Speaker 1: the hardest working man in show business. Welcome to the program.

00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: I'm glad to be here. I nobody's working hard. This

29
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: is a fun week. Got the AFC Championship game coming up.

30
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: Season continues, off season, pushed back. It's a good thing. Maybe.

31
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: One of the five greatest Titans fans of all time

32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: is a young man by the name of Andy Garrison.

33
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: Andy Garrison, I've known for a long long time. Andy

34
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: Garrison hits me on a text last night and says,

35
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: where is the OTP? I got a couple of those

36
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: on the Twitter machine. He wants. He wants to know

37
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 1: where the OTP is because it's normally on Wednesday. We

38
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: are recording it on Thursday, and it is because I

39
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: was away. I was in Houston yesterday morning and we

40
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: were hopeful that with the NFL Centennial Class, we thought

41
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: that our founder, Bud Adams could be part of that

42
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: as one of the three contributors. Unfortunately, and we were

43
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: with Amy Adams Strunk. We were there at her invitation

44
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: with other KSA employees at the main office of mister

45
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: Adams company, people who had worked for mister Adams, and

46
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: it was emotional. I mean, it was emotional to be

47
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: there in hopes that it was going to happen, and

48
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: when it didn't, it was it was disappointing to her credit. Though,

49
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: Amy Adams Strunk wanted to congratulate the fifteen members of

50
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: the Centennial Class on camera, she wanted to do an interview,

51
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: So we did an interview and we put that out

52
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: via all of our platform and I thought it was

53
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: I thought it was really really something. I'm not gonna

54
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: go into my whole diatribe about why I think Bud

55
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: Adams deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, because

56
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: I do and I feel strongly about it. Let me

57
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: just read you one thing. Okay, this is from the

58
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs AFC Championship game release. Okay, that's what

59
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: I have right here in the connections page. Chiefs founder

60
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: Lamar Hunt and Titans founder Bud Adams were both instrumental

61
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: figures in the founding of the AFL, as each claimed

62
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: charter franchises in the league. The pair of pioneers were

63
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: also critical figures in the nineteen seventy AFL NFL merger,

64
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: shaping the landscape of the NFL today. That's from the

65
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs release. It's not from the Titans release. It's from

66
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs release. The man who founded the Chiefs, his

67
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 1: name is on the AFC Championship troll fee and they

68
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: include our founder as another pioneer, which to me, if

69
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: you just read that, wouldn't you think I would imagine

70
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: both of those guys are in the Hall of Fame.

71
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: First of all, if you know anything about the National

72
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: Football League, you don't even need to read that, But

73
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: I did, and to me it, look, there is no

74
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: NFL as it is right now without Bud Adam, right

75
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: And so that's end of story. Yep. I agree. Anybody

76
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: talked to you about mister Adams, that's the first thing

77
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: they say is you can't write the history of the

78
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: NFL without Bud Adams. And uh, you know, certainly, you

79
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: know I agree with Amy, and I think everyone that

80
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: got in and the three contributors you'll look at all

81
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: did great things for the league. So it's hard to

82
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: knock any of the three. All right, So let me

83
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: give you the first question that who in the centennial

84
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: class surprised you? You know, I don't know that I

85
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: was surprised. I mean, I think I was surprised that

86
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: mister Adams didn't make it. I mean, I think if

87
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: I to say, is you're talking about contributors, I have

88
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: to say I probably a little bit surprised at Paul Tagliabou,

89
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: just because of some of the background and some of

90
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: the history there and the controversy that surrounds him been selected.

91
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: I think if someone surprised me that they got in,

92
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: that's probably who it would be. For me, it was

93
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: probably Steve Sable based on the fact that his dad

94
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: got in as a regular contributor, and I think he

95
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: would have gotten in at some point in the near

96
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: future as a regular contributor. Most of the people that

97
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: were thought of for this group were people who had

98
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: been overlooked. Steve Sable was certainly never going to be overlooked.

99
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: He was going into the Hall of fame. I just

100
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: I was surprised he went in with this group. That's all.

101
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: He certainly deserves it. Don't get me wrong. Is it

102
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: my turn? Sure. The one that surprised me was jim

103
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: Covert because he was on that great Bears team, and

104
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 1: I thought they had forgotten about Jimbo, you know, because

105
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: I would look, I was there with him. One of

106
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: the best. I mean, he was like Bruce Matthews if

107
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: he had not have been hurt. He was one of

108
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: the He was one of the most pure tackles I've

109
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: ever seen. He went. He went an entire season without

110
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: giving up a sack when I was there. This guy

111
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: was a fantastic player, and he was also a fantastic

112
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: human being. He really was. I thought that he had

113
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: been passed up long enough, and there are a lot

114
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: of you know, he's he's a sixth member of that

115
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: team to be on. So we had some real players

116
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: on that team, and I was so happy that he

117
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: got in. I thought that it surprised me that he

118
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: finally did. I'm glad he did. And Jimbo Covert was

119
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: the reason they did this. He was the type of

120
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: guy who the regular committee probably wouldn't have gotten to

121
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: because there's so many other more recent candidates that come

122
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: up correct. And that's why I thought this was such

123
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: a good idea to do this. Amy, Yeah, I agree

124
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: with kind of what both of you have said. I

125
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: thought that Steve Sable would go in a different class.

