1
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: This is the OTP. I'm Amy Wells.

2
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 2: The Titans are getting ready to head to Houston to

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: take on the Texans in another division matchup. So of

4
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 2: course we had to bring in the pros from Titans radio.

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: Coach Mac is here, Brian is here. Hello, guys, how

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 2: are we today?

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 3: The pros?

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: You're the pros? That would be you. You are the professional.

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 4: Called wizards Legends.

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: Legends is actually what I wrote down.

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 4: You hadn't used that yet, No, but it's on the list.

12
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: You better believe it is.

13
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 4: If it's an alphabetical order, we just hadn't gotten to it.

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 2: Well, I was gonna leave that more for like halloweens

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 2: of Titans Radio.

16
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: Well, fel's appropriate a little later in the season.

17
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 4: It's a valid question.

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: You are the pro.

19
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: And so I figured we could use your your profess

20
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: insight on some of the things that are going on

21
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: around here at the Titans organization and also in Houston

22
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: with the Texans organization. There's a lot to talk about.

23
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: Both of these teams are zero to three looking for

24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,279
Speaker 2: their first win of the season. On paper, it seems

25
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 2: like there are some similarities, but I think there's actually

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 2: some real differences. So we will talk about all of that,

27
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 2: but before we get to this upcoming matchup, I think

28
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: it would be a mistake to not acknowledge the fact

29
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 2: that the Titans are about to go on the road

30
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: for their first of three road games all in a row,

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: two of which are West Coast games in Phoenix and

32
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas.

33
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 4: Mac.

34
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: How important does that make getting a win in Houston

35
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: to kind of kick off what's going to be an

36
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: exhausting stretch of football for this Titans team.

37
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: Well, the immediate week is what's important.

38
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 5: And so you know, really you're right in pointing out

39
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 5: that we do have three road games, but nobody's thinking

40
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 5: about the other two right now. I mean, right now

41
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 5: you've got to focus, have to focus everybody, all of

42
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 5: us on Houston, and then you take the next one

43
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 5: because you can't worry about that. I think when we

44
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 5: saw the schedule and we saw this is going to

45
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 5: be a three road game trip, you understand what that is.

46
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 5: I think that was a little bit of the idea

47
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 5: of going on that ten day journey that we went

48
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 5: on in the preseason.

49
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: So, but the focus right now is on Houston because

50
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 3: that's the.

51
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: Only place you can be right It's a division matchup,

52
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: so there's a little extra excitement about that.

53
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: And I do want to talk about these.

54
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: Two teams and kind of the parallels between the two

55
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: because neither one of them has gotten a win yet

56
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: this season, but not necessarily similar circumstances, even though it

57
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: appears like they have some similar issues, right, It's.

58
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 4: True when you look at I mean, we know how

59
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 4: the first three games have unfolded for the Titans because

60
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 4: we have been covering those and you know, pre snap

61
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 4: penalties multipleies per game, a couple of those in double digits.

62
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 4: Turnovers haven't been as much of an issue. There's there's

63
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 4: been some, but not like there has been before. And

64
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 4: then you know, the health of the offensive line, especially

65
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 4: on the right side, has been problematic. And the other

66
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 4: thing is just the lack of scoring touchdowns with regularity.

67
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 4: The special teams phase of this have really kind of

68
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 4: been the shining stars of it in what was completely

69
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 4: different a year ago. And John Fossil has come in

70
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 4: and restructured and put the foundation down for that, and

71
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 4: you see the guys involved that are his guys. They've

72
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 4: done an excellent job in that phase of things, not

73
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 4: just you know, Joey slide, being perfect on field goals

74
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 4: and all those kinds of things. But well, actually he

75
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: missed one. But anyway, not the record. He has Johnny

76
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 4: Hecker's great directional punny. You know, guys like Bryce Oliver

77
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 4: who's been a good gunner, and we need Bryce Oliver back.

