This is coach Dave McGinnis from Titans Radio. 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:30.120 We're excited to have PSL founders with us for the 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:32.839 first time we've ever done an event in the Titans 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:36.360 locker room. We're here tonight to talk about the twenty 0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:45.560 twenty two Titans. A great thing. Give yourselves a hand. Yes, 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:49.440 and this is presented by SHIFT for the official Payment 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:54.800 Solutions partner of the Tennessee Titans. Schedule release has become 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:59.080 a major event when you were coaching, did you take 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.720 it this seriously? Yes, Okay, this is a big deal. 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:03.200 I mean it's a big deal for you as a 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.959 coach and a player, it really and for fans. I mean, 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.600 because you work all offseason, you put a group together 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.039 during the draft, you've got you've got a new group 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.560 that you're getting ready to bring together on the field. 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.760 You know, for the training camps. But you want to know, 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:18.400 you've got to know as a coach, so you can 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.240 start to prepare. And so this is this was always 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:23.200 a big deal, and it's it's getting to be a 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.040 bigger deal, which is great by me, Mike. It's a good, 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.040 good thing, all right. So we're ready to take a 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.959 look at it. Let's go game by game for the 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:35.600 twenty twenty two Titans schedule in the preseason, three games, 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:39.280 two of them are at home, and the Titans will 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:43.280 open in the preseason at Baltimore on August the eleventh 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.360 at six thirty, and then we'll come home to play 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:50.880 Tampa and Arizona in weeks two and three, the dates 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:55.520 and times to be determined. So again, Baltimore at Baltimore, 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:59.080 week one of the preseason Thursday, August the eleventh, then 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.880 home for Tampa and home for Arizona. Those are the 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:08.480 three preseason games. The regular season opener at Nissan Stadium 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:13.240 right here three twenty five Central time. The Titans will 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:23.600 open up against the New York Giants. Let's go, and 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:28.240 from there we are on the road to Buffalo Monday 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:32.880 Night football against the Bills. The Titans and Bills square 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:37.560 off for the fifth consecutive season, third consecutive year in primetime. 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:42.519 Coachback Buffalo will have had eleven days rest before this 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:47.320 game because they actually opened the regular season on September 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.840 eight at Sofi Stadium against the world champion Rams. They 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:52.080 have some of them to do, but you know what, 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:57.440 I don't care because we played them last year with 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:01.680 a sixteen day break and we had no practice and 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:03.720 we beat them. So you know what, how much that 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.360 bothers me? Close me, close your eyes, tell me what 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:08.960 you see. Nothing, nothing is very nine. Let's go to 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:13.000 the last game in the month of September. September twenty fifth, 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.040 we're back here at Nieside Stadium. We say hello to 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.160 Las Vegas, who used to be Oakland, and then they 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.399 were Los Angeles, and then they were Oakland and still 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:26.800 the Raiders. Noon starts at Nieside Stadium. The Titans play 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.840 host to the Raiders. They traveled to Nashville for the 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:34.119 first time since twenty seventeen. Let's go division to begin October. 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:38.240 Let's go up the road to Indianapolis and noons start. 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:43.400 Matt Ryan and the Colts hosting the Titans on October. 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:48.040 The seconds, Big, Big, Big, game. I mean, you've got 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:49.920 to be able to win your division to get in 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.040 the tournament. That's what we all want to get in 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.480 the tournament. This is a big game, first month of 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.480 the season. Everybody should be fresh and ready to go. 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.160 We know these people better than they know themselves. I 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.960 can't wait for this one. October ninth, Week five, the 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.600 Titans go to Washington for the first time since twenty 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:13.800 fourteen to play the Commanders. Kurson Wentz, their quarterback, Ron Rivera, 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.240 their head coach. Yes, I coach Ron for seven years 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.520 at the Chicago Bears. He's doing a nice job of 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.400 getting that thing turned around. As far as just for 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:25.039 the atmosphere in that locker room and within that organization. 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:27.479 Still doesn't matter. I want to beat him real bad. 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:31.400 All right, good Week six? Maybe a bit of a surprise. 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:36.600 The Titans are off a bye weekend. In Week six. 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.799 We'll talk more about this. So coming off the bye, 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:45.800 who did the Titans get Indianapolis again? Here at Nside Stadium? 