Visit FBHP dot com with Amy 5 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: Wells and Rhet Bryan. I am Mike Keith. The Titans 6 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: have won five games in a row. They are now 7 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: five and two on the season. Up next for the 8 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: Titans a trip to Kansas City for Sunday Night football, 9 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: which of course is on Sunday Night kickoff from Arrowheads 10 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: seven twenty central, which means Rhet and Amy have Titans 11 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: countdown at six central. Are you ready for first down? 12 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: Amy Wells? Oh, I'm fired up all right? First down? 13 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: Is your play that turned the game in the Titans 14 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: when yesterday at Houston seventeen to ten. Well, Mike, I 15 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: think it was in the third quarter. It was Derrick 16 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: Henry's one yard run into the end zone four touchdown 17 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: put the Titans up fourteen to three. But let me 18 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: tell you why I think that was important. It's not 19 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: just that it separated the score, made everything a two 20 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: point game, like all of that stuff is fine, But 21 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: it also salvaged a drive that was just riddled with 22 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: offensive penalties. There were so many silly mistakes that happened. 23 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: You could feel the momentum kind of slipping away. It 24 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: felt like things were starting to unravel a little bit. 25 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: And then Derrick Henry just got mad and started running 26 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: over people. And that really was what this whole game 27 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: was about, was Derrick Henry kind of taking charge and 28 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: just running it down people's throats. That was the whole game, 29 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: and in that moment, it was kind of a microcosm 30 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: of what we had seen the entire day, which was, 31 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: no matter what, Derrick Henry's going to put this whole 32 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: game on his shoulders and just take care of business. 33 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: And that's what he did, and it really preserved the 34 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: momentum for the remainder of the game, and it set 35 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: the franchise record for career touchdown. Well, I wasn't going 36 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: to take the low hanging fruit, but yes, that was 37 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: also incredibly exciting and really happy for twenty two Willis. Yeah, 38 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: Henry goes hit standing up touchdown Titans. The franchise record 39 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: for touchdowns that verse seventy five for the King at 40 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: Tennessee has surged ten in front. There we go. Good stuff. First, 41 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: down continues with Rhett Bryan's play that turned the game. 42 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: Mine was much earlier. Six forty nine left in the 43 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: first quarter, the Texans have it third and five at 44 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: the Tennessee thirty four yard line. Davis Mills intercepted by 45 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: Christian Fulton. There's no score at this point where they 46 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: are on the field in position. It could have been 47 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: seven to nothing right there if they continued that drive 48 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: and could have had a different outcome. Christian Fulton with 49 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: a huge play and a big pick, just this one 50 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: right here. Bill's changing the play in the shotgun takes 51 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: the snap, Bill's firing and it is intercepted. Fulton with 52 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: the interception. Christian Fulton down immediately at the thirty one, 53 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: stepped in front of the receiver and picked off the pass. 54 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: And for Fulton it's his first I n T ST's 55 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: December against Jacksonville. He is played fantastic football. Christian Fulton 56 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: is Rhet Brian's guy who made the play that turned 57 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: the game. I'm going back to Derrick Henry for mine. 58 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: Titans down three nothing. Great job by Ryan Stonehouse, who 59 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: had an underrated game yesterday. Four punts inside the twenty. 60 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: He pens him defense gets him three and out punt 61 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: back to the Titans. Robert Woods a fifteen yard punt 62 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: returned back to the thirty seven yard line of the Texans. 63 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: So that complimentary football flipping the field. And then Derrick 64 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: Henry with one of my favorite of his all time 65 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: touchdowns from twenty nine yards out give it to Hendrate 66 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: twenty five, twenty fifteen outside of the Tad puts a 67 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: move onto the five, stiff arm dives over the pylon, Touchdad, Titans. 68 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: That was a man size run by day man Derrick Henry. 69 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: I don't see how he got in the end zone. 70 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: Doesn't matter, but I just I just don't see how 71 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: he got there. When I watched it back, it was like, 72 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: there's no way a human being should be able to 73 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: make those last five yards. But he just kept rumbling forward. 