78
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 4: We'll see what happens. But and then Dinard's Wilson's defense

79
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 4: has had its moments here and there, and you know,

80
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 4: Jeffrey Simmons is playing really good football. They just haven't

81
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 4: gotten to the quarterback and gotten him on the ground.

82
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 4: And that's what they're going to try to do in

83
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 4: Houston on Sunday. Now, the Houston Texans total different story

84
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 4: in terms of what phases is out marking others. The

85
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 4: defense has been the deal in this and they're they're

86
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 4: led by two excellent pass rushers and top draft pick

87
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 4: from a couple of years ago, Will Anderson and Deal

88
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 4: Hunter they got in free agency. Those two guys between them,

89
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 4: I think twenty nine pressures and five quarterback sacks already

90
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 4: thirty nine pressures as a team already, and they have

91
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 4: excellent depth positionally through the three tiers of that stuff

92
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 4: to be able to affect how these ball games are

93
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 4: That's the reason why. Yes they're oh to three, but

94
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 4: all three of their losses have been by a single

95
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 4: score in difference. And I'll go back to something that

96
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 4: mac mack and I do a lot of radio and

97
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 4: things together during the week, and Ma's right, it's the reason,

98
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 4: the reason why the defense is what it was. They

99
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: still have a quarterback who's under under a rookie contract

100
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 4: and it's not eating up thirty five percent of your

101
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 4: salary cap, so they were able to build this defense

102
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 4: to help keep this stuff involved. The offense is the

103
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 4: problem because, like the Titans, they've been looking for the

104
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 4: best five offensive linemen in this and they have four

105
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 4: from left tackle, left guard, center, and right guard. Four

106
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 4: new guys outside of Titus Howard who returns and is

107
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 4: at right tackle. They've been to the point where they've

108
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 4: been rotating guards in a game like last week, and

109
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 4: Ariante Ersrie is the starting left tackle, a rookie second

110
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 4: rounder from Minnesota. They traded away larrym me Tunsel to

111
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 4: the Washington and because of those things, not having Joe

112
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 4: Mixon and Nick Chubb is doing fine, but they're just

113
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 4: not putting points on the board. They don't have enough

114
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 4: opportunities because that's starting five on the offensive line has

115
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 4: had issues.

116
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: MAC when you're trying to when you have two teams

117
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: that are trying to get their first win of the season,

118
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: do you have to almost anticipate some extra things or

119
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: something that may be a little goofy or unexpected? Expect

120
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 2: the unexpected, I guess is the question, because teams are

121
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 2: going to throw just the book at the other team

122
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: to try and get a win.

123
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 5: No, what you want when your team's are only three.

124
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 5: Most teams, the ones that I've been involved with, when

125
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 5: you've had.

126
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: Get back to basics.

127
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: Okay, it's what you do.

128
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 5: You don't try to trick anything up. I mean, because

129
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 5: clearly things have not been going copathetically.

130
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 3: I mean, you.

131
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 5: Expect what you expect is some is some basic, basic,

132
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 5: fundamental football, because it's always what you go back to

133
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 5: when things are going bad. You don't you don't start

134
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 5: trying to make up new things because if you're if

135
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 5: it's not working well, the worst thing that you can

136
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 5: do is start start trying to make up magic tricks.

137
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 5: So they're gonna go back, it's gonna you're gonna see

138
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 5: two teams are gonna start trying to really play some

139
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 5: basic football and be able to protect two young quarterbacks.

140
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 5: That's the issue, you know, with both of these football teams.

141
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 5: Rent is right about their offensive line. They they've got

142
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 5: issues there with their offensive line, and that's the reason

143
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 5: that they lost three ball games. Because defensively they're as

144
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 5: good as there is in the league, especially pressuring the quarterback.

