1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: The Titans are getting ready to go on the road

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: to take.

3
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 2: On the Las Vegas Traders, So we're going to talk

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 2: about it right here on the OTP. I'm Emmy Wells,

5
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 2: joined by Titans Radio's very own Will Bowling.

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 3: Will.

7
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: This is the third of three straight road games overall.

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: My friend Daryl Hughes calculated it here the team will

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 2: have traveled while I fixed my microphone, the team will

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: have traveled a total of seven three hundred and eighty miles.

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: Are you feeling those miles as it stands today?

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 4: I think I'm feeling them a little more now that

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 4: I know how many that we have traveled in are traveling.

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 4: I was talking to somebody about this this morning, because

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 4: I get it even more about the stresses and the

16
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 4: physical I guess toll that a.

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 3: Western season has.

18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 4: I had this conversation last year on our radio show

19
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 4: about like, I don't get it.

20
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: These are pro athletes.

21
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 4: They've got nice hotel accommodations, They're on a chartered plane.

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 3: They're going in and out.

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 4: It's more about how it affects the next week when

24
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 4: you are getting back at midnight and then all of

25
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 4: a sudden, your alarm clock's going off a little bit

26
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 4: later because you don't have to be in the facility

27
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 4: is early on Monday, and then Monday is a bit

28
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 4: more sluggish, and then you come in Tuesday and you're

29
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 4: still not totally feeling. All of a sudden, it's Wednesday

30
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 4: and it's like, you know what, let's take practice a

31
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 4: little bit lighter today. We're gonna work our way back

32
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 4: in this. And then it's Thursday and it's like, hey,

33
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 4: the Las Vegas Raiders are about to play you and

34
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 4: host you, and they are attacking this week differently, and

35
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 4: they just came off a big loss and you just

36
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 4: got to win, so they got to prove a point.

37
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 4: All this to say, yes, definitely feeling it, but in

38
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 4: a fun way. It has been such a blast this

39
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 4: month and going on the road with this team and

40
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 4: learning about them and being around them so much to

41
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 4: get into so much fun and glad to talk about

42
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 4: a win as well.

43
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: It is really funny that you mentioned that, though, because

44
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: in April May, I guess when the schedule comes out,

45
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: and we saw all of these road games, and we

46
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: saw all of these West Coast games back to back

47
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: like this, everybody in like kind of the media and

48
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: Content Creation World went, oh no, because to your point

49
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: about Mondays, it's not the it's not the game, right,

50
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: it's not even really the travel.

51
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: It's the way that it bumps everything else back.

52
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: And so all of the sudden, your Monday is like

53
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: half a Monday, and everything else has like a quarter

54
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: more stuff from Tuesday to Thursday, and then everybody's going

55
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: on the road again, and we've got to do the

56
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 2: whole thing over. So it just it changes the cadence

57
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: enough to be jarring. The nice thing is that these

58
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: games have been three h five locally, but wherever they're playing,

59
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: it's still like a noon game, noon one o'clock game,

60
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: So it hasn't been so jarring to where you're doing.

61
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: Mornings and nights and evenings.

62
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: And all of that, sure, which is really nice. So

63
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: at least the routine is there of like you wake

64
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: up in the morning, you get on the bus, you

65
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: go play the game, and then you go home. You

66
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 2: don't have a lot of wasted daylight throughout the day.

67
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 4: And for a young team, that routine matters because, like

68
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 4: as you said, in the time zone that you're in,

69
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 4: it feels the same as being in Indianapolis or being

70
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 4: in Nashville, right where the timeline of the day is

71
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 4: really just bumped back one hour to one oh five

72
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 4: in Vegas versus noon in Nashville. So for a young

73
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 4: team that's getting used to being pros and not always

74
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 4: being in a bus, so sometimes driving to the game,

75
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 4: you know, if it's at home, and just like little

76
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 4: things like that you don't think about. I feel like

77
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 4: I've started to think about more now that I'm in

78
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 4: that routine with the team, and it's one of those

79
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 4: perspectives I feel like I've gained of like oh wow,

80
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 4: like that alarm clock on Monday still hits at the

81
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 4: same time, regardless of when you got home from the

82
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 4: game before, so all good things. I'd rather be tired

83
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 4: talking about football than energized talking about literally like anything

84
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 4: else in the world than maybe my wedding, and so

85
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: that is that's a good place to beat the semi year.

86
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely, so I know we have football has definitely turned

87
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: the page. We are going to talk a lot about

88
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Raiders, which is how it should be.

89
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: But I do want to get a couple of your

90
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: thoughts on the win over the Arizona Cardinals, because there's

91
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 2: just so much to talk about.

92
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, speakers, that would have.

93
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 3: Been a fantastrophe, would have been even more to talk about.