126
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: Later on, I thought that this was more for people

127
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: who had been overseen, and Steve Sable hasn't even had

128
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: the chance to be overlooked yet. You know, there just

129
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: has enough time hasn't passed, and I mean the Kansas

130
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: City chiefs just said everything that I thought about Bud Adams,

131
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: he deserves to be in. I thought that this was

132
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: the shot, given kind of the the pageantry around the

133
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: one hundred years and all of the history that we've

134
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: been looking at, I thought that this was the year.

135
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: And so I'm very surprised that he's not in the

136
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: name that you thought got left out outside of mister Adams.

137
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: The name that you thought got left out that stood

138
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: out to you the most Dave McGinnis, Drew Pearson. I mean,

139
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: Drew Pearson is the only member of that group, you know,

140
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: the only member of the of the of the all

141
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: Decades teams that's not in there. And Harold Carmichael, who

142
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: got in, was second team, second Team All Decades. Drew

143
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: Pearson was first team All Decade. Let me just say

144
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: something else too, and I and again, I've been like

145
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: a lot of y'all. I've been in this a long time,

146
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: you know. And for our listeners, you know, the presenter

147
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: for all three of those contributors was Sal Palantonio. They're

148
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, Sable Tagluboo and Harold Carmichael. And again, I

149
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: don't know how the room went, you know, I don't

150
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: know what the gist was, but that's pretty unusual. Interesting

151
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: who surprised you didn't get in? I think Pearson is

152
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: the one that jumped out to me too. And I

153
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: think what disappointed me about the whole process is just

154
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: how they did it. And I think it's been cool

155
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: how Jimmy Johnson and Bill Cower got surprised at the

156
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: surprise announcements, which I think is a good step for

157
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame to make. But the way they

158
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: unveiled it yesterday, and Andrew Pearson came to mind because

159
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: I know he was set up and they had cameras

160
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: ready for him, just like you know, just like you

161
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: were there with the Titans online crew for Amy Adam Strunk.

162
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: I just think that's such an agonizing process when you're saying, Okay,

163
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna unveil this from six to nine on NFL Network.

164
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: I kind of anticipated that they would make the reveal

165
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: at the beginning and then maybe celebrate these guys to

166
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: output to make them sit through three hours of that well,

167
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: and she and she did not know. There was no

168
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: call beforehand to say, yes, it's not gonna happen. And

169
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously Harold Carmichael and Donnie Shell knew beforehand

170
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: because they were miraculously in the studio for Good Morning Football.

171
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean that was it was tough because

172
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: I think I saw the Drew Pearson tweets. I think

173
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: Paul Jones from from Dallas that used to be here

174
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: in Nashville. He was it was dark outside there, just

175
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: like it was dark a lot of places at six

176
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. And uh so they were there

177
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: with him kind of waiting to go through this day

178
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: and anticipation of him getting in and then the call

179
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: never came. I think that was disappointing. How they had

180
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: to kind of twist in the wind like that. Who's

181
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: your surprise. It was left out, Amy, but Adams was mine.

182
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 1: He was the guy that I expected. Mine is Jim Marshall.

183
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: Marshall the defensive lineman who started his career in Canadian

184
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: football Cleveland Browns in nineteen years. Best known with the

185
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings one hundred and twenty seven sacks. He was

186
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: part of the Purple People leaders. He was a great player.

187
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: I guess he suffers because it was so long ago.

188
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: He's now been out of the game forty years. He

189
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: played on a defense that Alan Page was really the

190
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: big star, and I guess that he's not realized for

191
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: that fact. But here's what I want to know from,

192
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: especially from Jim, a longtime reporter and coach, Mac a

193
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: longtime person in the NFL, and certainly Amy, I want

194
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: you to chime in too. The play Jim Marshall is

195
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: best known for is a bone headed play. He picked

196
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: up a fumble against the San Francisco forty nine ers

197
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty four and he ran the wrong way.

198
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 1: It ended up being a safety. Wrong way Marshall, and

199
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: I mean it's a it's a thing. I mean, start

200
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: with you from a perception standpoint, how much do you

201
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: think it hurt I mean, it certainly doesn't diminish his

202
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: whole career. But the fact is, that's the if you

203
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: google him, that's gonna be the first thing that comes up,

204
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: is him running the wrong way fifty six years ago

205
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: in a game instead of running to the end zone,

206
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: running through his own end zone. How much do you

207
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: think that hurts him. I don't know if that hurts him.

208
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: How mean it hurts his reputation? Just because that's my point. Yeah,

209
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: But in the eyes of the committee, I'm I would

210
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: hope that they would look past that and realize that

211
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: this guy was a hell of a football player. But

212
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: from me, that's the first thing I think whenever I

213
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: hear his name, Mitchtion, just like, uh, is it Leonard

214
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: Lett with with Dallas leon Lett? I'm sorry, Uh, that's

215
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: the first thing I think of as a play that

216
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: he made that U two, he had had the fumble,

217
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: had tracked him down, and Don Beebe tracked him down

218
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, and then he had the fumble

219
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: in the snow in Dallas in the game against Miami

220
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: that cost the Cowboys a game. He slid, it's recovered,

221
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: put his hands on a block kick and should have

222
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: never done it. So I mean that's the first thing

223
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: I think of as far as the committee goes out,

224
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: you would hope that they would look past that. As

225
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: far as the reputation goes that's always remember that. And

226
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: you know, seeing that play and see him go the

227
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: wrong way and seeing people realize that, hey, you're going

228
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: the wrong way and then him throwing the ball in

229
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: celebration that ends up being in a safety and it's

230
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: a shame, but that's what he is known for, so painful.

