wanted to be intentional

244
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: about improving right out of college. Yeah, I think my consistency.

245
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: I really wanted to turn over a lot of balls. Um,

246
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: I really wanted to increase my hang time. Um, that

247
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: was one of the things in Calle that that I

248
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: was trying to strive for every year, and that last

249
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: year I kind of had a little bit more than

250
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: I have in the past, so I really wanted to

251
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,599
Speaker 1: improve that. You're the first punter in NFL history to

252
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: have three consecutive games where you average more than fifty

253
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: five yards per punt, So I would say it's working.

254
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: I mean, these are huge numbers that you're putting up.

255
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: Have you stopped for a minute to kind of consider

256
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: the magnitude of what you've been able to accomplish in

257
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: just the first part of your career. I think the

258
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: main thing that, especially with this season being a lot

259
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: longer than college, it's like staying with what you've been

260
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: doing and just being consistent weekend and week out. And

261
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: I feel like that's where my concentration's kind of been

262
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: on your drop. The way that you dropped the ball

263
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: to kick it is different than what other punters do.

264
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: Explain that. Yeah, So the underhand job started with my

265
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: dad my uncle. They basically taught a lot of their

266
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: guys when they ran camps how to do it. The

267
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: guy that taught them was Ray Pelfrey and Reno, and

268
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: it kind of just stuck. When they would teach it,

269
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: they just kind of explained that, hey, this is how

270
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: we do it, and if it's comfortable to you do it.

271
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: And so when I was learning to punt, it just

272
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: was something that was natural and I've kept it. Everyone

273
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: talks about your power. You are an incredibly powerful punter,

274
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: but you're not the tallest guy. Where does that power

275
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 1: come from? Finding that, like quick twitch muscle was kind

276
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: of something that's helped me in all the sports I've

277
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: ever played. In football, I really when when I was younger,

278
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: I trained a lot into a it was like a

279
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: tackling bag, basically kicking a tackling bag. I know that

280
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: sounds funny, but it I truly think that that helped

281
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: me a lot, and I think that that's where the

282
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: power has really come from, just being quick to the football.

283
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: When did you realize that you had the ability to

284
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: kick stuff really far? I really didn't know that I

285
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: had that ability until about my senior year high school

286
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: that I kind of was able to punt the ball

287
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: decently far. And I think into college I realized it

288
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: a little bit more. My sophomore year of college. You're

289
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: a rookie, but nothing about you, the way you handle yourself,

290
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: the way that you perform on the field, says rookie

291
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: to anybody. Where does that confidence come from? I think

292
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: I think it's just trust. You know, I trust my ability,

293
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: I trust the work that I put in. Um. You

294
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: know a lot of people all talk about why I

295
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: put in all this work and this and that, and

296
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: some people don't truly believe that they did put in

297
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: that work. I do feel like I've put in the

298
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: work and I'll continue to put in the work. And

299
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: I think that that's what having something to look forward

300
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: to to improve on. It's the confidence of like, hey,

301
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: I did this, but it could be better. And so

302
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: I think that that's something that's kind of helped me

303
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: throughout my entire career. Right Mac, This guy works really

304
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: hard at punting, well he does, and I really like

305
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: I like this young player. I really do, And there

306
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: was a lot to learn as a rookie at any position.

307
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: Punting is the same thing punting in the National Football League.

308
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: Amy is an art. It's an art. It's like a

309
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: professional golfer. It's not just get out there. It as

310
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: far as you can, and it's not you know, I mean,

311
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot to it, and there's a lot of

312
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: nuances that that rookie potters have to learn in this league,

313
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: and the ones that learn it the quickest are the

314
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: ones that stay around. His leg talent is second to none,

315
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: second to none, and he does. He works extremely hard

316
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: at it, and I'm glad he's here. I'm glad he's

317
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: our putter. He's got the right kind of mine mindset

318
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: and he's got he's got real leg talent, and he's

319
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: worked on the nuances of it. Yeah, he absolutely has.

320
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: Speaking of nuances, the tenseie Titans are going to Los Angeles,

321
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: which is a terrible transition, but we're gonna keep going

322
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: with that because we are going to Los Angeles. We're

323
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: going to take on the Chargers, and I think we

324
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: need to talk about this game. We need to preview

325
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: this matchup a little bit. You're ready, sure, all right?

326
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert is who you have to start with, their quarterback,

327
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: who has been playing phenomenal football as of late. What

328
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: stands out to you about the way that he's playing

329
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: right now? Best quarterback on the move in the league,

330
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: best quarterback on the move, which means he's accurate. I mean,

331
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: he's the engine for this thing. This is a franchise quarterback.

332
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,479
Speaker 1: He and the quarterback we played last week, or young

333
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that are franchise quarterbacks. Trevor Lawrence is forming into

334
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: one because he had no rookie season because he had

335
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: dysfunction junction. Okay, but Herbert has been in a nice

336
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: situation since he started, and really especially the last five weeks,

337
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: he has really been spot on. I mean you start

338
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: looking at his completion percentage, start looking especially outside of

339
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: the pocket. He's the best in the league numbers wise.