74 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: He's like a steam roller and they just couldn't stop him. 75 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: Of the other seventy four touchdowns that we've all witnessed, 76 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: it was impressive. I mean it was. It was a 77 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: thing of beauty. I mean, no wonder you had that 78 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: much excitement in this play that we just heard, because 79 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: many it was incredible a big man like that to 80 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: be nimble like that and you know big man with 81 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: a big man performance yesterday in Houston, and he in 82 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: that offensive line got it done well. The other part 83 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: of it, too is you got a sense. I mean, 84 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: it was a twenty nine yard touchdown, so the Titans 85 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: had not made it into the red zone. With some 86 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: of the difficulties they were having, you get a sense 87 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: if they got to run three, four, five more plays, 88 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: they might have just ended up kicking a field goal 89 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,239 Speaker 1: because it was like the operation was not as clean 90 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: after the touchdown you were talking about Amy to make 91 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: it fourteen to three, the operation got cleaner. And that 92 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: was what Malik Willis did well the last quarter and 93 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: a half is he ran the show better and there 94 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: weren't any problems. And as they got cleaner, that was better. 95 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: Early it was a problem Henry getting them ahead right 96 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,559 Speaker 1: there without having it to be an eight nine play 97 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: drive I think was a big thing. Yeah, some of 98 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: the bigger chunk plays that we saw really took the 99 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: pressure off of this offense and what they needed to 100 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: do because they were covering a lot of ground in 101 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: big moments and didn't necessarily have to To To your point, 102 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: keep running and running and running plays which can get 103 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: a little murky at times. Second down. The stat that 104 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: grabbed your attention Rhett Bryan six point eight yards per 105 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: carry Derek Henry. It's impressive. I mean, yes, he had 106 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: thirty carries. But the reason I say that, Mike, if 107 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: you look at his last four games and listen, I'm 108 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: ready to tell declare to everyone. He is back to 109 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: where he was pre foot injury. He was riding a 110 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: three game one hundred yard rushing street going into this. 111 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: He's averaging five point zero two yards per carry in 112 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: his last four games. That's Jim Brown type performance. Mike. 113 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: Mine was his two hundred and nineteen total rushing yards 114 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: in that game, which is impressive, not only because at 115 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: some point during this contest we're talking about we start 116 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: to approach league all time rushing records for a single game, 117 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: like we were talking about big numbers. We threw it 118 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: out with eleven minutes to go, he was at two thirteen. 119 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: And the reason we threw it out I debated it 120 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: because it's very much broadcaster jinks ish. There's a juju thing, 121 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: but at a certain point you also have to report 122 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: the news. And I understand, you know, when I'm calling 123 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: basketball and a young man or young woman has made 124 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: thirty straight free throws. I hate to say Jane or 125 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: Jim have made thirty straight free throws because I know 126 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: Klang is coming. I know there is going to be 127 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: a miss that will come. The thing that you don't 128 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: do when you do baseball is you're taught very early 129 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: on never talk about how fast the game is going. 130 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: If you say, hey, we're here in a one nothing 131 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: game in the seventh inning and we've played an hour 132 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: and twelve minutes, this one's just zipping along, You're going 133 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: to end up fifteen to fourteen in the eighteenth inning. 134 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: That's going to happen. So I know that is a 135 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: real thing. But there also comes a point where you 136 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: have to report the news. And the bottom line is 137 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: he's got eleven minutes to go in that game. He's 138 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: one long run away from threatening it, and guess what 139 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: he can do it. So I'm not talking about somebody 140 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: doing something that hasn't happened. I mean, you're talking about 141 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: a guy who in his career has nine touchdowns of 142 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: sixty five yards or longer, has eleven touchdown runs of 143 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: fifty yards or longer. He's in the ballpark at that point, 144 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: and so yeah, we brought it up, and yeah he 145 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: only gained six yards after that. But I don't think 146 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: it was because of any jinks. No, it wasn't a 147 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: juju thing. And I think bringing it up was important 148 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: because it was actually a possibility given what had been happening, 149 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: and get that game. And what makes it so crazy 150 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: to me is when the Tennessee Titans walked into NRG Stadium. 