231
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: If that affected this committee, then you need another committee. Okay.

232
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: I mean this guy was a magnificent player, a magnificent player,

233
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: he really was. And to be able to have had

234
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: that happened to him, he had to be playing, and

235
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: he played really well. I don't think it it comes

236
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: up first because you know it's the highlight. Well, that's

237
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: the highlighting. It's like Joe Green used to tell me

238
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: a lot of times. You know, Joe Green worked for

239
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: me for eight years in Arizona, and Joe Green's got

240
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: a fairly good grasp on what the National Football League is,

241
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: you know, for a lot of reasons, and so when

242
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: things would not be going good there and we'd get

243
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: a lot of outside noise, he'd say, Coach Mac, he'd

244
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: come in to my office and say, don't let what

245
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: the shoe clerks are saying out there bother you. They

246
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: know shoes, they don't know football. So if shoe clerks

247
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: said that that's why he's not in, then they need

248
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: to sell shoes. So ironic for me, I sold shoes

249
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: for just about to say that was my college job.

250
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: Thank you, coach, just say it so Ammy Wells, I'm

251
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: gonna throw it to you in a different way. Yes,

252
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: Amy Adams strunk. And the fact that in a moment

253
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: like that, which is obviously disappointing, and she knew that

254
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: it could go the wrong way, but the fact that

255
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: she wanted to go on camera and say something to

256
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: Titan's nation says a lot about who she really not

257
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: pr wise, but says a lot about who she really is. Absolutely,

258
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: she had every opportunity to say, you know what, this

259
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: didn't go the way we wanted it to go. Thank

260
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: you guys for coming and hanging out with me. This

261
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: was fun, see you later like that would be very

262
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: easy for her to do. For her to have the

263
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: kind of foresight to know that people want to hear

264
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: from her really no matter when. But Titans fans want

265
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: to hear from her. Titans Nation wants to hear from her.

266
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: Even if things don't go the way that we want

267
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: them to go, or she wants them to go, She's

268
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: still willing to talk, and she's willing to congratulate those

269
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: who deserve but also to redirect and say, hey, we

270
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: still have all of these other things going on. So

271
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: even in a moment of disappointment, that she had that

272
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: kind of grace and that ability to really speak, I

273
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: think that that just speaks to the person that she is.

274
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought it was you know, I watched

275
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: the piece immediately when it came up, and I was

276
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: so impressed for those reasons. I mean, it what class.

277
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: I mean, just class and so genuine and and it

278
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: just if you watched that and you and you you

279
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: knew that this franchise is experiencing success. If you really

280
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: want to know why, all you have to do is

281
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: watch that piece, because it all comes from the top downs.

282
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: She was marvelous, She was fantastic, and those of us

283
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: that are fortunate enough to be around her a lot

284
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: know that that was genuine and that's who she is,

285
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: and that's since she's taken over, she's gone out of

286
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: her way to show up at telgates, show up and

287
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: parking lots of stadiums when it's you know, below zero.

288
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean, she's been doing that and she didn't do

289
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: it for the for the news clips or for people

290
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: to see. It's not an orchestrated it's not a marketing

291
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: driven thing. It's it's her doing it because she wants

292
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: to do it. I mean, just watch her on the

293
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: sideline before games when she comes out and and speaks

294
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: to fans and she feels that connects. She does, and

295
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: that's why I think this team fills the connection to her.

296
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: Let me say something else about leadership too, sure. I

297
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: mean that that displays such a great feel for what

298
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: leadership really is, because it's very easy to lead from

299
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: out front when things are going great. But what she

300
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: did and the way she stepped up like that, that

301
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: just that speaks volumes. I mean it was I was,

302
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: I was really proud to be involved with this franchise

303
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: when I when I saw that you two and the

304
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: piece that you guys did and what she did and

305
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: the way she handled it, and I think Amy well

306
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: said it perfectly. She handled it not only professionally, she

307
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: handled it with sincere grace, which was very, very very impressive.

308
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: And her idea, she said, we can still do the

309
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: interview if you want to do it. I said, anytime

310
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: we can have you speak, we want you to speak.

311
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: So but it was her idea and I she's pretty

312
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: special and I think coach Mack and Jim and Amy

313
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: have hit it right on the head. Let's move to ball. Okay,

314
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: Dave McGinnis, do you believe that the national media believes

315
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans can beat the Kansas City Chiefs. Let's

316
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: go back to my shoe clerk. Okay, come in, I'm

317
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: with you. They have not believed in this team ever

318
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: since they were two and four. They have not. They

319
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: still don't. And you know how much that matters. Close

320
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: your eyes and tell me what you see. That's how

321
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: much what they think matters. The only thing that matters

322
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: is what these people think they're involved in it. I

323
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: think some of them want to believe. They do not

324
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: want to believe. You. Do you think they don't know

325
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: because they got no clue. Okay, They've got no clue. Jim,

326
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: what's your take, believe. Just a minute, I'll tell you

327
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: who does believe. Okay, we're looking out a window right now,

328
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: these these three practice fields. That's who believes. Right, it's true.