340
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: Outside of the pocket, he under he's got a lot

341
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: of poise. He had poise coming in. This is a

342
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: is a he's a very very mature young quarterback. I mean,

343
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: this guy's the real deal. He's surrounded by a bunch

344
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: of weapons, which is part of what is making him

345
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: so successful. Who have the receivers? Do the Titans really

346
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: need to pay attention to this Sunday? Well, they got

347
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,479
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. Is their go guy. He's there. He's their

348
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: big play, explosive guy, and he's someone combat catch guy.

349
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: He's their go guy. He's a vertical guy, Keenan Allen

350
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: is a possession guy, really really nuanced. Uh, you know receiver, doesn't.

351
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy has been a good receiver since

352
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: he's been in the league. Uh. Mike Keith told me

353
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: today at practice, and I didn't know it. Mike Keith

354
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: always has nuggets. Uh. Keenan Allen signed with Alabama as

355
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: a safety and then switched to California so he could

356
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: be a receiver. And so you know, so you know

357
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: he's an athlete, but he's a really really good possession receiver.

358
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: So this guy can run all the routes that he

359
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: needs to run. And again when the quarterback has got

360
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: free free grass back there that he's working with. Uh,

361
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: these guys knew how to get open. Austin Ekeler there

362
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: they're running back as ninety three catches. Uh. He is

363
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: a real threat coming out of the backfield or lined

364
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: up as a pass receiver. And is a is a

365
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: is a good runner. Those three are really really solid

366
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: weapons for Justin and Herbert. Austin Eckler can basically do

367
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: anything right. He can. He can, he's a little he's

368
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: he's a little bit like McCaffrey, you know, in In

369
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: you know, that kind of that kind of dude that

370
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: can do it, can do it both. But he's really

371
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: a good receiver. Defensively, what do the Chargers run primarily

372
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: and why are they so good at it? Well, there

373
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: are four three and they got four four down people

374
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: that can rush and and that's a big plus. Now

375
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: Bosa hasn't played. I don't think he'll play this weekend,

376
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: which you know is a plus. But but there, their

377
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: front four is the strength of their defense. The tranquil

378
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: kid that plays uh linebacker is a is a really

379
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: really good player. Uh And to me, you know what,

380
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: what they've been able to do defensively, they have been

381
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: able to play to the strengths of their offense. So

382
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: their offense gets score separation for him pretty good. Then

383
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: they do a nice job of getting after you with

384
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: four people. And then when you can get after people

385
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: with four, you only have five eligible. Do a little

386
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: math with coach Mike. You got five eligible, you got

387
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: seven to cover, you got four over three, three over

388
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: two advantage defense. Wow, those a lot of numbers right

389
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: in a row. The Chargers have dealt with a lot

390
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: of injuries to their personnel um similar to the time Titans.

391
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: Maybe not as aggressively as the Titans, but they've had

392
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: some injuries as well, but their defense is still finding

393
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: a way to be disruptive. What does that say about

394
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: the depth that they have. They got decent death. But

395
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: the reason they could be disruptive is is because they

396
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: have score separation. They have score separation. They don't have

397
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: to play the run in the past fifty fifty. When

398
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: the game starts, everything is fifty fifty. That's what you

399
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: like to do is keep the game like that until

400
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: it separates in your favor. That's the biggest reason, especially

401
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: lately when they've been on a winning streak, they were

402
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: they had their down cycle early in the season. Now

403
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: they're on their up cycle. And the reason is is

404
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: because their their offense has got They've got Williams back,

405
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: They've got Keenan Allen back, Austin Eckler's kind of been

406
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 1: holding the fort down when those two were gone, and

407
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 1: now their offense is ginning on all cylinders, and so

408
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: their defense can play the pass. What do the Titans

409
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,959
Speaker 1: need to do to get a victory in Los Angeles?

410
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: Let's start with not four tornovers. Okay, that's a good place.

411
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: That's a real good place to start. Let's start with

412
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: that because that's important. You know, you're gonna be on

413
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: the road, You're going to be in a hustle environment.

414
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: And the Chargers right now are fighting for a playoff position.

415
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: They thought three weeks ago they were completely out of it.

416
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: Now they're back in it. I mean they're one game

417
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: out of it so in the AFC, so they are

418
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: fighting for the playoff position. So what you have to

419
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: be able to do is you have to be able

420
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 1: to play your game without giving the ball up to them.

421
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: You can't do that. And the other thing you can't

422
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: do early on when the game is still is still

423
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: knotted and they're running their offense. You've got to be

424
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: really really good tech and don't look seven explosives we

425
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: gave up last week. Can't have that happen. Cannot have

426
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: that happen out there in Inglewood. That's just a must,

427
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: all right. Well, the Titans are heading to La they

428
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: take on the Chargers at Sofi Stadium. The billion dollars pavilion,

Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, sudden started barking, and you

451
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: thought that there was an animal shelter around and I said, no,

452
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: that's a seal. Yeah. I had never seen a seal

453
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: in the wild and it was just right there at dinner.

454
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: It wasn't the wild. It was great, It wasn't the wild. Yeah,

455
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: so I'm excited to go back and do some more
