Speaker 1: We welcome you to the Official Titans Podcast, The Short

Speaker 1: Week Official Titans Podcast, the OTP. Amy Wells is here. Hello.

00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: Online dot Com is here. I'm here. Thank you doing

00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: it on Monday because the team departs for Jacksonville on

6
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: Wednesday and the game is on Thursday of this week.

7
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: Amy Wells is actually going early. I am going early.

8
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: We're doing a story on the Titans Advanced team and

9
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: the operations crew and all of the things that they

10
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: do to get ready for a road game. So I'm

11
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: very excited to spend some time with those guys and

12
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: kind of get a behind the scenes look because even traveling,

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: I don't know most of the stuff. It's magic to me.

14
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: Why just show up where they tell me to show

15
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: up and things happen. There's food, and the players know

16
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: where to go and everything just kind of happens. So

17
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see all of the preparation that goes

18
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: into getting it to a place where the team can

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: just focus on football and getting ready for the game.

20
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm really glad you guys are doing

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: this because Brent Acres and his crew are really really good.

22
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: I do know what goes on. You know, I've been

23
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: not only a head coach, when I was an assistant

24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: head coach. I was in charge of a lot of

25
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 1: that because that's so important for when you're on the road,

26
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: that everything fits. And I'm so glad you guys are

27
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: doing that because Brent Acres and his whole operations crew,

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: they are really really good. They may have the worst

29
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: job in season of any non I guess technically football

30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: job there is. Let me tell you. Let me tell

31
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: you what the anxiety that those oh people go through.

32
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: And I've experienced it firsthand, believe me, because you know

33
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: I was in charge of a lot of it. I mean,

34
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: you're at the mercy of airlines, You're at the mercy

35
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: of bus, You're at the mercy of hotels, You're at

36
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: the mercy of weather. But no matter what happens, you

37
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: have to get it right because it's so time since

38
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: for a football team traveling. These guys here again, as

39
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: I said, third time, I've said it now, they are tremendous.

40
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: You know, we got the idea for this story. We

41
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: starting about it after that seven hour game that we had. Yeah,

42
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: and they're finding food for people, and they're constructing walls

43
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: out of whatever they can find so that the team

44
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: has some more room to spread out. So with that,

45
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,119
Speaker 1: it kind of sparked our minds to thinking, Okay, these

46
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: guys have to be a little bit crazy to be

47
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: able to accomplish what they're able to do, and even

48
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: more important, in a short week, their job. Oh yeah,

49
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: and that's something that they Amy will find out and

50
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: as coach back knows, I mean, this is something I'm

51
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: sure they have been plotting since May or June, the

52
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: plans going into this week and how you're going to

53
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: go about doing it. So yeah, and it is a

54
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: tough turnaround, but maybe good practice from the preseason when

55
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: the team had a similar quick turnaround. Go into Brent

56
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: Acre's office and it looks like a head coach office

57
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: on his white board, and see how it's it's planned out,

58
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean graphs, I mean it's plotted out. The whole

59
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: season is a long time ago. Let's move to best

60
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: and Worst to begin this edition of the OTP, coming

61
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: off the lost Indianapolis. Best play from the Indianapolis game,

62
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: Amy Wells, you go first, I said, Harold Landry, having

63
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: the wherewithal to grab on Brissette's fumble. It led to

64
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: kick by Cairo Santos, which put us up by four

65
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: points and gave us a little bit more padding continuing

66
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: through the game. But just having the foresight to see

67
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: that ball, which was a weird fumble anyway, and take

68
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: advantage of that was a big play in my mind,

69
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: your mind was a turnoverall. So it's Logan Ryan. You know,

70
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: Logan Ryan's play because he was a man of man.

71
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: He was man a man on t Y Hilton on

72
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: an option route that got in phase with him with

73
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: him again, big play. And I'm piggybacking on coach Mike

74
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: because I got Logan Ryan's interceptional on my list. Two

75
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: interceptions for him in two games, one and a half side,

76
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: I think he's off to a great star. Missed a

77
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 1: tackle unsure that he kicked himself for on the long

78
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: on the long run that set up the Lake touchdown,

79
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: But great play by him, and I think it's shown

80
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: all his work this offseason really showing all. Right. Worst

81
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: play from the Indianapolis game, pick any play from that

82
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: final drive. I mean, I hate to say it, but