329
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: Let's see a coyote out there that's not a real coyote.

330
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: Don't start that again, Jim. I've seen a shift in

331
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: recent weeks. I think the majority do not believe, and

332
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: uh and shocked by what happened in New England, shocked

333
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: by what happened in Baltimore, and kind of expecting U

334
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs to win on Sunday and advance at the

335
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But I will say I have seen, you know,

336
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: national reporters and seeing a lot of stuff on social

337
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: media where people are starting to give the Titans some

338
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: credit and uh, it's not a smoking mirrors deal. This

339
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: is not a Houston Astros stealing signals in the back room.

340
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: I mean the Titans are doing it, and uh they're

341
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: doing it for everybody to see with not a lot

342
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: of smoking mirrors. One NOTEO, speaking of being in Houston,

343
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: the greatest thing that happened to Bill O'Brien was the

344
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: Houston Astros skin kidding it was the greatest thing no

345
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: guy has ever gotten luckier with publicity then Bill O'Brien,

346
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: based on what happened hours later with the Astros, it's

347
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: probably outside out front of his garage beating on a

348
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: trash Canada back where the Astros had on it amy

349
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: else you wanted to say, I think that to Jim's point,

350
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: more people are talking about the Titans. I do not

351
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: think they expect us to win, but now so many

352
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: people have been exposed for vehemently picking against the Titans

353
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: that now they have to cover themselves a little bit,

354
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: and so they say things like, I think the Chiefs

355
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: are going to win, but man, this Titans team seems

356
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: to be okay, right, Like they have to give us

357
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: some sort of credit because of all the times that

358
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: they have seen clips of themselves played back to them

359
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: now saying this Titans team is drafted. So if this

360
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: were a reality show like Survivor or The Bachelor, we're

361
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: the cute girl on the Bachelor or the funny person

362
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: on Survivor that people would be pulling for but they

363
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,479
Speaker 1: don't think is going to win. Yes, we are the

364
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: crazy girl who everyone thinks there's no chance that she'll

365
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: win this thing, but god, she's entertaining so they've got

366
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: to keep her on for one more one more episode.

367
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: That's who we are. And they're like, oh, there's no

368
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: chance this chick wins, but we gotta keep her here

369
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: because man, people keep watching. That's the Tennessee Titans right now.

370
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: Interesting analogy, but it works. But I mean, I get it.

371
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: I was watching Good Morning Football this morning, and Kyle

372
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: Brant is more pro Titans than anybody on that set.

373
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: Nate Burlson, he's sort of in the Titans camp sort of.

374
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: Shreegar's not. Kay Adams is sort of trying to get there,

375
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: but it's like they can't quite there. There is Brant,

376
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: but the rest of them are like, well, they're intrigued,

377
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: they're not insulting, they're not demeaning, but they can't go

378
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: all the way because now Schreegar, to his credit, he's

379
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: picked the Chiefs pretty much all along. And why after

380
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: you saw him last weekend, why would you get off

381
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: the Chief's bandwagon right now? Right? But us, what I've

382
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: noticed is people keep finding these very obscure stats and

383
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: these very strange things that they fixate on. Stop looking

384
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: at me when you obscure stats, that's anyr thing. But

385
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: like and then they'll fixate on that stas driving a

386
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: bad day. Judge today, you're having a bad day. It

387
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: really has after I got up at four o'clock in

388
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: the morning yesterday, Houston. But they keep fixating on these things,

389
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: and then it's like, well, this is obviously proof that

390
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans can't win because Ryan Tannehill's not throwing

391
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: the ball a lot, or because I don't know it's

392
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: going to be cloudy. Let me go there. Yeah, all right,

393
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: So my next question was going to be the Titans

394
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: have won two playoff games throwing thirty one times overall.

395
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: Mariot has thrown once, Henry's thrown once, Tannehill's thrown twenty

396
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: nine times. Did they throw more or less than thirty

397
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: one times in Kansas City? Dave McGinnis more than fifteen,

398
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,959
Speaker 1: less than thirty one, Okay, so more than in the

399
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: other two games. Absolutely. Ya, that's like you've probace his

400
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: right game there. He's gotta gotta beat up well, and

401
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: normally those guys win the prompt they do well. Tannehill

402
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: through nineteen times when he beat them November the tenth. Correct.

403
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: What do you think, Jim, I think it's less than

404
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: thirty one. I think it's in the twenty range. I

405
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: agree with Jim. I think it's somewhere in the twenties.

