00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to Know Your Foe on Colts dot Com and

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: in depth wook at the upcoming matchup. Here are your

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: hosts Casey Valier and former Colts wide receiver Bill Brooks.

4
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: It is time for another installment of Know Your Foe

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: right here on Colts dot Com. I'm your host Casey Valley,

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: also joined by Colts Ring of Honor member Bill Brooks,

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: and today we are talking about the second meeting between

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: the Colts and Titans, doing so with Turan Davenport, who

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: covers the Titans for ESPN. Turan, I appreciate it taking

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: some time to talk with us. Yeah, for sure, Man,

11
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys reaching out. It's a pleasant well, of course,

12
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: you know, one of our favorites to talk to, especially

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: we're talking about this matchup. And you know, we saw

14
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: the Titans get the better of the Colts in week

15
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: three and then they follow that up with a pretty

16
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: big hiccup following to the Jets here in Indy. The

17
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: Colts fans kind of thought, hey, we could take advantage of,

18
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: you know, of a bad loss by the Titans, and

19
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: then they follow up by beating the Bills and the Chiefs.

20
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: I know, this is kind of a long winded question,

21
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: But were you more surprised by the victories over the

22
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: Bills and the Chiefs or the loss to the Jets.

23
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: I think the loss to the Jets was really one

24
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: that surprised me, just because going into that that game,

25
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: the Jets hadn't had a single lead throughout four games. Right,

26
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: I said, even though A J. Brown and Julio Jones

27
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: are out, they'll figure it out one way or another.

28
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's the one that surprised me. But that's

29
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: not to say these last two games weren't a surprise.

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: And that's one thing that this Titans team does. They

31
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: just have a way of playing down the competition but

32
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: also playing up to it. It's it's a unique thing.

33
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: And you know, my picks, I get all messed up

34
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: and jumbled. But we'll hope that it evens out, you

35
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: know that way, I look like I somewhat know what

36
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Right, That's all we could ask for,

37
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: you know, you want to be able to be somewhat

38
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: in the know. One thing about you know the guy

39
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: that's running the football there in Tennessee. Are are we

40
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: overlooking what he's doing? I mean, almost a thousand yards

41
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: through seven games. He could join some league company this

42
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: year if he wins the third continuing rushing title, joining

43
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: the likes of you know, Jim Brown, Earl Campbell, Emmett Smith.

44
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: Are we overlooking how good this guy is? Absolutely? And

45
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: whenever I'm asked about Derreck Henry, the first thing I

46
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: say is he's a Martian, like we're borrowing it. And

47
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: the thing is just so interesting about it is, I

48
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: have the privilege of going through each game day. I

49
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: get information from ESPN Stats and Info, and I swear

50
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: to you every week Derrick Henry has some type of

51
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: stat that puts him in line with Ladanie and Thomlinson,

52
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: Jim Brown, Eric Dickerson. Yeah, he's being overlooked. And the

53
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: thing that's even funnier about it is I asked Ryan

54
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: Tannehill about this and he's, oh, well, that's just Derek

55
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: being Derek. But even his own teammates overlooked. Just actually

56
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: what this guy is doing. And it's just crazy. You

57
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: look at he's on pace for over four hundred and

58
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: fifty carries, on pace to break the rushing record single

59
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: seat and back to back two thousand yards seasons, and

60
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: we're just acting like it's a typical, you know, season

61
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: for Derek Henry. So that tells you right there. You know,

62
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: you mentioned that he's on the pace to set the

63
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: rushing record as far as attempts with that, is there

64
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: any concern with the Titans that they're overusing Henry is

65
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: especially by the end of the year, that they might

66
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: rush him too many times. That's always the question that

67
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: comes up and tied down. And recently he was asked

68
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: about the balance of Derreck Henry's carries and making sure

69
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: that he doesn't get too many and he said the

70
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: only balance that he's concerned about is winning. And he said,

71
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: when we give Dereck Henry the football, we win. So

72
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: that pretty much tells you right there. Mike Rabel has

73
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: started to manage him a little bit differently as far

74
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: as consistently giving him a third day off, sometimes two

75
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: days off. But the bottom line is this Derreck Henry.