83
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: that you get the ball with a minute and seven

84
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: seconds left. I'll say one of the two short completions

85
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: that allows so much time to run off the clock. Yeah,

86
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: mine is in that same amount of time. The spike

87
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: on third down, or Taji Sharpe not necessarily maybe knowing

88
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: where he needed to be for that first down, that

89
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: was tough. The inability to get Briset on the ground

90
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: when you had so many chances. That flips the narrative

91
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: of this game, in my opinion, because you had good

92
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: pressure on him, we're not able to get him on

93
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: the ground in some critical times. Dave McGinnis, thing that

94
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: concerned you the most coming out of the Indianapolis game

95
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: not being able to close the game out in the

96
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. That's been really a good, you know thing

97
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: that this team has been able to do. Not being

98
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: able to close a game out at home in the

99
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, not being able to manage it. And those

100
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: are two definite concerns. Minds. Run defense. I mean, giving

101
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: up one hundred and thirty four point five through two games,

102
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty seven yesterday, one hundred two. First

103
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: Week's got to be better against the run, and you

104
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: better do it this week because you know, Jacksonville is

105
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: gonna try to establish it on Thursday night. Okay, it

106
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: was not a devastating defeat from the standpoint, you didn't

107
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: do everything wrong. So give me a positive that you

108
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: feel like Titans can build on coming out of the

109
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: Indianapolis game. Well, and I think Deck Henry continues to

110
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: look good. I think he runs the ball well. I

111
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: think he gets momentum as the game goes on. I'd

112
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: like to see the team just stick with them and

113
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: just ride him. I mean, I think there are stretches

114
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: in that game where you felt like he was taking

115
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: the game over, and then there was a stretch where

116
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: he wasn't in there something. I think you just keep

117
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: keep riding your riding your horse. I said that despite

118
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: the fact that there were some mistakes, it was still

119
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: a very close game all the way down to the

120
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: very end. I mean, nobody was running away with this game.

121
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: The team still was in it and able to hang

122
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: with the Colts. I think that there's a lot of

123
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: good to be found in the fact that, barring a

124
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: few mistakes, this woman a Titans victory. Yeah. Amy Wells

125
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: and I we called each other constantly on what these

126
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: questions and a but I put out not being I

127
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: put out. The game was never out of hand. It

128
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: was a slug fast throughout the whole way. You know

129
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: this this ball game that wasn't like you came out

130
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: and completely did not perform. You perform, You just didn't

131
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: close it out, all right, Dave McGinnis, What has to

132
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: happen on third down to improve a fifteen percent conversion

133
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: percentage from the first two games. This was glossed over

134
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: with Cleveland because everything else went well. Two of ten,

135
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: glossed over yesterday one of ten and a huge factor

136
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: in not being able to stay with the run game

137
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: because the Titans just didn't get that many plays. And

138
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: you're one percent right. And let me tell you the

139
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: biggest problem with third downs in this last ball game.

140
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: Third and thirteen, third and eighteen, third and seventeen, third

141
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: and fifteen are those are four third downs? Now, the

142
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: problem with that is first and second down, either by

143
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: penalty or by non production. But to me, the issues are,

144
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: you've got to do better on first and second down.

145
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: You've got to put yourself into third and manageable. But

146
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: you cannot live in the National Football League, especially in

147
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: a competitive game like we've just been talking about. Converting

148
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: one of ten on third down, especially when your opponent

149
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: is converting fifty percent of their third downs. And that's

150
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: why I got my list. Be better on first and

151
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: second down. That helps you avoid sikes, helps you be

152
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: so predictable. I think the Titans found themselves in such

153
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: a predictable spot when you're third and long having to

154
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: drop back and throw it, and that's what led to

155
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: you're going backwards. But I will say when you are

156
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: in those third and long situations, you've got to get

157
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: the ball out a little bit faster. And I know

158
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: Marcus talked about it as a point of emphasis for

159
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: him right after the game. So I don't think that

160
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying anything that's new or innovative, but you've got

161
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: to get the ball out a little bit faster if

162
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: you're going to make some of those big plays to

163
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: kind of save your drive. If you don't have tailor

164
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: to one, which the Titans don't for two more games,

165
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: it's almost as if all phases have to be a

166
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: little better. The offensive line has to play together and

167
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: they have to certainly do their best. Mariota's got to

168
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: get the ball out. The other thing, too, is receivers

169
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: have got to get free quicker too. You're down an

170
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: important part right now. It's not the only reason that

171
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: you've given up eight sacks, but it's like every point

172
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: of execution, Coach Mac has to be just a little

173
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: bit better. Yeah, you do it. And the pressure that

174
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: you're talking about, I mean, I don't think we've had

175
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: a lot of edge pressure in two ball games, you know, seriously,

176
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: just screaming off the edge, especially over there on that

177
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: left side. I haven't seen that. But you do have

178
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: to be better. And Amy Wells is one hundred percent right.