151 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: You knew Mike, you knew Rhet, I knew, the Texans knew, 152 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: God knew that Derrick Henry was going to be running 153 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: the ball a tremendous amount in this game. There were 154 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: no secrets. There was nothing happened that was like, WHOA 155 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: didn't see that coming. It was exactly what everyone on 156 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: the planet knew what was going to happen, and Derrick 157 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: Henry did it anyway I've never seen it happen before. 158 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: Amazing that we knew for sure that that's what had 159 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: to happen. Even the other three two hundred yard games 160 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: he had, we didn't know it was going to be 161 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: like that this. You knew they were going to give 162 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: him the ball thirty something times. It had a choice, 163 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: and yet the Texans couldn't stop it, Amy said, God 164 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: knew you made reference to that people on Mars now 165 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: so Martians and God knew everybody Derrick Henry was going 166 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,359 Speaker 1: to I mean she went a little further than I did. 167 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: He knew, well she did. Yeah. Anyway, my stat third 168 00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: downs Texans two or fourteen on third downs tight are 169 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: now limiting opponents to twenty five point six percent conversions 170 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: on third downs. That is half of what it was 171 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: two years ago. So they dropped it last year from 172 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: fifty one to the thirty seven and now it is 173 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: literally half of what it was two years ago when 174 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: they had the worst third down defense ever for a 175 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: team to make the playoffs. Crazy, wow, crazy, all right, 176 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: So I'll break in the action here at halftime of 177 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: the OTP four D for our friends at Duncan introducing 178 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: the Duncan Rewards program. The rewards you can really use, No, really, 179 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: use them on free donuts, coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Use 180 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: them on free donuts, coffee, and breakfast sandwiches again, because 181 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: these points add up, Save them, stack them, use them 182 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,479 Speaker 1: however you want. America runs on Duncan terms. Apply yum yum. 183 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: Adding them up sounds good. Adding them up from our 184 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: friends at Duncan. As we go to third down area 185 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: where the Titans must improve from yesterday, Amy Wells, I'm 186 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: fascinated to hear what you think of this. You're fascinated. Fascinated. Wow, 187 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: that's a lot of pressure. The one that I have 188 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: chosen is sacks. You can't let your quarterback get sacked 189 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: three times. And the reason that such a big deal 190 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: is Malik, obviously a rookie in his first game, needed 191 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: the extra help. Getting him sacked is not helpful. And 192 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: when Ryan Tannehill returns, he can't get sacked either. You 193 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: need to protect your quarterback at all costs, and as 194 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: the season goes on, it just becomes more important. That 195 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: is my area where the Titans need to improve. For me, 196 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: it's third down, and that's on the technicality because we 197 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: know Derek Henry was going to run the ball. We 198 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: know Malik needed all the help that he could get. 199 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: But third down you're going to have to convert third 200 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: down Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium because this is a whole 201 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: different ball to Wax. I hate to say the passing 202 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: game because I don't really think it's fair to judge, 203 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: and they didn't have to throw in the second half, 204 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: So I'm glad they didn't. I think that was smart. 205 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: But I set it going into the week when we 206 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: thought Ryan Tannehill might play, and I continue to say 207 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: it not so much based on what happened in Houston, 208 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: but they're going to be plays to be made going 209 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: forward off the pass game because of what Derrick Henry did. 210 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: It's gonna happen. They're gonna be there. The Titans have 211 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: to hit those plays. So that's not an area where 212 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: the Titans must improve from yesterday. It's just an area 213 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: where I think they've got to grow this thing going 214 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: the rest of the way. You could say third downs 215 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: on offense. I would agree with that, and you did 216 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: say that, but you know, they had three misses on 217 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: third downs in the fourth quarter when everybody knew they 218 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: were just basically trying to run the clock out. They 219 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: picked up some third downs when they needed it. I 220 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: think overall, you know, they had the two turnovers, but 221 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 1: they had the rookie quarterback in there. So it's like, 222 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: to a certain extent, you're grading the overall right now 223 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: of this team on a bit of a curve because 224 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: of where they were yesterday. And I thought, I thought 225 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: Malik did okay. I I thought what impressed me most 226 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: about Malik was that he operated the team in a 227 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: way that they needed him to win the ball game. 228 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: He didn't get a delay of game, he didn't drop 229 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: a snap and waist it down. They didn't have to 230 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: take a lot of needless timeouts with him in certain situations. 