406
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: We're not getting anywhere close to thirty one, though. I

407
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: think it's close to thirty, if not over. Really, really,

408
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: I think they I think they have a chance to

409
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: have success throwing the football. Is there a point caveat

410
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: associated with that? Mike Keith No, okay, just I think

411
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: they have a chance to have success because these guys

412
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: haven't seen a J. Brown. Remember the first game, one catch,

413
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: seventeen yards, Corey Davis no presence. I think there's a

414
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: I think there are some chances in this game to

415
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: take advantage of matchups with receiver. Do you want to

416
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: get in a shootout with him? That's I mean, I

417
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: think it's not. I think it's a shootout regards. I mean,

418
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry ran for one hundred and eighty eight yards

419
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: in the first game in the Titans shouldn't have won.

420
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean, by all rights, if they if they convert

421
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: the field goal at thirty five twenty seven. We also

422
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: recovered a fumble, ran to fumble back for a touchdown. Yeah,

423
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: I think I saw Judy Battista said this team would

424
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: have to score fifty points to win. Well, I don't

425
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: know about that, yeah, but I'm willing to do whatever.

426
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: First of all, who is that No, Judy Battista, She's great.

427
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't watch any of this, but she's New York Times,

428
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: She's and we're in Nashville. I've never taken a hit.

429
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: I'm cutting this show off. I've never paid attention to

430
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: any of those. It's just getting good. But we won't

431
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: have to score fifty one. But I think you have

432
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: keith point. Okay, and again I want to interrupt here,

433
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: Mike Keiths point is he is correct in saying this

434
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: the genesis of this passing game. We all know where

435
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: it comes from, but we do have a chance to

436
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: take advantage of it. That's all I'm saying. I'm not

437
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 1: saying come out and go five wide. I'm saying I

438
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: think there are plays too, and they Hey, they made

439
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: plays in the passing game in the first half in Baltimore.

440
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: What do we throw four times the second half once

441
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: the lead was established. Don't get that, don't get that twisted?

442
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: Is you're one hundred percent right with m all right? Okay,

443
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: so how about some otpques Amy Wells, I've got them.

444
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: I have OTP cues and this is kind of the

445
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: international version, although we're starting in Alabama, so not yet. Uh.

446
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 1: This one is for coach Mac, but I would like

447
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: everyone's opinion. So this is Paul from Huntsville. He said, Mac,

448
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: you regularly talk about traits. Many people question the hiring

449
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: of Mike Variable based on inexperience as a head coach

450
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: and not much of on field success as a defensive

451
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: coordinator for a banged up Texans team. Can you talk

452
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: about Mike Variable's traits as a coach and what makes

453
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: him such a good and I believe great head coach.

454
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: First of all, that is that's a great question. I mean,

455
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: it's very insightful. But let me just say this. Every

456
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: head coach in the National Football League I've been one,

457
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: has to be a first year head coach sometime sometimes

458
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: it has to be your first year and so you know,

459
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: to say that, you know you're inexperienced. I mean, when

460
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: you get your first job as a head coach in

461
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: the National Football League, you've got a lot of experience.

462
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: You just don't have experience as a head coach. And

463
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: I said this from from day one, I think early

464
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: on with when with Mike Keith and with Amy Wells,

465
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: you know, just watching him on the field early he

466
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: reminds me so much of a man that gave me

467
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: my start in this business that I just respect and

468
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: really revere more than is Mike Ditka a great history

469
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 1: as a player, as a championship player, but just got it,

470
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: got the league, gets the league from a lot of

471
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 1: different areas. You've got a half dept as a head

472
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: coach understanding not just the excess and ohs of what

473
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: goes on there, so much more than that. That goes

474
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: into being a head coach in the National Football League,

475
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: and especially in this day and age. Mike Dicka commands

476
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: respect immediately when he walks into a room because of

477
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: what he has done. Mike Vrabel understands this league from

478
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: a player's perspective and from a deep player's perspective, the

479
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: way that he's got his finger on the pulse of

480
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: this football team. And I'm not just I'm not talking

481
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: about what he's putting on the blackboard for him. I

482
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: am talking about the way that he is getting has

483
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: gotten them ready since he's become the head coach and

484
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: since what he's established here. The culture that he and

485
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: John Robinson have established here, It's in concrete and it's real.

486
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: So those traits are much more important than anything. Look,

487
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: you can have good coaches that can have bad tenures

488
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: at places just because the circumstances aren't right. Are as,

489
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: he well points out, some of the players were injured

490
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: and hurt. This was a great hire. This was an

491
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: insightful higher by Amy, Adam Strunk and John Robinson. This

492
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: is not that I know everything, but you'll both admit

493
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: that we would stand there and I'd say, this guy's

494
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: a ball coach. You've said it. There's so much more

495
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: to be in and as coach Mike said, so well,

496
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean so much more to being a head coach

497
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: and just whether or not you're right on your fourth

498
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: and three calls, and whether you decide to go forward

499
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: or whether you're run Brett Kerrn on a trick play

500
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: that doesn't work, I mean, or the season. People are

501
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: wanting him fired for some of these calls, but you

502
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: got to look at the big picture and the way

503
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: he has his team buying into the plan each week,

504
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: and the way they want to fight for each other

505
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: and the way they want to fight for him and

506
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: the way he looks after him on the practice field

507
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 1: and has him primmed at the best time of the year,

508
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: and he has a great grasp on what the team

509
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: needs to do each week to attack the other team's

510
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: U ponies. Letting his coordinator's coach and uh, you know,

511
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: I'm with coach Mike Im. I think he's proven to

512
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: be a great coach and I think you've got a

513
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: lot of reasons to be optimistic moving forward with him

514
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: in charge. Dion from Melbourne, Australia. My question is what

515
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: has sparked this defensive performance over the last two weeks.