76
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: You see what he does on social media as far

77
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: as the training part of it and to build up

78
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: into the season. But what's really overlooked and that wrote

79
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: about this recently is the recovery process. He does a

80
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: lot of the hyper hyperbolic chambers, the cryotherapy needling, active release, training,

81
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: a whole lot of recovery, and he's one of those

82
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: rare athletes that puts as much into recovery as he

83
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: does into training. And that's why you see him just

84
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: continue to just take that that beating or that pounding

85
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: and come back and get more carries. Yeah, you know,

86
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: he's talk about coming back. You know. A. J. Brown

87
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: got off to a slow start this season, but over

88
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: the last two weeks his production has picked up. Is

89
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: this timing and chemistry between Tannehill and Brown starting to

90
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: click right now? It is starting to click. But they're

91
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: also seeing Brown become healthier. He had food poisoning before

92
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: the Bills game on Monday Night Football a couple of

93
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and that weekend he lost eight pounds and

94
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: he it is kind of weak. He had to get

95
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: IVS and those things. And then, ironically, at the same time,

96
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: he was dealing with a handstring injury. So you know,

97
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: when you're losing all your fluids and you have a

98
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: soft tissue injury, that's a terrible mix. But he's managed

99
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: to work through it. And I think really what's going

100
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: on is he's more comfortable catching the football again, and

101
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: that's One of the things when you look at a

102
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: j Brown that I love is the fact that he

103
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: accelerates through the catch and Billy, you know what I mean.

104
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: Where you have some receivers but they slow down they

105
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: catch the ball and then they take back off. He

106
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: accelerates right through it and that's how he gets through

107
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,239
Speaker 1: the jars after the catch. You're seeing that start to happen.

108
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: And then the last couple of weeks, teams have been

109
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: so focused on stopping Derrick Henry that that play action

110
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: those linebackers step up. That opens up a little bit

111
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: more of a window and gives them a little more

112
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: opportunity in space to get those jars after the catch.

113
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: That's what you're seeing. We're talking with Turn Davenport, who

114
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: covers the Titans for ESPN. Final thing on the offense,

115
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. I don't know if he's looked maybe not

116
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: as sharp as he has in twenty twenty and last

117
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: year he had thirty three touchdowns and just seven interceptions.

118
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: This year he's already got five picks. Do you think

119
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: there's something different going on here in twenty twenty or

120
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: is it just you know, it's just the way the

121
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: football is going right now. You know, he's had some

122
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: accuracy issues, honestly, that's that's the big thing that I've seen.

123
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: There were a couple of parances where for some reason

124
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 1: they're sailing on him. He's still an interception against Buffalo

125
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: was a same route to Julio Jones, and first he

126
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: was late on it and then second has sailed on

127
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: him and the safety it was, Jordan Ployer, was able

128
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: to swoop in and pick it off. So those are

129
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: some issues that are emerging. I think, still trying to

130
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: work into sync with with Julio Jones or something else.

131
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: And just I mean there've been some drops, so AJ

132
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: Brown's behalf two, so all of that just kind of

133
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: factors in. He's had some issues holding the football too long,

134
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: but also just getting rocked within three seconds after the

135
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: balls hikes, so it's a combination of things. But he

136
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: is starting to come around. He had twenty one consecutive

137
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: completions between the end of the Bills game and the

138
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: beginning of the Chiefs game. So that's a good thing

139
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: for Tannehill, and you know, for his sake, hopefully that

140
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: accuracy continues to carry over because they're gonna need him

141
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: to step up with everything focused on stopping Derrick Henry

142
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: now switching over to the defensive side of the ball.

143
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: The Titans invested a lot in the pass rush during

144
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: the offseason, bringing in Bud Dupree and then you know

145
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 1: a guy the coltsnove here very well, Denico Autry, looks

146
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: like you know, the last couple of weeks got nine

147
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: sacks and three weeks truly coming together. Yeah, I'll say this,

148
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: de Nico Autry is not a man of many words,

149
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: but it's fun watching him play the violence that he

150
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: plays with, and he's been a big factor just in

151
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: this pass rush, the emergence over the last couple of

152
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: weeks and one of the things that they've started to do,

153
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: and I really like this. I actually I have a

154
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: weekly on on the ESPN dot com. I do a

155
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: video called Whiteboard Wednesday, and I highlighted what I'm about

156
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: to talk about today, and it's a different package that

157
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: that um they they did, and that they have bud

158
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: Dupree and Utry on the outside with Jeffrey Simmons on

159
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: the inside. We typically know that's how they look, but

160
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: then you have Harold Landry a little bit off the

161
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: ball and the inside as well, and they just mix

162
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: that up a whole lot of different ways, and that's

163
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: one of the ways that they're you know, being able

164
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: to get pressure on the quarterback. And then you look

165
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: at last week against the Chiefs, they did that, you know,

166
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: those four guys and the stunts in different twists and

167
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: games up front and then sometimes just letting your guys

168
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: on the outside just run the arc and hunt, and

169
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: they were able to get eighteen QB pressures they only

170
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: blitzed once. Being able to consistently drop sabbling into coverage

171
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: against the Kansas City Chiefs is a big time thing

172
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: is going to help you. So the pass rush is

173
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: definitely coming along. And there's another guy by the name

174
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: of tr Taught, the defensive tackle number ninety three. He's

175
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: gotten a lot better too, So you're you're seeing all

176
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: of that coming to playing. The fast rushes definitely stepped

177
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: up over the last a couple of weeks. For sure.