231 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: And it got better as it went on. And at 232 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: the end of the ball game, you weren't afraid. You 233 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: weren't saying, oh, please don't phone, Oh please don't drop 234 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: another snap, Oh please don't kick the ball. Because remember, 235 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,719 Speaker 1: this is a guy until he got here who had 236 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: never really gone under center. And so I think, to 237 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: see him in that way right now you say, okay, 238 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: it continues to be what we thought of him all 239 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: which he is. He's got ways to go, but he's 240 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: working at it. He gets it. He understands that he's 241 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: got a ways to go. The stage did not feel 242 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: too big for him. He was obviously knew this was 243 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: the first time that he was operating the entire offense 244 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: for an entire game. And of course he's going to 245 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: have some rookie mistakes. He's going to have an adjustment period. 246 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: But I will say he never looked scared, He never 247 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: looked overwhelmed by the moment, and he continued to improve 248 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: as the game went on. What was it like with 249 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: him around the bench? He was very similar to how 250 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: he always is, which I weirdly really appreciated. He wasn't 251 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: trying to be Ryan Tannehill. He was interacting with the 252 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: other guys on offense a little bit more than he 253 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: usually does, but he's usually a pretty Social's not the 254 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: right word, but he moves around a lot. On the sidelines. 255 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: He did a lot of that, but he was studying 256 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: with Todd downing the same way that he always He 257 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: kind of went through the same routine. If I was 258 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: just looking at him on the sidelines last week and 259 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: this week, I wouldn't have known the difference. And I 260 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: appreciated that he stuck to what he does, continued through 261 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: his process on the sidelines in between snaps, and he 262 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: just kind of ran the game the way that he 263 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: runs the game. I watched him a lot because I 264 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: was thinking that he was going to try to mimic 265 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill and what Ryan Tannehill does, and he did not. 266 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: He did what Malik does, and I thought that that 267 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: was a really wise way to approach the game. And 268 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: really he never seemed overwhelmed by the moment, which so 269 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: many times when you see a rookie who's just starting 270 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: right away, you kind of see him freak out, you 271 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: see the fear. There was no fear. Well, I like 272 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: to say, guys, go goo goo. Yeah, he did not. 273 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,239 Speaker 1: He clearly did not have that kind of a performance 274 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: at all, and read his job was not to lose it, right, 275 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: And that I think was what I would add to 276 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: this is that to underline what both of you were saying, 277 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: he did exactly what Mike Vrabel and this coaching staff 278 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: wanted him to do, to operate within the offense and 279 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: to have fun. And I think he did both all right. 280 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: Fourth down, your player of the game, Rhett Bryan, you 281 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: get to go first on this, and I'm not taking 282 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: the obvious in Derrick Henry because I'm certain that one 283 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: of the two of you would do this. Let's say it. 284 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: Don't take Derrick Henry. No, I've got who. I did 285 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: not pick Derrick Henry, okay. I picked Jeffrey Simmons, okay, 286 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why. One sack, two tackles, for 287 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: lost quarterback hit. And of course that's not even coaches film. 288 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: There's no tell him what stats really are. But he 289 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: played thirty eight defensive snaps, seventy percent of the snaps 290 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: on an ankle that basically kept him out of practice 291 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: all week, and he manned up. And if there's one 292 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: other person on the OTP forty that would agree with 293 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: me if he ever heard