145
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 5: So I mean, I've watched done every one of their

146
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 5: games you know of you know, dialed in on them

147
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 5: pretty deep and the one score games. They're in every

148
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 5: every game. But the thing that's keeping them in the

149
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 5: games is their defense right now. And the thing you

150
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 5: don't want is you don't want your eye is to

151
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 5: start pressing and your young quarterback to think he's got

152
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 5: to do too much more and get out over his

153
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 5: skis even more than he.

154
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: Is right now.

155
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: So the trick isn't to get cute.

156
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: Don't get cute.

157
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 4: An example of what you're talking about, I mean, I'm

158
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 4: just going to jump in here for a second, hit

159
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 4: it rack. This would this one example here for the Titans.

160
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 4: Would that be Denard Wilson and the defensive staff working

161
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 4: on the tackling. The tackling was not great by the

162
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 4: by the team last week against the Colts and try.

163
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 4: And you've heard Denard Wilson, Brian Callahan and others talk

164
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 4: about needing to improve that.

165
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I mean, look, this team knows how to tackle,

166
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 5: or they wouldn't be here playing defense. But you've got

167
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 5: to constant, you've got to concentrate on it. And it

168
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 5: was costly. You know, it was costly last week. And again,

169
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 5: you don't go out there and you're not going to

170
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 5: put the pads on and do Oklahoma.

171
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 4: Drills every day. That is works.

172
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 3: This is nothing. This is not Travis Junior High Blue Devils.

173
00:08:59,400 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 3: You don't.

174
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: You just you just don't disappointing.

175
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 3: You just don't. You just don't do that. But they've

176
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 3: got to concentrate on it.

177
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 5: And understand that missing tackles in this league, because of

178
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 5: the skill of people that are carrying the football, misstackles

179
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 5: are devastating because all of a sudden, you've got you've

180
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 5: got yards gained and you're losing field positioned metrics for

181
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 5: no reason other than you're there and don't.

182
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: Make the play.

183
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: Man.

184
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: As somebody who never played football ever, I love an

185
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 2: Oklahoma drill because I never had to do it.

186
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, you never had to do it. That's exactly right.

187
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 5: If you'd ever had to do it, you probably would

188
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 5: have really fond memories of it.

189
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 2: Man, I just as a spectator, though nothing better.

190
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 5: Well, it's like the people in the Gladiators. You like

191
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 5: watching anybody kill somebody from the stands.

192
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 3: That's it.

193
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 4: That's it.

194
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 2: I don't know why I am this way, but I

195
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 2: really like it. Okay, when you bring Helman's creamy buffalo

196
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 2: chicken nip to the watch party, you can cheer too

197
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 2: loud or blocked the team, or be a couch coach,

198
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: and no one will eject you from the game.

199
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: That's a hail mayo.

200
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,520

Speaker 1: Tighten up. Now back to the OTP.

217
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: Speaking of gladiators, these are two teams that are very

218
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 2: familiar with each other, and so the fights that they

219
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: have are historically just doozies. The Titans and the Texans

220
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: always have great matchups, and Mac, I've asked you to

221
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: compile a list of some of the greatest hits of

222
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: Titans and Texans showdowns.

223
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: Do you have any that come to mind?

224
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 4: I've got five.

225
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: Well, that's great.

226
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 4: Let's go with October twenty first, two thousand and seven. Okay,

227
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 4: the Titans led twenty two to seven and halftime Houston

228
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 4: and quarterbacks say Rosenfields climb back in it with four

229
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 4: touchdowns in the second half. I was there, but yes,

230
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 4: you were. But the consistent part of this kicker Rob

231
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 4: Baronus was a massive part of the final score thirty

232
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 4: eight thirty six when he connected on field goals of

233
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 4: fifty two, twenty five, twenty one, thirty twenty eight, forty three,

234
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 4: twenty nine, and a final one for twenty nine in

235
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 4: NFL record eight field goals in a single game, a

236
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 4: mark that still stands today.