179
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: It's first and second down that puts you in an

180
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: issue as to where you've got to be able to

181
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: do that. And Jim Wyatt said it too. I mean,

182
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: first and second down, you've got to put yourself in

183
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: manageable I know this as a as a lifelong defensive

184
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: coach in the National Football League. I used to love

185
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: looking at third and thirteen, third and eighteen, third and seventeen,

186
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: third and fifteen because every call I have defensively will work,

187
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: will work. The percentages when you start to do the

188
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: percentages in the favor of the defense, there's astronomical when

189
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: you have it this long third and ten plus I

190
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: mean that it's so first and second down have got

191
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: to be better. And as I said, the pressure, the

192
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: pressure hasn't been coming from the edge. I think the

193
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: pressure comes from a lot of what you're talking about.

194
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: And I haven't dug in as deep as I'm going to,

195
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: but to see if holding the ball is a consequence

196
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: of just waiting for somebody to come open, or if

197
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: it's a problem of separation across the board, Amy, well

198
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: start with you on this one reaction when David Quizonberry

199
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: caught the touchdown pass. First off, I love it when

200
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: the big guys get in the end zone. Just me personally,

201
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: I think that's great, It's very fun. But the team

202
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: and seeing their reaction was ten times better. They exploded

203
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: tight ends. Coach Todd Downing ran over hugged Arthur Smith

204
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: like bear hugged him because it worked. He was so excited.

205
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: Such a cool moment, knowing David Quisenberry's story and all

206
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: that he's had to overcome to get to that moment

207
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: for a big guy to get a touchdown, really really

208
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: special moment. Yeah. And and what what Amy's referring to

209
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: is the guy fought cancer and is one and has

210
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: now found himself back on the football field. I have

211
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: to say when I saw him catch it, I was

212
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: surprised because they worked on that in practice where he

213
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: lined up as kind of the jumbo tied end, but

214
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: they never threw him the ball, and I thought, well,

215
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: maybe I just missed it. And I was in and

216
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: out of practice a little bit more this week than usual,

217
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: just because I had so much stuff going on with

218
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: to Steve McNear Eddie, George Jersey retirement, so I'm thinking, well,

219
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: maybe there was a time when they ran that in

220
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: practice where I didn't see it. And I asked him

221
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: after the game and he said they never threw them

222
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: the ball in practice, and Marcus said the same thing.

223
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: So he said, he broke off the line of scrimmage,

224
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: got into the end zone, found himself wide open, even

225
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: said himself, damn wide open here, and the ball came

226
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: his way. He caught it, and I think it was

227
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: as much shock mixed in there as well as everybody

228
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: just being so happy for a guy who's worked so

229
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: hard to get to that moment. Normally, when you line

230
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: an extra linemen up like that, it's best not to

231
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: throw it to him at all early on, you know,

232
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm talking about in practice because they think about it

233
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: too much. I love the call, I love the execution,

234
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: and I also liked the confidence that everybody had you

235
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: know that it's gonna work. I mean, I absolutely loved it.

236
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: Plus as a big play at that time, it was

237
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: a big play. I went back and watched it frame

238
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: by frame last night. First thing, so Quiz and Berri's

239
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: lined up on the right side is the tight end.

240
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 1: The first thing he does is he makes contact with

241
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: somebody on the defensive line, and it was more than

242
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: just a brush. It was more than just token. So

243
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: he didn't release clean, which a lot of times those

244
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: guys do. He comes off and he's actually running a route.

245
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: Quisinberry was running a pattern across the back of the

246
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: end zone. He didn't just run into the end zone

247
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: and turn around. He's still moving when the ball comes

248
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: his way. It's a good throw by Mariota, but it's

249
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: not a simple catch for a man who doesn't catch.