this, and that would be 294 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: guard Kenyan Greene of the Texans, because he pushed him 295 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: back into lab of Davis Mills on multiple occasions. Jeff Simmons, 296 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: My player the game, all right, Mine is Dontrell Hilliard 297 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: because I had about six and so I'm picking one 298 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: so as to stay within the rules of the game, 299 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,479 Speaker 1: because I get accused of cheating a lot, but I mean, 300 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: as you do. No, no, no, I just have a 301 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: lot of thoughts. Anyway, Hilliard eight attempts at rushing I 302 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: should say eighty three yards. I mean he had a 303 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: spectacular game, and given all of the success that Derrick 304 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: Henry had and all of the conversations about him and 305 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: what he was able to accomplish, I think that Hilliard 306 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: played one of his best games so far this season. 307 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: And it is very encouraging to me that we have 308 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: those two weapons in this Titans offense. For me, it's 309 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 1: the offensive line in the tight end. When you look 310 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: at what the rushing attack was overall, I mean, it 311 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: was absolutely phenomenal to see the Titans run it forty 312 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: five times for three hundred and fourteen yards, which is 313 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: crazy good. And one of those was a kneel down, 314 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: so they had forty four rushing attempts for three fifteen. 315 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: They did give up three sacks. One was early to 316 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: the veteran Jerry Hughes, and you could say that one 317 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: might have been on the quarterback. One was a no 318 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: yard sack where Malik was trying to get out of 319 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: the pocket, and because he only got back to the 320 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, it's credited as a sack, which is 321 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: kind of an ant. And then he gave up one. 322 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: They gave up one to Lopez, which you could also 323 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: potentially put on Malik for maybe not getting rid of 324 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: the ball. The protection was pretty good on the passing attempts. 325 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: They didn't have a lot of that, but when you 326 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: run block like that, that's crazy. So I mean, you've 327 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: got to go daily Brewer, Jones and Davis could have 328 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: Nate back by the way at Petit Frere and then 329 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 1: Swam and Hooper and a Conquo and Raider who just 330 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: did an outstanding job. That's crazy. I mean, to be 331 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: able to run the football like that in the NFL, 332 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: that is crazy. That shouldn't be, but it is, and 333 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: it was, and it's done, and the Titans have won 334 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: five in a row. Mike Keith, you just named eight people. 335 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: You're not wrong. Well, but I named you a group 336 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: of people because I couldn't name Derrick Henry. But I 337 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: think they deserve a lot of credit. On tomorrow Night's 338 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel TV show, We're gonna have a Derrick Henry 339 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: spoiler alert for the OT people. By the way, We're 340 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: gonna have a Derreck Henry six pack. Not so much 341 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: for Derrick Henry, but to let Mike point out some 342 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: of these blocks, because the holes were phenomenal. Now he 343 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: made some plays on his own. This is one of 344 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: those movies where everybody in the cast gets credit, and 345 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: that's got to be the case here. Derek was fantastic, 346 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: but and Don Trull was fantastic, But there was a 347 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: lot of help. There were a lot of second and 348 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: you could get the wide receive 's in there too. 349 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 1: Westbrook a Keene had blocks, Woods head blocks. Hollister had blocks. 350 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: I didn't notice Kindly as much, but I would guess 351 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 1: that he did as well. It was an impressive overall 352 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: effort to stay on people and to be as physical 353 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: as they could possibly be. It was a great game. 354 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. I had fun. It was the most 355 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: lopsided seventeen to ten game I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, 356 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: when you see the score, it looks like a close game, 357 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: and that game was never really close. Well, Levey Smith 358 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: said after the game, he flat outsend this press conference, 359 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: the score is misleading. It leads you to believe that 360 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: we were in this game when really we weren't. And 361 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: for him to say that, I think it's what a 362 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 1: lot of us were thinking. But I think that's the 363 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: reality of the situation. It looks like it was a 364 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: much closer game than what it actually was. Well, because 365 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: of two passage to Brandon Cook, congrats, who may not 366 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: be around to play the second game against the Titans.