237
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 5: Kerry Collins made one of the best throws I've ever

238
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 5: seen at the end of that at the end of

239
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 5: that ball game on the sideline. I mean it was

240
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 5: that we were we were done. I mean, I was

241
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 5: in the press box. Chuck Seesil was a secondary coach,

242
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 5: and I thought he was going to jump.

243
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 4: I mean, and that's eight stories up, eight stories.

244
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 5: That was a second half was a nightmare for a

245
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 5: defensive secondary coach, a nightmare.

246
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 4: God four touchdowns in the second half. Eleven months later,

247
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 4: at Nissan Stadium September twenty first, two thousand and eight,

248
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 4: taking on Houston at Nissan, Texans quarterback Matt SHAWB was

249
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 4: absolutely tortured by the Titans defense, sacked three times, but

250
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 4: as a result of their consistent pressure, shawbed through three interceptions.

251
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 4: In fact, the final one minute and change, the Texans

252
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 4: had the ball at the Titans five year yard line,

253
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 4: third and goal. Matt Shaw was looking to Hall of

254
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 4: Famer Andre Johnson when all of a sudden at the

255
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 4: one yard line, Cortland Finigan picked it and took it

256
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 4: back ninety nine yards for a touchdown, final score thirty

257
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 4: one to twelve. Titans.

258
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, you put those two names together, there's a whole

259
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 5: lot that comes up, and that's these matchups.

260
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, more than just that play. But Matt Shaw

261
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 4: was just tortured because I mean, in fact, the reason

262
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 4: they were third and goal is the previous play, Kyle

263
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 4: Van Derbosch had sacked him for a one yard loss

264
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 4: right before all that happened. All right, so let's go

265
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 4: to let's see, I haven't gone in chronological order on

266
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 4: this how one of the early ones, and this is

267
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 4: the one that just kind of put an exclamation point

268
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 4: on Steve McNair's MVP year. This is December twenty first,

269
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 4: two thousand and three, at then Reliance Stadium. So the

270
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 4: Titans ended up beating the Texans thirty eight to thirty six,

271
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 4: and Dominic Williams hit the end zone from five yards

272
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 4: out to give the Texans a twenty four to twenty

273
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 4: lead with one forty eight remaining in the fourth quarter.

274
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 4: Then all these crazy things happened. Wacky plays, but Steve

275
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 4: McNair orchestrated in eight place seventy five yard scoring drive.

276
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 4: He hit Drew Bennett on a twenty three yard touchdown

277
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 4: in the back of the end zone on fourth and

278
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 4: ten Night night. Texans in fact Drew Bennett with the

279
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 4: sh telling the crowd to be quiet. It was beautiful.

280
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 3: That was what you try to do is get to

281
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 3: fourth and ten.

282
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's usually the goal is less than ten or more.

283
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 4: Right. How about October twenty first, two thousand and seven,

284
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 4: one of the more memorable ones in dramatic fashion, and

285
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 4: Mack was here for this one. December the tenth, two

286
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 4: thousand and six. Vince Young is a rookie and this

287
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 4: thing was tied. Chris Brown, the kicker Texans kicker, tied

288
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 4: the score with a forty six yard field goal with

289
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 4: two nine to go. It ends up going to overtime

290
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 4: and the Titans are sitting right there trying to get

291
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 4: it in to the end zone. Vince Young runs right

292
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 4: thirty nine yards walk off touchdown in overtime. Titans win

293
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 4: twenty six to twenty.

294
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 5: Richard Smith, defensive coordinator, called in all out zero blitz

295
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 5: on that play for the for the Texans and Vince

296
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 5: Young took one step and he saw zero blitz with

297
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 5: everybody's back turned back, foot hit.

298
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 3: The ground and the next thing he was in the

299
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 3: end zone with his helmet off. It was that you

300
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 3: talk about. That was chaos. It was chaos.

301
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 5: It was chaos with mister Adams coming down the escalator.

302
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 5: It was chaos in the locker room.