250
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: And he reached back with his hands and just snatched

251
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: it like he'd been doing it all his life. It

252
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: was a great play by David quisinber Yeah, he didn't

253
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: body catch it. He knows, said he caught it with

254
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: his hands. And look, when you're playing goal line defense

255
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: and you see an extra alignement in there, you understand

256
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: you're playing go line defense most of the time. You're

257
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: a man and a man, and you've got a linebacker

258
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: usually responsible for that backside nub tied ends what he

259
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,359
Speaker 1: has and if he shows especially alignement, shows any inclination

260
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: that he's blocking at all, you leave him right him

261
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: and you go to try to help to double a

262
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: real receiver. Well this worked. I think the guy beat

263
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: was actually Darius Leonard, the rookie of the Year last year,

264
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: the defensive rookie of because you know what Darius Leonard did,

265
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: as I said, as soon as he blocked, his eyes

266
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: went somewhere else. Yeah, I see. But coach I would say,

267
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: Quisenberry's point would be, I'm just too athletic for it,

268
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 1: you know what. God bless him well, And here's what

269
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: I want to say about him to think that. And

270
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: I'm glad he talked about it after the game because

271
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: even though the Titans lost, and even though linemen are

272
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: generally not allowed to speak ever, and especially speak of themselves,

273
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: that is such an important moment for so many people

274
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: who are fighting blood cancer who are part of families

275
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: or have friends or whatever, because this guy and what

276
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: they do at LLS is so special in fundraising and

277
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: helping families and education and development. And we've got so

278
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: many more people who are staying alive today because of

279
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: these developments. If this happens to David Quisenberry thirty years ago,

280
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: he's not here. But this is huge. So they do

281
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: the light, the night Walk, they do so many great things.

282
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: Our friend Jonathan Hutton raised over one hundred thousand dollars

283
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: for him this spring and a Man of the Year.

284
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: But think about what this moment meant to all of

285
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: those people who are in this fight right now. A

286
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: man who was down for three years scored a touchdown

287
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: in an NFL game. And that's more important than the

288
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts or the Tennessee Titans, or the Pittsburgh Steelers

289
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: or anybody else in terms if you want to fight

290
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: for it, here's a guy twenty nine years old who

291
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: caught a touchdown pass in the NFL because he would

292
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: not stop fighting. Yeah, and if Titans would have won

293
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: that game, you talk about it, feel good story come

294
00:14:58,720 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: out of it would have been I mean, it was

295
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: still obviously we're writing about it and it's still getting good.

296
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: Playing Nashley because it's such a big moment means even

297
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: more to Mike Vrabel because he was with David Quizonberry

298
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: back in Houston and saw his struggle and now having

299
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: him here, everybody's happy for him. I mean, he yeah,

300
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: it would have been nice if we would come in

301
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: a win, but you know, he said himself, I mean

302
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: it's a moment that he'll never forget and just happy

303
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: to be having an opportunity to do it, all right.

304
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: Favorite takeaway from the Eddie George Steve McNair halftime ceremony

305
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: or anything from the Eddie George Steve McNair A week

306
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: that really grabbed you. So I just I love the

307
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: atmosphere and I like the feel it brought everybody together.

308
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, these is different generations of Titans fans,

309
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: Titans players. It brought everybody together and it was so good.

310
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I was here for some of that,

311
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, for some of those you know, for eight years,

312
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: and it was just so good to see all those

313
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: former players come back. I love seeing Jeff Fisher being

314
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: invited back and being part of it. You know, down

315
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: there on the field and just you could feel, you

316
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: could really feel the sense of oneness in that stadium,

317
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: and you could feel it all week leading up to it.

318
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you did a tremendous job, Mike, with you

319
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: and the way the whole organization, you know, did everything

320
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: from Thursday on with with everything that was done, you know,

321
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: with with with all access and and everything on Titan's

322
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: media about it. I mean, it was. It was tremendous.