94
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: I would have done so much to talk about.

95
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 2: I want to talk about cam Ward and his performance

96
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter because it was so starkly.

97
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: Different to those first three quarters.

98
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 2: How do you think that having that final quarter be

99
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: a really good just showing of football and what he's

100
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: able to do, then the team gets the win. How

101
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,239
Speaker 2: is that experience going to translate into the next game

102
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: and hopefully multiple games.

103
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think from from two different ways, that fourth

104
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 4: quarter was really meaningful. First, from the football perspective, I

105
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 4: think cam Ward gained a lot of trust in his

106
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 4: pass catchers, who made some big plays with the ball

107
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 4: in their hands. I think in his offensive lineman because

108
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 4: he had some clean pockets to throw from in that

109
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 4: fourth quarter. And I just think in himself and in

110
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 4: the system because cam wasn't always throwing the vertical route

111
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 4: and hunting downfield. My favorite play, maybe in that whole sequence,

112
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 4: is a three yard route to Chigakonquo where he headfakes

113
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 4: and hesitates around two Cardinals defenders and picks up a

114
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 4: first down along the sideline. I was standing right there.

115
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 4: It's like, how in the world did he get away

116
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 4: from those guys? And I think those types of moments

117
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 4: are a lesson to Cam to say, all right, sometimes

118
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 4: I can get a fifteen yard gain by completing a

119
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 4: five yard pass to Chig and letting him just embarrass

120
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 4: two Cardinals defenders in space, and we can create explosives

121
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 4: in the pass game without me having to throw at

122
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 4: twenty yards down the field through the air. So I

123
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 4: think that's the trust that just has to be gained

124
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 4: and created in real game action. I think the offensive

125
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 4: line piece of it. I think this offensive line is

126
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 4: really starting to come together. Brian Callahan was super complementary

127
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 4: of that group this week to talking to the media,

128
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 4: and the center guard triangle, as coach Mack likes to say,

129
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 4: in this game allowed zero pressures in zero sacks.

130
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: Wow.

131
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 4: Between Peter Skronsky, Lloyd Kushienberry, and Kevin Zeitler, you were

132
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 4: seeing those three really starting to come on strong. I

133
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 4: think only Udo has done a really admirable job at

134
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: right tackle. The state of backup offensive line play in

135
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,799
Speaker 4: the NFL is not very good. Titans have solid backups

136
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 4: right now, and when Blake Hans was in there too.

137
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 4: I think he deserves some of that credit as well.

138
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 4: And Dan Moore, I think is starting to come into

139
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 4: his own as well and get used to things on

140
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 4: the left side. But then I think there's the non

141
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 4: football piece amy where that sideline wasn't super down, and

142
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 4: I set a hit about that early in the second

143
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 4: quarter to talk back to the guys and say, like, guys,

144
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 4: like you wouldn't know this score is twenty one to

145
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 4: three based on the sideline right now. And Tony Pollard

146
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 4: after his fumble went up to every member of his

147
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 4: offensive line and shook their hand and said, my bad.

148
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 4: And Cam is hyping guys up in Peter Skronsky and

149
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 4: Jeff's coming over talking like there's communication on the sidelines,

150
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 4: there's there's genuine given take cappening. Nobody's yelling at each other,

151
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 4: nobody's upset, nobody's stressed, there's frustration. But I felt like

152
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 4: that was foreshadowing to then what happened in the fourth

153
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 4: quarter that they didn't get down, they didn't get outside

154
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 4: their plan, they made adjustments, So that to me was validation,

155
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 4: was vindication of like, all right, this plan is working.

156
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 3: They've got to executed.

157
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 4: It's got a click, and maybe there's some things to

158
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 4: build on on on and off the field. I think

159
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 4: in that fourth quarter that is really exciting going into something.

160
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 2: When you bring Helman's creamy Buffalo Chicken dip to the

161
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: watch party, you can cheer too loud, or block the TV,

162
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: or be a couch coach and no one will eject

163
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: you from the game. That's a Hail Mayo. Hellman's the

Speaker 1: Now back to the OTP.

181
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 2: I think it's underrated how much you can sclean from

182
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: how a team is going to perform by their body

183
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: language and their mannerisms on the sideline. No, don't, and

184
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: that might just be from sideline reported to say live reporter, like,

185
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 2: of course it's so important.

186
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: But really, the.

187
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: Amount of times that I've been able to look down

188
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 2: a bench and say, these guys just they're not into

189
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: it today, and then they lose the game, or you

190
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: look and you say, these guys are ready to play.

191
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: You can just tell by the.

192
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: Routine, by the motions they're going through, by the way

193
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: they're engaging with one another. You can tell when a

194
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: team is locked in, and even if things aren't going

195
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 2: their way. It doesn't mean it doesn't necessarily mean that

196
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: it trans translates on the field all the time. But

197
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: there is a dramatic difference between a team that is

198
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 2: locked in and ready to play and a team that

199
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 2: is pretty much disengaged.