178
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: You mentioned Harold Landry. You know, Harold Landry's second and

179
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: league in sacks with seven and a half and he's

180
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: on pace for a career high in both sacks and tackles.

181
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: Can you talk about his play this year and what

182
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: he's meant to this defense. Yeah, absolutely. And the thing

183
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: the first thing that you have to mention about Landry

184
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: is the fact that he plays almost all the snaps.

185
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: Last time I checked it, he had he played about

186
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: ninety four of the snaps this season. He played ninety

187
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: eight percent last year. So the first thing is stanima

188
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: and endurance, and he doesn't get hurt, you know, so

189
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: you talk about that. But this year, what's happening. You're

190
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: seeing this man finished. He's getting to the quarterback and

191
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: bringing him down, and I think that's a big thing,

192
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: just a part of his overall impact. But then they're

193
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: dropping him back into coverage. They're having him, you know,

194
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: matchup against tight ends and goalie situations and those type

195
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: of things. You know, that's a big part of it.

196
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: He us was a pretty strong force against the run.

197
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: But I think this overall with Landry that the difference

198
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: he before we always just you know, relying on that

199
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: speedball coming off the edge, you know, the fans ball,

200
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: and he wasn't allowed to use that. In training camp,

201
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: the new outside linebackers coach Ryan Crowe said, you're you're

202
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: not using that. We're gonna we're gonna table that you

203
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: need to work on other moves and he started to

204
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: develop other ways to get to the quarterback, kind of

205
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: like an inside counter to you know, be a different

206
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: look on top of the speed run. So he's definitely

207
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: a shown vast improvement. And ironically he's in a contract year,

208
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: so somebody, somebody's gonna open up that check book exactly now.

209
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: You mentioned coverage earlier, and the Titans have we ramped

210
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: that secondary this offseason and I know they have had

211
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: a couple of injuries this season with that group, But

212
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: has this group met expectations of coach Rabel. I'm not

213
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: gonna say they met expectations because you still have the

214
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: tendessee to give up the explosives. They've given up six

215
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: passes of forty yards or more, which is third in

216
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: the NFL, so that's definitely an issue. There have been

217
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: some some coverage issues earlier in the season that was

218
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: a huge problem, but they've kind of tabled it a

219
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: little bit. So I would say they haven't met his

220
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: expectations because, like any coach, Mike Vrabel ones perfection and

221
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, at least close to it, so there's still

222
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: a lot to be desired. The one thing that is

223
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: happening is they're finally starting to challenge receivers at the

224
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. It's not where you generate that little

225
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: bit of chatter to make the quarterback come off that

226
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: first read that gives the guys up front a little

227
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: bit more time to get home. So that is an

228
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: aspect they've gotten better with. Well, final thing with your

229
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: Turan who covers the Titans for ESPN, you know, what

230
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: are your expectations for Sunday? And then you know, based

231
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: on you know, it looks like if the Titans get

232
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: a victory, it's almost a surefire thing they're gonna win

233
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 1: the AFC South. Where do you envision the AFC South

234
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: when January rolls around with this Titans team? Yeah, I

235
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: think the Titans they're gonna win the division. But this Sunday, man,

236
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna remind me of Rocky four right again,

237
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: Ivan Drag Go. Two heavyweights that's going at it. And

238
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: that's that's something I love about about these two teams.

239
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: They're so physical. I appreciate that physicality, you know, and

240
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: and Jonathan Taylor running the football, that offensive line, and

241
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: then that that defensive front that they have backed up

242
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: by Arias Lennard. You know, no, Julian Blackman is obviously

243
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: going to be an issue. But I like what the

244
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: Coats bring to the table, and I think it is

245
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: gonna be just It's gonna be a fight, and I

246
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 1: don't think that either team is gonna pull away by

247
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: more than seven points. But I do have the Titans

248
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: winning that game. There you go. Turn Davenport covers the