323
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: And those are special times because you're talking about two

324
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: generational players in the National Football League having their numbers

325
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: retired together. I mean, and they came in together and

326
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: basically were the pillars of the way this organization was

327
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: built in Tennessee, and it was the whole thing was

328
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: very well done. Yeah, I think just Eddie just embracing

329
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: the moment and embracing the week so much. I mean,

330
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: from the start of the week he was he hit

331
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: the ground running and made himself available to anybody that

332
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: wanted to talk to him about it. I think he

333
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: was doing it just for himself, but because of Steve

334
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: and a kind of key his memory alive. So to

335
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: see him there and to see him get a little

336
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: bit of a little bit choked up during the ceremony,

337
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: you know, kind of spoke to just how much it

338
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: meant to him. And then something I didn't realized until

339
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: after the number nine cloud cloud that went over the

340
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: stadium in the shape of the number nine, that was

341
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: taken by Gabby Stepanek, who I didn't see it when

342
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: it happened, and when I first saw the photo, I

343
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: thought it was photoshop, but then somebody else sent me

344
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: a video of it where they kind of went back

345
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: and forth from the play to the sky and it

346
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: was crazy, crazy how much the cloud shaped like a

347
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: number nine. So you had to thank that. Steve mcneir

348
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: looking down smiling himself after the white things played out yesterday,

349
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: that cool moment. I had some people send me pictures

350
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: as well, just who were in the stadium. Really wild,

351
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: but just having all of the former players here, former opponents,

352
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: former coaches and everybody, hearing all of their stories about

353
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: that time in Titan's history, you know, all of the

354
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 1: epic battles, all of the funny stories, all the you

355
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: just feel like you're getting to know these people a

356
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: little bit better and learn a little bit more about

357
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: this Titans team. And it was so much fun for

358
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: me to just see a lot of familiar faces and

359
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: hear a lot of old stories and stories that I

360
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: had never heard before. It was a really, really fun week.

361
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: Let's turn the page to Jacksonville, a team that Eddie

362
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: George often tortures. He played very well. It gets them historically.

363
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: They have a rookie quarterback at a Washington State. Am

364
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: I saying it right? Garner Minchew? Yep? Tell me about

365
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: Garner Menchew. Who is he and how is Jacksonville using him?

366
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: This kid's a gun slinger and and he might be

367
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: a rookie. I don't see them, you know what. I've

368
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: watched him play. I mean, his nature is to sling

369
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: it around. Now now they're they're going to limit him

370
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: some because they're going to want to run the football,

371
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: But I don't see them just making him a handoff

372
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: unit back there. This guy brought him back in the

373
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: fourth quarter in this last ball game that they had

374
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,479
Speaker 1: a chance to win when they went for two at

375
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: the end and it wasn't successful. You can't go to

376
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: sleep on this quarterback just because he's a rookie and

377
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: just because you think, well, all we've got to do

378
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: is now play the run, and all they're gonna do

379
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: is just give him fundamental things to do. This kid

380
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: can make some things happen. He's done at his whole career.

381
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what he's done since high school and

382
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: all the way through. I think that you know, we've

383
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: talked about him before as far as his journey through

384
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: junior college, his journey out to Washington State. I mean,

385
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: and the other thing to know about this guy, if

386
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: you really dig into him, I mean, he's a really

387
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: smart guy, really really smart. So we can't underestimate what

388
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: they're going to do with his quarterback. And I was

389
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: talking to buddy mind, John Osher, who worked for the

390
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: Times Union forever and I worked for the Jaguars before

391
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: I came in here, and I was surprised to hear. Obviously,

392
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: when they lose Nick Foles, that's a heck of a

393
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: development for them right at the start of the season.

394
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: But the city has kind of embraced this guy and

395
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: his kind of his quirkiness. He's the kind of mustache guy.

396
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,719
Speaker 1: I think he became famous at Washington State for that.

397
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: They they are rallying behind this guy, and I think

398
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: he has been a guy looks like he's played a

399
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: lot of football so far. I do think one of

400
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: these weeks he's going to get exposed a little bit

401
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: for being a rookie. And and you would hope that

402
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: Dean Peace will be able to put a plane together

403
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: this week where they can kind of take advantage of

404
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: some of that and kind of I don't know if

405
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: you have a feel good story when you're when you're

406
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: owing two, which is what Jacksonville's faced with. It seems

407
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: like they're ready to rilly behind this guy and trying

408
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: to build some momentum, and the Titans, you got to

409
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: keep that from happening. Rookies with confidence are dangerous. I

410
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: think he's a very clearly a confident guy. He's not

411
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: afraid and like Max said, he's not afraid to throw it.

412
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: He's not afraid to try and make big plays. And

413
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: I think that that's just something that this team's going

414
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: to have to be aware of. His story's unreal. It's

415
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: very from Mississippi. He goes to Troy on an academic scholarship,

416
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: then he decides he wants to play football, so he

417
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: leaves and goes Juco. He ends up at East Carolina,

418
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: where he's the quarterback, and he graduates, he transfers is

419
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: a grad transfer to Washington State in plays for Michael Leach.