516
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: I know they're facing a pretty daunting task this week

517
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: in the Chiefs, but other than the return of a

518
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: Dory Jackson, what have you guys noticed over the past

519
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: two weeks. Jim, I'll start with you. I mean, I

520
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: just think that's the playing dem pieces put in. You know,

521
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, what he's done against Tom Birdie

522
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: and the Patriots or what he did against Lamar Jackson.

523
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: Just adjusting the plan each week. Obviously getting a Dorry

524
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: Jackson back helps. I just think across the board, guys

525
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: have bought into the plan and have just executed very

526
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: well and a lot of guys are playing well. It

527
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: goes back to our first answer for Paul and Huntsville.

528
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: Look this, this football team every week puts a plan

529
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: together that is complimentary football. They do exact actually what

530
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: they need to do with each with all three elements

531
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: of the team to beat the opponent at hand. And

532
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: that's why it's so good. Look, Dean P's he's a

533
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: master strategist, but this strategy that he has also incorporates

534
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: what is going on on the offensive side of the

535
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: ball and also with the special teams to beat a

536
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: particular opponent. Look, you can do is you can do

537
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: anything that you want on one side of the ball.

538
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: But if you're doing it independently of what's happening within

539
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: the context of a game plan week to week, then

540
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: basically it's not going to work. You've got to be

541
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: able to play complimentary football. And that takes a plan

542
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: by everybody. And it goes back to the leadership of

543
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: the head coach. Alejandro from Victoria, British Columbia. What player

544
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: or unit matchup is beautiful there right, maybe my favorite

545
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: place in the world, really, ma'am, Well, I didn't know

546
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: that about you make Keith. I just thought, you know,

547
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: you spent a lot of time in Canada, what player

548
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: or unit matchup are you most eager to see in

549
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: this upcoming game? And I would like to hear from

550
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: all three of you. Coach Mack, you start the matchup.

551
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: I think it's our secondary against this track team they've

552
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: got on the other side. The only thing that they're

553
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: missing to be a world class track team is a baton.

554
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: I mean they are. This group can run now wrong, No,

555
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: this group can run run, and not just one of them,

556
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: all of them. And so it's going to be very

557
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: interesting to see the concepts and the matchup of what

558
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: goes on, you know, with our coverage unit against those people,

559
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: because to be able to keep that many of them

560
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: under control is it's going to be a masterful job.

561
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's me. That's what I want to look at.

562
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: For me, it's how the Titans handled Travis Kelsey, what

563
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: they do with the tight end. He was the most

564
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: productive tight end in the NFL this year. He's the

565
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: only tight end in NFL history with four straight thousand

566
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: yards seasons. I mean, he's a weapon. And because of

567
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: the track team, that opens up so many things for him.

568
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 1: So what do the Titans do with him? I'm going

569
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: to be fascinated to see. Is it Byard is if

570
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: a Caro? Is it Jayon Brown? Is it a combination?

571
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: Do they do they put a money hooker on him

572
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: some is it some sort of double team. I'm gonna

573
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: be interested to see what they do. Yeah, I mean

574
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: those those are very intriguing to me too. I guess

575
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: I'll go the offensive side and just see how this

576
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: team is able to to move the football. Running the

577
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: ball again and without them with Chris Jones been a

578
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: big question mark for them. Um, he's dealing with a calf,

579
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: Is that right? Correct? And um, I think he should

580
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: take the week off. I care about his future, for

581
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: his own well being, for his own well being. My

582
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: thing is the young man needs to be well. He

583
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: may have some things he wants to do in the

584
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: coming months or in life or in life, So take

585
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: time on. It's just a game, that's all. That's what

586
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: we're saying to Chris Jones has always been a compassionate.

587
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: That's it. That's That's what I'm all about. That's why

588
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: I of all those humanitarian awards. So this team has

589
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: been able to move I'm an offensive lines did a

590
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: great job stud he is. Please please, so can this

591
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: team continue to do what it's done, moving running the

592
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: football with alphits of line against their defensive front and

593
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: he's a big part of it. I say that's pretty good. Yeah,

594
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: I'll promise you this. Steve Spagnillah is massaging his calf everything.

595
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: Chris Jokes is just a beast. Yes, he can rush

596
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: the path. I mean he has twenty four and a

597
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: half sacks the last two years and he plays the run. Yeah,

598
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: he's all right, he's fine. Oh, he's really good. Whatever.

599
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: Ake the week off, young man. Think about your future,

600
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: all right. Here's the last one speaking of well the past. Actually,

601
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: this is from Lauren in Bowling Green, Kentucky. She says,

602
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: do Mike Keith and Jim Wyatt look at this upcoming

603
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: game against the Chiefs a lot like when the nineteen

604
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: ninety nine Titans were about to go to the fourteen

605
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: and two Jags for the AFC after the Jag scored

606
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: sixty two in the divisional round before the Titans played

607
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: them at their place. She says, I was eight years

608
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: old old then and was at the Music City Miracle game.