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.840 Breaks your heart to play the Colts coming off a bye, right, Coach, Well, 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.240 this is a second year in a row we've sandwiched 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.640 the Colts, and sandwich games are always interesting. This is 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.200 big because now all of a sudden, you have got 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.680 a chance to go up in the Division two old 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.120 beat them, beat them twice within three weeks. This is 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.599 a nice thing. Titans are done with the Colts on 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:10.640 October twenty third, Tennessee staying in the division. On October 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.400 the thirtieth, traveling to Houston, it is a three oh 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:18.200 five start. Their new head coaches, Lovey Smith. Yeah, Lovey Smith, 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.640 and Lovey will do a good job with this team. Again. 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:22.800 Now we're into it. Now we're looked at all of 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.920 a sudden, guys, here we are, and now we've had 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.480 three division games, three division games this early. You've got 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.599 a chance to jump start this thing pretty quick. October 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:35.360 is over. Let's go to November. Let's go to primetime. 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:39.520 Let's go to Kansas City Sunday night football. The Titans 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:46.919 in the Chiefs. Tennessee whipped KC last year twenty seven 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.640 to three. This will be the Titans first trip back 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.840 to Arrowhead since the AFC Championship game in twenty nine. 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.880 It's always a great environment up there. And look, the 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.800 Titans want to be and are one of the top 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.680 is in the AFC. So are these people Let's go 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.400 up there and beat them so the whole nation can 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:08.320 see it. Another AFC West opponent on Sunday, November thirteenth, 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:13.599 here at Nissan Stadium, it's Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos. 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.839 Strange to say, isn't it. It's strange to say, but 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.000 this will be a very very interesting ball game because 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.120 Russell Wilson, of course, Josh McDaniel, new head coach up there. 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:23.360 This is going to be a very very interesting game. 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:28.000 All AFC games count a lot. Division games count twice. 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.240 AFC games count a lot. All right, let's go to 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:37.719 Thursday Night football November seventeenth. We're going to Lembo Field, 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.760 the Titans going to take on the Green Bay Packers 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:45.479 at seven fifteen. Short week for the Titans to get 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.320 ready for the Packers. Another great quarterback. But at this 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.200 time of the year, you know, in the middle of November, 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.280 you've pretty much got set what you're going to do. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.000 We you know, we were up there and last year 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.720 at the end of December, just a tag bit Nippi, Mike, 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.159 because a little bit cold up there. I can still 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.320 remember you driving the rent car, sliding all over the 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:05.159 place until I told you. How about this snow dial 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.200 It says, yeah, you're putting that on. We did a 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.120 lot better. We need to go beat them up there. 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.280 I'll remember to turn on the four wheel drive earlier. Good, 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.640 all right? At ten day break November twenty seventh, don't 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.680 have to say much about this one Nissan Stadium. There 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:22.440 we go Cincinnati, a noon start. Let's go to the 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:29.360 month of December. December fourth at Philadelphia, the Titans traveling 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.360 to Lincoln Financial Field for the third time in the 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:36.320 regular season, the first time in eight years. Eagles going 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.120 to be an interesting team. The Eagles are going to 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.960 be a very very interesting team this year. December fourth, 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:42.960 up there in Philly. You know, I was in the 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:44.840 NFC East for quite a while when I was with 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.040 the Cardinals. That can be an interesting place. Whetherwise the 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.400 beginning of December. We'll see what that is. Sunday, December 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:55.320 the eleventh. Who haven't we seen yet? Doug Peterson, the 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:59.160 former Philly coach, and the Jacksonville Jaguars. They're coming back, 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.760 and there we go. Now we are back into the division. 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:03.760 We all know how important it is to win your 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:07.520 division games. Got the Jaguars. Now, after we've already had 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.720 three early on. Last year, the Titans went to Sofi 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.080 Stadium and beat the Rams in Los Angeles. This year, 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.200 the Titans will go back to Sofi Stadium and try 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:22.320 to beat the Chargers. No good, A good trip. First 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.640 of all, it's a tremendous stadium, and I want us 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.040 to do just to the Chargers what we did to 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:31.200 the Rams. Exactly, pattern perfect. Okay. So the next weekend 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.080 is Christmas weekend. The majority of NFL games will be 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.800 on Saturday. The Titans have drawn one of those Saturday 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:42.239 games at Nissan Stadium, will play host to the Houston Texans. 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:46.920 Houston Texans again in the division, right before Christmas. What 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:50.360 a great Christmas present to beat the Texans here right 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:54.120 before Santa Claus comes. All right, So one Thursday night 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:58.240 game Green Bay. Then how about another Thursday night game 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:03.240 against the Dallas Cowboy. There we go. They't come in 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:09.400 here on December the twenty night. I guess we don't 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.280 really need to add much to that doing. No, I 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.360 love this. I love this so much. I love this 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.079 crowd too. They're right on cue. But this is this 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.200 is going to be a lot of fun, all right. 