303
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 3: That was a lot of fun.

304
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 4: And this is for to underline what Max's saying. This

305
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 4: is his first trip back to Houston as a professional.

306
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 4: He's a native son of Houston, and I remember there

307
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 4: were many many Vince Young jerseys in the audience that day,

308
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 4: sprinkled in with all the Texans fans with uniforms and

309
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 4: gear on. It was huge.

310
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 5: It was a wild scene. It was a wild scene,

311
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 5: and it was a fitting end into that scene.

312
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 4: So I had four, not five because I can't count.

313
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 4: So there we are.

314
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: That's okay.

315
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: We don't require counting on this program. Those aren't a four?

316
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: Really good one really good ones. And Mac, you had

317
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: the infamous call.

318
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: Great job, Sloman.

319
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't know what else to say. It was

320
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 3: a great job.

321
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 5: He double doinked it, you know from the Division ten

322
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 5: Division title I mean at.

323
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 4: The end of the wildest year and the wildest times

324
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 4: of our lives and the COVID year at the end

325
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 4: of the twenty twenty season January of Yeah.

326
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 5: That's what we were broadcasting on the other side of

327
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 5: the stadium, completely opposite of the television cameras and about.

328
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 4: A fifty seventy five seat suite.

329
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: So we were with fully catered food. We had an attendant.

330
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: It was great.

331
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 4: It was lovely.

332
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: She was so nice.

333
00:16:58,800 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 3: She was great.

334
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 5: It was fully we had We had more food than

335
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 5: you could have anywhere. And we were eighty seven stories

336
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 5: up in the air on.

337
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 3: The opposite side and minus the seven.

338
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 5: And plus and plus it was where the sun was shining.

339
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 5: Because we were on the other side, we were blinded

340
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 5: for the first half because you couldn't even see.

341
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 3: I mean, you remember all.

342
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 4: That because it was a late afternoon kick. We were

343
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 4: in the dark when all of that happened. At the end. Yeah, yeah,

344
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 4: Henry ran for two thousand yards in that game, and

345
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 4: then Sam Sloman puts her through that doinks it through

346
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 4: the uprights? Yep, Yeah, great job Sloman. One of the

347
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 4: all time lines in Titan's radio history.

348
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 3: He had to hit every upright before it went in.

349
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 4: He did and it happened.

350
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 3: It was so great.

351
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 2: Well, guys, on that note, I think it's time for

352
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: a cookie break, brought to us by our good friends

353
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 2: at Christy Cookie. It's my favorite part of the show.

354
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: You guys are compelling, but I love a cookie break.

355
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: And today, my friend, is a special day because we

356
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: have white chocolate macadamia nut.

357
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 3: I like the mac part of it, and their Mac.

358
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 2: Cookies like the mac part, their white chocolate Macus have

359
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: a mac cookie.

360
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 4: Let me say this, Christy Cookies have been an institution.

361
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 3: Christy Cookies right here.

362
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 4: Absolutely, they've been an institution in the Nashville area for

363
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 4: i'd say probably in retail modern spaces four plus decades.

364
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 4: But this the white chocolate chip macadamia nut, that is

365
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 4: my favorite flavor of Christy Cookie. And they're all delicious,

366
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 4: but this one, Chef's kiss.

367
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: It's the greatest cookie of all time.

368
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 5: I'm reading this right here. They got a little thank

369
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 5: you on the back that they write before you eat

370
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 5: their cookies.

371
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean.

372
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 4: They're legit.

373
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 3: It's a legit place, it really is. Oh.

374
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 2: Their signature flavors, including the white chocolate, have little toffee

375
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 2: pieces in them. That's why they're so good and they're delicious.

404
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into this a little bit here.

405
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 3: Guys.

406
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 2: There's a big matchup on the horizon and the Tennessee

407
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 2: Titans would like a w So Coach Mac, I'm going

408
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: to start with you. What is one area where the

409
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 2: Titans can really make their presence felt against the Houston

410
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 2: Texans on Sunday.