609
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: But I was too young to remember the national media

610
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: talk and the talk around the town about how we

611
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: would match up against then, even though we had beaten

612
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: them twice earlier that year, just like we've beaten the

613
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs a lot recently. Thank you so a good point.

614
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: I remember Fred Taylor again, every time that the Titans

615
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: beat the Jags that year, he kept saying the Jags

616
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: had the better team, and then going into that game

617
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, after they had been on quite a role,

618
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: I don't think people gave the Titans much of a

619
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: chance then, So I do see some similarities there. I

620
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: think that's a good, good comparison. Well, and it was

621
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: supposed to be a coronation, that was the other part

622
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: of it. There was supposed to be no way the

623
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: Titans could stop them. The Titans were roughly a touchdown underdog.

624
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: They were going on the road, and it was supposed

625
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: to be a coronation because Jacksonville had been building up

626
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,719
Speaker 1: to that for four years. They had been building up

627
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: to that moment. They had a surprise in ninety six

628
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,479
Speaker 1: where they made the conference finals, but Tom Coughlin had

629
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: built something very special there and they probably were more

630
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: talented than the Titans but it was a bad matchup.

631
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: The Titans were a bad matchup for them for some reason.

632
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 1: And you ask, if the Titans win this game this week,

633
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: you probably will say it's largely because the Titans were

634
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: a bad matchup for the Kansas City Chiefs. If that

635
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: turns out to be what happened, Yeah, I've thought about it.

636
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: Sure interesting, it has the same it has the same

637
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: sort of feel well, and it turned out well the

638
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: last time. The temperature will have the same field as

639
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: we will not. It was warm down to that day

640
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: and it was supposed to be high of I think

641
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: twenty two on Sunday teams going down twenty two celsius

642
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: there that day in Jacksonville. It was quite warm, all right.

643
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna skip ahead because we've got to get

644
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: to Coach Rabel's press conference, and we've we've chatted a

645
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: good bit. So I'm going to ask the question I

646
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: asked last week, and I'm gonna let's get to Coach

647
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: mac first. Outside of Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry, give

648
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 1: me a Titans player who must have a good game

649
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: for the team to have a chance to win on

650
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: Sunday in Kansas City in the AFC Championship Game. John U.

651
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: Smith and the play acction elements in the middle of

652
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:18,879

654
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: I don't think they're throwing it over thirty one. I

655
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: think they're gonna throw it. They're gonna have to throw it.

656
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: And uh, I'm going to a J. Brown and with

657
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: the news. That's my intromusic. Excuse me, I need to

658
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: take this minute. It's Judy Battista. Let me just say

659
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: I want to be on the record to say it.

660
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: I love Judyta So I'm like, I'm like a huge

661
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: Judye Battista fans. So I don't want her thinking that

662
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: you didn't would you would really like her, would tell

663
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: her to call me. Okay, you got so many people

664
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: calling your she would love you. Actually, she would love

665
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: Coach mack Well, that's a high recommend. Probably she's a

666
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: talent man. Yes, I agree. I think either AJ Brown

667
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: or Corey Davis, I don't care who it is, can

668
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,959
Speaker 1: be both if they want to, but one of them

669
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: needs to have a day and put points on the

670
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: board for this team. Kevin Byard Kevin Byrd coming off

671
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: his best game of the year. The pick was great

672
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: because that's Byrd esque. That's why we know him as

673
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: the mayor of Murphy's Borough. The eleven tackles and the

674
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: fact that he played in the run game and that

675
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: he tackled the way he did. He and Vicaro and

676
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: Ryan and those guys were fantastic. They need another big

677
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: game out of Kevin Byrd. This is a game where

678
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: he can make the difference coming out of the sky.

679
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 1: That's mine. Yep, that's a good one. Are we ready

680
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 1: to do some what's brewing? Let's do it? Yes? Only fitting.

681
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: The great taste plant based beyond Sausage sandwich from Duncan

682
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: is here with ten grams of beyond sausage plant based

683
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: protein in between a toasted English muffin and delicious egg

684
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: and cheese. M Duncan has created a brand new way

685
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: to start your day, so you can add a plant

686
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: based boost to your mornings. America runs on Duncan Amy

687
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: Wells what is brewing with you? The outpouring of fan

688
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: support just overall has been truly incredible. I am going

689
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: to try and get through this without getting a little

690
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 1: weep be because I get myself all worked up every time.

691
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: But the way that this city has shown up for

692
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: this Titans team, the way that fans around the country,

693
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: around the world have shown up for this Titans team,

694
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: has been bananas. It's the greatest thing. I am so

695
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: excited that fans are getting to have this moment, are

696
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: getting to celebrate with this team as they have this success.

697
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: I just think that it is the greatest thing, especially

698
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: for fans who hung in here for so long. Like

699
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: Roddy's story at MBA who got up and spoke to

700
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: those young men yes and was reading his version of

701
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: the Raven and substituted Derrick Henry and then threw it

702
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: into the crowd. Roddy stories a guy who skipped. He

703
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: was he's an NBA graduate. He skipped to attend the parade.