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:23.720 Then the regular season finale will be at Jacksonville, and 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:27.880 it'll either be January seventh or eight. It will be 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.560 at a time to be determined based on what's happening 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.560 during the season. Normally they set these in November. Sometimes 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.840 they'll let them go to December even before making the decision. 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.680 We'll see, well, you'll see. But it's a flex game. 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.400 It's it's a flex you know, for one of those 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.600 two days, which is fine, We'll just go down there 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:48.080 and beat Jacksonville. Doesn't matter what day, all right, Your 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.680 thoughts on the schedule coach matter first of all, as 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.320 a as a as a former coach. When you look 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.160 at it, you want to see where your open date is. 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.240 I like for our open date comes. And you got 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.800 to remember too, it's not just it's not just a 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.240 sixth week. You've already had your preseason two. So it's 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:04.959 a it's a it's a good time where you come there. 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.880 I also always looked at division games. We get a 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.719 chance to jump out ahead in our division early on. 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:14.480 We've got three division games when october's over. That's very 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:19.520 very important. I like that, and plus four national games. 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.840 Four national games. I mean that to me shows respect 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.960 for what the Titans are and it shows. It shows 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.240 to me that people in the league office recognize what 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:34.000 the Titans are. Right now, I love the National Games, Mike, 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.320 Let's talk about the opener with the Giants, because the 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.760 Giants obviously weren't very good last year. They have a 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:42.280 new coach in Brian day Boll. Their defensive coordinator is 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.600 Wink Martindale who used to be in Baltimore. They're gonna 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.959 have four months to get ready for the Titans with 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.840 a new coach and some new people who know the Titans. 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:53.960 That one makes me nervous. Yeah. Well, the thing about 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.040 day Ball is, you know it's coming from Buffalo, you 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:57.960 know what. You know what his offense is going to 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.640 look like. I've known Wink Martindale ever since he's been 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:01.880 in the league. I think he's been in the league 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:04.679 seventeen years. I've been in it about twice that so 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:06.559 I know Wink very well. You're gonna have to get 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.760 set for your blitzes against Wink Martindale. They're special teams, 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:14.000 special teams coach mcgay he's been there for five seasons, 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:17.000 so we're gonna have a lot of tape on these people. 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.360 That's important for your first game, Mike, you want relevant 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.679 tape so that you can get ready. They can do 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:25.280 whatever they want new, but they've got coaches that have 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:29.439 been in this league that have patterns already. These PSL founders, 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.560 many of them like to go to one or two 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.959 or three road games a year. What are the road 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.240 trips that you like on the Titan schedule for where 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.319 they fall? Kansas City is always cool. Kansas City is 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.240 a great, great environment. It's not very far. You know. 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:43.720 The last time we were there, we had a whole 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.160 caravan you know that came from Nashville down there. That's 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.840 very if you've never been. If you've never been to 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:53.280 Green Bay, let me just tell yet, sometimes that is 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.080 that's a bucket list trip. I was ten years at 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.560 the Bears, and believe me, it's a Green Bay for 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.600 just as it stands alone, is a cathedral to football. 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:03.920 It really is, you know, because Bears and the Packers 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.720 two original teams. If you've never experienced Green Bay, their 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.600 fans are tremendous. They understand the game, and plus it's 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.439 just such a cool place. And then when the Titans 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.920 would went up there, just think you can come back 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.439 and say I've been I've been to Lambeau and we 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.679 beat the Packers, and to go to SOFI in December 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.600 would be a great thing to see Titans Chargers. If 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.240 you haven't never been to Sofi, I mean, it's it's 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.199 I was out there when all this was going on, 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.760 you know, when we first moved the team, the rams 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.839 out there. It is spectacular. It is spectacular. To give 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.280 you a little bit of perspective. The same group that 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:42.240 built Minnesota Stadium, that built Dallas' Stadium, built this stadium. 