200
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 4: I agree, and I think cam Ward is the catalyst

201
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 4: of all of it. To be honest with you, I

202
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 4: think he is not only communicating clearly with his teammates,

203
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 4: but every time he's done talking with Bohart agree on

204
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 4: the bench, he is standing at the front of the

205
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 4: white paint cheering on the defense. And there was a

206
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 4: play that Jalen armor Davis made in this game where

207
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 4: he had a pass breakup on a third down and

208
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 4: cam Ward is the first guy like helping him up

209
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 4: on the sideline. Like, I know that's a little thing,

210
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 4: but I think Titans fans can feel comfort in the

211
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 4: leadership they have on this football team. And Jeffrey Simmons

212
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 4: has backed up everything he said he was gonna do

213
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 4: in preseason.

214
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 3: He's playing at a defensive player at the year level.

215
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 4: Cody Barton has been such a good veteran stabilizing force

216
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 4: in the linebacker room. But the guy I think on

217
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 4: the defense as well that really picked up the leadership

218
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 4: baton as well was Lugerious Neat in this game, and

219
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 4: that play that I know he doesn't get a hand

220
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 4: on Amuri de Mercado when he just tosses the football

221
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 4: out of the back of the end zone, which I

222
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 4: genuinely could not believe. Just so many things happen to

223
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 4: this game that's like, I'm not see that in a

224
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 4: whole season and it happened in one game. Yeah, but

225
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 4: the way Lagerius was embraced on the sideline was a

226
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 4: major spark.

227
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 3: And I talked to Kevil Winston Junior.

228
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 4: About that in the locker room yesterday and he talked

229
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 4: about it as like that was that was it, That

230
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 4: was the spark, That was the moment that got us all,

231
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 4: you know, even more engaged. So yes, well, there was

232
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 4: not a toxicity. There wasn't over you know, over frustration

233
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 4: maybe if that's a word. On the sideline of the

234
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 4: first quarter, it went to another level of like, all right,

235
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 4: now let's go win it once that play happened, which

236
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 4: I thought was was really cool for Sneed, a guy

237
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 4: that has been through so many injuries, has had to

238
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 4: battle and it's had to work to get back in

239
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 4: the field. The physical therapy is work like that is

240
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 4: a workout to get yourself healthy again with all that

241
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 4: he's been through, and it was really cool to see

242
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 4: that paid off in a big moment on Sunday.

243
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: So Calli's been talking about how this team is one

244
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 2: and O right now.

245
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: They week to week, it's just being one.

246
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: And O for one week to the next, How do

247
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: you think that mindset helps them not only when coming

248
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: off of a string of games that they wish had

249
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 2: gone their way, but also when coming off of a win.

250
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 4: I think it makes a big difference, especially in a

251
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 4: week where you don't have a lot of time to

252
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 4: really think about it. I mean, you got back so late,

253
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 4: like we said on Sunday night, it's a later day

254
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 4: on Monday.

255
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 3: You're forced to move on very quickly.

256
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 4: You're not home at a decent time to watch Sunday

257
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 4: Night Football and see the halftime show talking about how

258
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 4: good you were in the highlights, right like, you have

259
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 4: to move on. So I think that's number one. I

260
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 4: think too, you were just building competitive character with young

261
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 4: football players who haven't done this before.

262
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 3: And this is a draft class that is playing a

263
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 3: significant amount of snaps in minutes. That's only going to grow.

264
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 4: By the way, too, is gunner Helm makes more big

265
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 4: plays in the red zone, as Marcus Harris makes more

266
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 4: plays on special teams, which maybe earns it more of

267
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 4: a look on defense and things like that. But I

268
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 4: think for me, that's where Brian Callahan has been really

269
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 4: intentional about building professionalism with a lot of players that

270
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 4: were playing college football this time last year. I think too,

271
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 4: this is where you see Brian Callahan, the head coach

272
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 4: and non play caller, maybe relate to his players in

273
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 4: a different way this week. And I talked to Amani

274
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 4: Hooker about that yesterday and not just this week, right,

275
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 4: this is a three week process now. But Amani told

276
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 4: me that Brian's not only in the meetings for the defense.

277
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 3: He's giving input. He's a part of the conversation.

278
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 4: And he said that's something that you want a head

279
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 4: coach to do, and not that there was anything wrong

280
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 4: with the way he was relating to them earlier. But

281
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 4: the dynamic has changed and there is a trust in

282
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 4: Bohart agree the play caller, and Nick Holts, who does

283
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 4: so much of the scripting and building out the framework

284
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 4: of what they want the football game to look like

285
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 4: during the week that Brian has said, like, I can

286
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 4: talk to my players more. I'm having more fun. I can,

287
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 4: you know, relate to guys in the sideline. He got

288
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 4: air after Tyler Lockett's fumble recovery of the inside.