411
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 5: They've got to be able to protect the quarterback because

412
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 5: Houston is going to take. The blueprint that these other

413
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 5: people have used is try to get the Titans behind

414
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 5: the chains and then just bring it. That's been the

415
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 5: blueprint so far. I mean, that's that's been what's happening.

416
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 5: So stay ahead of the chains. I've been saying that,

417
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 5: and it just I mean, it sounds simple, but when

418
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 5: you do it, you completely flip the mindset of your ballgame.

419
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 5: You're not constantly trying to chase the first down if

420
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 5: you can stay ahead of the chains, you've got a chance.

421
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 5: And plus RHTT just talked about Hunter and Anderson out

422
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 5: there on the edge. You need gate what they can

423
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 5: do because now you put them in a fifty to

424
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 5: fifty strut of having to play run and pass. You've

425
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 5: got to be able to do that offensively.

426
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: Rett, what about you?

427
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 2: Is there anything that the Titans can do to give

428
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 2: themselves the advantage or the upper hand on Sunday when

429
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: they take.

430
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 4: On the Ross. I'll go back to one of the

431
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 4: fundamental things, like Mack was talking about earlier. I think

432
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 4: the Titans' defense improving on tackling will help you because

433
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 4: if they can get the pass rush going against an

434
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 4: offensive line that has had some issues, then you can

435
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 4: give yourself a chance to make some things happen. But sure, tackling,

436
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 4: and you know it's something when Mack tells you the

437
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 4: season on the film, and certainly defensive coordinator Denard Wilson

438
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 4: points it out and his availability and Brian Callahan talks

439
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 4: about it. I think you start with that and work

440
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 4: from there.

441
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 5: The other thing that has to happen is is the

442
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 5: special teams, and I'm talking about all of them have

443
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 5: to continue the level of play they've had because the

444
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 5: level of play they've had has been winning football. They've

445
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,239
Speaker 5: got to continue that. And I'm talking about everything I'm

446
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 5: talking about to return. I'm talking about coverage. I'm just

447
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 5: I'm just not talking about, you know, kicking the football,

448
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 5: because I mean, we've got guys that are really good

449
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 5: at that.

450
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 3: But you've got to be able to.

451
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 5: Stay ahead of the field position metrics in this football game.

452
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 2: Bo Heardergrees taking over the play calling responsibilities from Brian

453
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: Callahan MAC Procedurally, how much of an impact is that

454
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 2: going to make throughout the course of the game.

455
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 3: Well, I shouldn't.

456
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, as far as just calling the

457
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 5: plays and those types of things, you still got to

458
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 5: execute the plays that are called.

459
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 3: Clearly, what will happen is now the head coach.

460
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 5: I mean, I've been in this situation before where you've

461
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 5: got a lot of other things you've got administer.

462
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 3: That will be that will be much that will be

463
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 3: much easier.

464
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 5: But you know, look, boheart agree that they've worked This

465
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 5: group has worked very closely together offensively for the entire year.

466
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 5: So it's not like you're bringing somebody in brand new

467
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 5: to do this now. The way that it functions on

468
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 5: the sideline that will clearly be different.

469
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: What's the key to kim Ward having success? And this

470
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: is a question for both of you, what's the key

471
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: to kim Ward having success this week against the Houston Texans.

472
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 3: They're blocked their front. I mean, you've got to block

473
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 3: their front.

474
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 5: Look, but both a quarterback success is completely dependent on

475
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 5: everything or else around him. That's what has to happen.

476
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 5: You've got to you know, they've got to protect. They've

477
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 5: got to protect it. But they not only not only passing,

478
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 5: protect they've got to protect it being able to move

479
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 5: the chains on down and distance. And that's how you

480
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 5: protect your quarterback. You give your quarterback options as to

481
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 5: where the defense has to have options that they're they're

482
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 5: worried about rather than knowing are just going to.