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:45.320 You can take Jerry Stadium, which he's very proud of. Right, 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:49.079 everybody's seen Jerry World and can fit it inside so far. 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:53.240 That's how big this place is. It's massive. It's impressive. 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.040 All right. We're gonna look at the schedule now through 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.319 the months of the season. We obviously start in September 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:04.400 three games, one primetime game at Buffalo, but two home 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.960 games overall. So that's the way September gets started for 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:11.960 the Titans. Giants at home at Buffalo, Las Vegas, two 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:15.560 home games. Remember too, the Titans only have eight regular 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:19.960 season home games this season because the seventeenth game is 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.680 Green Bay, which means this is the year you play 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.000 nine road games to October. We go the buye is 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:30.840 in week six and so road game at Indianapolis, road 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.600 game at Washington after the bye home for Indie at Houston. 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:38.000 Three road games in that month. Let's go to November. Now, 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:41.480 this is amazing because if you look at Kansas City, 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:45.920 they have Patrick Mahomes, Denver has Russell Wilson, Green Bay 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:50.520 has Aaron Rodgers, Cincinnati has Joe Burrow. That's some quarterbacks. 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.960 That is some quarterbacks. Of course, you guys saw the 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.640 great transformation this defense made last year that they are 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:01.200 going to even be more transfer formed this year. But 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:05.040 this right here is a challenge defensively because of these quarterbacks. 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:08.880 As Mike said, all right, December is an extremely busy 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:14.920 overall month. Five games beginning with Philadelphia in week thirteen, 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:20.200 Jacksonville at home, the Chargers in Los Angeles, and then 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:24.440 home dates two games within five days, Houston and Dallas. 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:26.760 It's a big, big month. This is a big month, 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.760 and you sit it there as a coach when you 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.520 look at it, two games in five days, and you 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.200 start looking at the people that you're playing. You know, 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:38.720 Philadelphia is an unfamiliar opponent. You're very, very familiar with 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:42.680 Jacksonville and Houston Chargers again we know them, but we 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.120 don't know him. And then Dallas. It's always fun to 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.280 play Dallas, but this is a big five game stretch. 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:51.200 And then in January, just one game. Not sure whether 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.600 it will be the seventh or the eighth, but it 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:58.480 is Week eighteen at Jacksonville. There you go, there you go. 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.160 All right. We want to take a look at the 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.840 bye week. It is in week six this year, and 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:06.200 we take a look at bye weeks through the Mike 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.440 Vrabel era, and it's been really all over the road. 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.640 In his first season twenty eighteen, we had a bye 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.160 right after we went to London, which is in Week 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:21.480 eight twenty nineteen. Normal the week eleven, twenty twenty. Due 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:24.240 to COVID, the Titans had to use their buy in 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.680 week four, it would have been a week seven. By 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.160 last year, we had to wait all the way until 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:35.360 week thirteen. This year, week six in the regular season, 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:40.560 Mike vrabel teams are four and oh after buy games. 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:44.880 And remember the opponent after this year's bye is Indianapolis. 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.680 Why are they so good after buys? Because he does 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.920 such a great job with his altered schedules. That's why 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:54.320 the four national games that we have. He's tremendous with 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.880 altered schedules. He puts a lot of thought into it. 0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:01.280 Plus he understands the players. He gets from a lot 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.400 of ways. That's important for a coach to understand where 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.320 his players are mentally and physically at certain times during 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.040 the year. But coming off of a bye he approaches 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.720 it first of all with the health of his team. 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.840 But then he also knows how to get his staff 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.640 ready because when you're coming off a bye, you have 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.800 to plan that bye week, not only for some practices 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.280 because you have to give your players off through the weekend, 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.360 but how you're going to prepare for the next opponent. 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:30.920 He's excellent, excellent at that four primetime games for the Titans, 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:35.720 they're most on an original schedule since two thousand and nine. 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.120 Here are the primetime games that are scheduled, and there 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.240 could be more added with a flex at Buffalo Monday 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:45.240 night football, Kansas City is Sunday night football. Green Bay 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.240 at Green Bay and then Dallas at home are both 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:52.960 Thursday night games. Titans under Mike Vrabel are seven and 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:56.040 oz in primetime games, and these are really seven and 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:59.760 five time. These are real NFL games right here. And 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.400 if you want to see great NFL games, these are 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.600 great NFL matchups right here. And to be in primetime 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:09.040 as a coach and a player and as fans, this 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.560 is what you want. This is what you want, This 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.879 is what we got. This excites me. All right. I'm 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.200 gonna get Joey Meredith to come up this way because 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.200 we want to talk about tickets for just a minute. 