704
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: That's awesome, and got twenty five demerits. Yeah you got

705
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,439
Speaker 1: a time school. But he was a student. And so

706
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: twenty years later he now goes to the games with

707
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: his son and his dad and he's up there in

708
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: front of those boys at NBA throwing it out to

709
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: them and they're all fired up. And those kind of

710
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: moments get me pumped up. I love that it's solid.

711
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: It's so cool. So for the fans that are wanting

712
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: to celebrate this Sunday, there's a million different places you

713
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: can go. Let me list them really quick. Arrowhead Stadium.

714
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: Arrowhead Stadium would be the first place. Go to Arrowhead.

715
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: It's going to be cold, wear a coat, but go

716
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: out to Arrowhead Stadium. If you are staying in Nashville,

717
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans will be hosting two watch parties, George

718
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: Jones and Nashville Underground. They both start at one o'clock.

719
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: Go to either one of those places. You can go

720
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: to the Outdoor Titan watch party on Broadway. Bring a chair,

721
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: bring a blanket, sit down, watch the game. Were a coat,

722
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: wear a coat. You can wear a coat to that

723
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: one too, or get on an airplane going to Kansas City.

724
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: We are going to be at Johnny's Tavern in Kansas

725
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: City on Saturday night. Saturday night, I'm very confused. Seven

726
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: o'clock is when that starts. It's the same place that

727
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: we were two years ago down Yeah, where Mike bore

728
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: it down. Mike and Coach Mac lit the place on

729
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: fire that night, So really did I was gonna say

730
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: I might whip that video back out. Still the greatest thing.

731
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: On a scale of one to ten, it was the

732
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: It was the greatest. It's one of the greatest moments

733
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: in Titans history. I said on the radio, we are

734
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: returning to the scene of the crime. We sure are

735
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: all right, Jim White, what's brewing with you? Well, I'm

736
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: kind of piggyback in off of Amy just as far

737
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: as the UH, as far as the excitement and things

738
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,640

Speaker 1: nine to two thousand and three stretch with this team

740
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,440

761

Speaker 1: have ended in touchdowns, only one has ended in a

762

764
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: I have two numbers for you, one hundred seventy nine

765
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: and two thousand, two hundred and nine. One hundred seventy

766
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: nine and two thousand, two hundred and nine. The Kansas

767
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: City Chiefs have scored one hundred seventy nine points outside

768
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: of the red zone eleven points a game outside of

769
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: the red zone. Track team two thousand, two hundred nine

770
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: yards after the catch, track team, track team. Both of

771
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: those figures are number one in the NFL. Ladies and

772
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: Gentlemen Tackle tackle tackle. If the Titans defense can keep

773
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: doing what they've done against a much faster opponent than

774
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: either of the last two, they're gonna have a good

775
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: shot to win this ball game. But it is much

776
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: easier said than done. Because this is an Olympic relay team.

777
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 1: They have great speed, They score from anywhere on the field.

778
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: They do great things with short passes. If this defense,

779
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: if Bayard and Vacaro and Ryan and Brock and Jackson

780
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: and Hooker and Brown and Evans and Crookshank and whomever

781
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: else is gonna play there can just get them on

782
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: the ground. Okay, catch it, fine, that's gonna happen. Get

783
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: them on the ground, make them drive the football. That's

784
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: the secret to this defense is they're talented enough that

785
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: if they can make you drive it, at some point,

786
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: Dean Peas is gonna get you. He's gonna get you.

787
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna force you to punt, he's gonna force you

788
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: to try a field goal, or he's gonna take it away.

789
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: But the first two games in the playoffs They've been

790
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 1: able to do it against receiving cores that are not

791
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: nearly as physically impressive as this group. And this is

792
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: the challenge of the ball game. To me, don't let

793
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: him have big plays, don't let them have the run

794
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: after the catch. That's what's brewing with me. I'm stressed.

795
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: Don't be stressed. He's a hundred percent right now. That's

796
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: the challenge. You've seen this defense all year. Spot tackle.

797
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: Gotta do it. He's talking about spot tackling, which is

798
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: what they stress. Here's the other thing, though, So the

799
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: Titans at this point, the other staff that jumps out

800
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,320
Speaker 1: to me, they've given up sixteen of thirty one third

801
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: down conversions to the Patriots into the Ravens. Five of

802
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: those five of nine are third and ten plus. Cannot

803
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: do that this weekend. If you can get Mahomes in

804
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:57,720
Speaker 1: third and ten plus, you've got to get off the field. Yeah.

805
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: Jim Whittt, how do people follow you on the social

Speaker 1: outside of one oh four five in Nashville will be

831
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:27,439
Speaker 1: Westwood One. That is the NFL's regulation because Westwood One

833
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,319

838
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: not your Titans radio station's choice. It's a league deal.

839
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: We apologize, but want you to know that upfront. Unless

840
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:57,960

00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: then get out of here. Wait a minute, these guys,

843
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,160

844
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: what's going on much better than the normal. That would

845
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: never happen. I hope, I know the dude's doing it

846
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 1: for Westwood One. Who Okay, not as good Kevin Harland Come,