483
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 3: Dial in on one thing.

484
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 5: I mean, I've called a lot of defenses in this

485
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 5: league over my career, and if I only knew that

486
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 5: the offense could only do one thing, well, then that

487
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 5: really opened up things that I could do to them.

488
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 5: If I have to worry about run and pass evenly,

489
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 5: that's a different world.

490
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 4: I would say on Cam's part, because the protection is

491
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 4: where it all begins. But on Cam's part, don't be

492
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 4: a repeat offender of the pick that you threw to

493
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 4: start that game last week. And he doesn't show any

494
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 4: propensity to be a repeat offender that. But the real thing,

495
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 4: his real quality is his calm demeanor in nature. He's

496
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 4: unflappable back there, even when the Wolves are crashing the

497
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 4: gates trying to get in. If he can just maintain

498
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 4: that and not let the moment be too big for him,

499
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 4: which I don't believe that'll be an issue. There's some

500
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 4: things where he can. Can you complete a nice pass

501
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 4: down field and try to keep those chains moving and

502
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 4: stay ahead of those chains.

503
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 2: We've reached the part of the program where we talk

504
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: about upcoming matchups to watch, So what groups.

505
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: You're watching as the Titans take on the Texans.

506
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 2: But before we give hours, let's hear from our friend,

507
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 2: former Titans great Keith Bullock.

508
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 4: Here's the deal.

509
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 6: The matchup I'm looking forward to is the front seven

510
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 6: of the Tennessee Titans going against the offensive line.

511
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 3: Of the Houston Texans.

512
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 6: We know Big Jeff is gonna put pressure along with Sebastian,

513
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 6: Joseph Day and Arden Keeg, But in order for the

514
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 6: Titans to really get after CJ. Stroud and cause confusion.

515
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 6: Denard Wilson is gonna have to implement some of his

516
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 6: blitzing packages from linebackers and the secondary to give Houston

517
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 6: Texans a really long.

518
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 4: Day on offense.

519
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 2: Titans fans get fifteen percent off your little Caesars order

520
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 2: of fifteen dollars or more at participating stores using code

521
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 2: Titans fifteen. That's Titans one five at checkout Pizza Pizza.

522
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 2: That of course excludes taxes and other fees. Don't be ridiculous,

523
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 2: all right.

524
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: You guys, don't be ridiculous.

525
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 2: Use your common sense here, all right? Matchups to watch? Rhett,

526
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 2: you want me to start.

527
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: With you, you can.

528
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 4: I'm going to agree with you.

529
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 3: Only got two choices to start with, either me or Red.

530
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, so I give Red the choice.

531
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 3: That's right, Let's go Rip.

532
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 4: I'm going to concur with with Keith Bullock's little Caesar's

533
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 4: match up there to watch, and I'll finite go in

534
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 4: a little further. Jeffrey Simmons, who is playing really good

535
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 4: ball against the left guard area to the center area

536
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 4: of this Texans offensive line because Juice Scrugs and Lake

537
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 4: and Tomlinson rotated it left guard in this thing. Now,

538
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 4: we'll see if that's the thing again. But I like

539
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 4: Big Jeff's chances against an offensive line that's having trouble.

540
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: Mac, your turn.

541
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 3: Protect the edges.

542
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 5: The the edge of their defense is their strength. Protect

543
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 5: the edges. I mean, you have to do that again.

544
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 5: The way you do it. You've got to be able

545
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 5: to run the football or do something so that first

546
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 5: and second down give you third what you look at,

547
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 5: what you're looking for, please look for it. You got

548
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 5: to look for third and four or less. If you've

549
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 5: got a great percentage of third and four or less,

550
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 5: on say that the ten or eleven third downs you'll

551
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 5: probably have in this ball game.

552
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 3: You'll like that?

553
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: All right?

554
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,960