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.280 Many of you out there joining us want to know 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:24.680 all about what you can do ticket wise. I would 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:29.359 recommend the Flex plans, And under the Flex Plans, you 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.920 can pick the games you want to attend by customizing 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:37.520 a ticket package. And Joey Meredith, who is the director 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.320 of ticket sales, is coming in. He's got his oilers 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.320 gear on that of boy ready yeah that he talking 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:48.280 about the history the flex plans. Two game plans, three 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:51.760 game plans, five game plans. How does it work so 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:54.359 you can customize your schedule? A lot of people are 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:56.400 busy these days. You can pick the games that fit 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.000 your needs. One of the reasons we have to do 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.600 that because the people in this room renewed at a 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:05.720 record rate this year. That's awesome, not a yeah, yep, 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:09.840 ye so there, there's just not a lot of seats 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:11.440 out there, not a lot of tickets to choose from. 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:13.560 So what we do have left over, you can use 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:15.879 our two game or five game to make a schedule 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:18.880 that fitchers, and the tickets are in the three hundred 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:22.280 level and they start at one hundred and fifty two dollars. 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.880 It's a really great deal if you can't make it 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.200 to every game, and we know many of you who 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.920 are with us are out of town and can't make 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:33.560 every single one, or you couldn't get a PSL because 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.600 somebody renewed all of theirs, which was good news. So 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.119 good stuff right there with the flex plans. Let's talk 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.600 about season tickets for just a minute. Even though the 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:44.800 renewals are high, season tickets are still available. We do 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:46.840 have some, and I think the people in this room 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:50.080 would agree that the stadium atmosphere the last couple of 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.080 years has been a lot like the early two thousands, 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:54.080 and a lot of that is because our large season 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.480 ticket member base, so we are limited. A lot of 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:58.199 the areas are sold out, but there are still some 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:00.600 good ones. So if you are interested, our office our 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:02.040 reps will be able to help find some of the 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:04.240 decent ones that are left, okay, And there are some 0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:07.040 lower level seats. There's some lower level, sideline, lower level, 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:09.800 end zone, club levels super low, but we'll do our 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.280 best to find you a good seat, all right. So again, 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:17.080 if you're interested in Titans season tickets, they are available 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:21.600 six one five five six five forty two hundred. There 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.680 it is. You can call our text six one five 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:27.880 five six five forty two hundred and then I guess groups. 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:32.600 We do have some groups. We want local groups, so okay, yeah, Dallas, 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.240 all those people stay away. We want local companies, local 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:37.399 nonprofits to come out. We do have some space, but 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:39.439 not a lot, but call our reps will help you out, 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:41.960 all right. So how does the group package work? Is 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:44.200 there a minimum? How does that go? Yeah? Ten or 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:46.720 more people qualify for our group. Right, it's a discounted ticket. 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:48.920 So you'll get to see some Titans football for a 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:52.280 good price, all right. So you see the home games, 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:57.560 the Colts, the Jaguars and everybody in between. The estimated 0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:00.680 number of tickets that you would want just two hundred 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:02.280 and fifty dollars to hold them, and I think it's 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:05.480 what a minimum of ten, that's right? Minimum? So bring 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:11.200 your nine closest friends come watching Titans football. And also 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:13.840 some hospitality available we do. Yeah, so a lot of 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:17.000 the corporate companies that that we work with that are entertaining, 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:19.360 we have some food options for them. UM, definitely ask 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:21.479 about those because they're limited. All right, As I let 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:23.639 Joey Meredith go, thanks so much for being with us, 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:26.360 I want to put up on the screen this email 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:30.400 address that you need to know groups at Titans dot 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:34.600 NFL dot com for more information.

On September the eleventh, the 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:25.520 Tennessee Titans play host to the New York Giants. Noticed 0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:28.600 the start time. It is a three twenty five Central 0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:32.360 time kick. So the Titans are in the late window 0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:36.280 against Brian day Ball and the New York Giants.