420
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I just you get the idea he's just

421
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: not afraid of anything. No, And I think that that's

422
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: kind of what has lent itself to kind of the

423
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: swag or the quirkiness that he has, you know, I mean,

424
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: he just kind of keeps sticking around. And now he's

425
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: getting the opportunity. So what does he have to lose?

426
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: You know, I mean he's a rookie. He's in this

427
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: awesome situation for him right now. May as well take

428
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,959
Speaker 1: advantage of these opportunities and see what happens. What did

429
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: you say went on academic scholarship? It's what I read? Well,

430
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: it's no, here's the deal. What's the act? What's the

431
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: high steam score on thirty six? He scored thirty two.

432
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: That's good. Good. No. So, I mean this guy is

433
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: a smart guy. And everybody that you talked to that's

434
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: been in his background has said he's a smart guy?

435
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: Is he Ryan Fitzpatrick? Is that? Is that who he

436
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: is as a as a person and as a play

437
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: because let's face it, when fitz gets hot, I mean

438
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: he is fits Magic when he gets rolling, and Fits

439
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: is quirky and not scared of anything. And obviously if

440
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't have quite the faciful hair that fits Magic does. Okay,

441
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: he's getting started a right, but he's young. He's young,

442
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: that's what he is. He's Ryan Fitzpatrick, the player with

443
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: Zach Mettenberger's face. Put those two together, that's kind of

444
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: what we're Yeah, all right, So what's Arthur Smith's challenge

445
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: going into a short week against Jacksonville's talented defense. Coach Man, Well,

446
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: this is a common opponent. I mean, he knows what

447
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: this defense is. He knows the defensive structure. I mean

448
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: the first thing that that Arthur's got to address is

449
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: first and second down culminated in too many third and

450
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: longs to have to overcome. I mean, this is you know,

451
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 1: Arthur is going to have to address the chain game

452
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,479
Speaker 1: in this and as you said, it was overlooked a

453
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, in the first ball game because

454
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: it ended up being being a runaway. But but this

455
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: is this, this is an issue and again, this is

456
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: a common opponent. It's different than going up against what

457
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: when we did against Cleveland where we didn't really know

458
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: what they're going to do. We know what these people

459
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,479
Speaker 1: are going to do. Defensively, They've got the same defensive players.

460
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: You know what they're going to do. Your execution has

461
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: to be better on first and second down. Give you

462
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: a chance on third down around the horn. Your biggest

463
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,479
Speaker 1: concern about this game in Jacksonville for the Titans on

464
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: Thursday night, Well, I think this is huge for them.

465
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: I mean, they've they've lost too in a row. They're

466
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: coming back on you know, a Thursday night game. I

467
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: just think that Titans have got to be able to

468
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: weather the storm, go toe to toe with them and

469
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: find and find a way to win something that couldn't

470
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: do yesterday. So I just think going into a hostile environment,

471
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: a team that's looking for some revenge, is tired of

472
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: getting beat by the Titans, Um, you know, being able

473
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: to us to overcome that. If this loss is something

474
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: that rattled the chains at all in terms of people

475
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: trusting the prices, we're gonna have a situation. I don't

476
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: think that's the case, but that's always something you worry

477
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: about in a close loss. No, she's right. I mean

478
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: it's a division opponent on the road, not letting the

479
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: disappointment and the frustration of what just happened bleed over

480
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: into Jacksonville. That cannot happen. Jacksonville has got to be

481
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: treated as his own separate entity. It's a division game

482
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: on the road. You win a division game on the road,

483
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: it's like winning two games. Everything's got to be on Jacksonville.

484
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: Nobody said Leonard Fournette. I'm surprised. Yeah, I'm over him. Oh,

485
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: pretty talented guy. He gave up one sixty seven rushing

486
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Kind of worried. Whatever, gotta do better. We

487
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: got to stop the run better. Yes, he got stopped

488
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: at the two point play. He did, he didn't. More

489
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: ninety nine yard runs like last year against Jacksonville. That

490
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: would work. More stiff arms, please all right? For Avy Wells,

491
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: Dave McGinnis, and Jim White. Mike Keith says thanks for