289
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 3: He shoked up in the air, yeah.

290
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: How hot, Like give me a range on the vertical here.

291
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 4: It was a like I don't know if you've again

292
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 4: my track brain, like a triple jump or a long

293
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 4: jump where you're like jumping up into the pit. Like

294
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 4: it was one of those where he's like going off

295
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 4: one leg and like almost like Super Mario when you

296
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 4: hit the mushroom and it's like, oh and you jump

297
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 4: up in the air.

298
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 1: That's it.

299
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 3: Super Callahanish. We can make that. Yes, that's kind of

300
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: what it looks like.

301
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: That's phenomenal.

302
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: You know, someone that we haven't talked about yet, and

303
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: I feel like we show's Taj Spears.

304
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: Yes, back got some action.

305
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: He had seventeen snapped four touches, and so of course

306
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: it's his first game back from being on injured reserve,

307
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: so you want to ease him back in. I'm sure

308
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: he's on a pitch count. Where do you hope to

309
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: see him participate more in his.

310
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: Second game back?

311
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Taja is such an easy guy to

312
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 4: root for. I mean it's so obvious any one that's

313
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 4: been around him, any fan that's just gotten to know

314
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 4: him since he's been here, like he's just the nicest,

315
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 4: most positive influence of in that locker room. So I

316
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 4: think everyone is just so happy that he's back and

317
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 4: he can contribute I think in.

318
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 3: A couple ways.

319
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 4: I think as a pass catcher, he can do a

320
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 4: lot of things that I don't know. Just allow you

321
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 4: to operate in a phone booth. That's kind of what

322
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 4: I think of when I think of Taija's peers, the

323
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 4: quick cuts, the ability to turn a five yard angle

324
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 4: route into a fifteen to twenty yard game, you know,

325
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 4: the ability with the RPO game, I think to run

326
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 4: in a small space and get to that second and

327
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 4: third level. And in my weekly pregame conversation with Mike

328
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 4: Braganzi for Titans Countdown, that's the thing that he told me.

329
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 4: He said, we love TAJA's ability as an explosive runner

330
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 4: to get to the second and third level, and they

331
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 4: really like his ability to turn simple you know, quote

332
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 4: unquote vanilla play calls into something big into a Sunday

333
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 4: and I think that's where Taija really brings a different dynamic.

334
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 4: And two, just saving Tony Pollard for eighteen weeks. I

335
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 4: know this is something we've talked about a ton and

336
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 4: that was a big challenge for Tony at the end

337
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 4: of last year, and in Week seventeen, Taijay Spears got

338
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 4: his first career start as an NFL running back, because

339
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 4: Tony Poler was just so banged up by the end

340
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 4: of the season. So not only within a game do

341
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 4: you need Tony running his best in the fourth quarter.

342
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 4: We'd like for Tony to be his best in December

343
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 4: and in January. And you know, whether that's ten to

344
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 4: twelve carries, whether it's five six catches, whatever it looks like.

345
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 4: Writing the hot hand weekend and week out, I think

346
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 4: TAJA helps get you the best version of Tony Pollard.

347
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

348
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 2: I think that on that note, we should probably take

349
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: a cookie break.

350
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: Let's do it, which I know is the whole reason

351
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: this part of today I thought.

352
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 4: I in a tired moment at work today, I literally

353
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 4: had the thought of, like, I get a cookie break today,

354
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 4: it's going to be all right, Well, there you go.

355
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: Christy Cookie is here to help you out. They are

356
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: the ones that send us the cookies for our cookie break.

358
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: Oh and I got this before.

359
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: Well, okay, so you're you are welcome. Please, thank you. Joy.

360
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: There's a chance that I cheated earlier today and I

361
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 2: look to see what the cookie flavor was and when

362
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: I saw Rocky Road, I was like, I'm gonna need

363
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: to try this in advance, and I ate the whole

364
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 2: thing in about two seconds.

365
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: Perfect because it's so good.

366
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 2: We've got a chocolate and nutty and it's I think

367
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 2: these are white chocolate pieces in here too. Yeah, phenomenal.

368
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,120

00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 4: gonna hurt me.

388
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 3: It's great.

389
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: Cookie do really going to hurt you?

390
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 3: Well, that's what my parents always told me, but they.

391
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 2: Never stopped me as an adult using your brain right now,

392
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 2: have you ever heard.

393
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 3: On the news like that's true?

394
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 1: Raw cookie dough kills six doesn't happen.

395
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 3: I'm not no.

396
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 4: I don't want to know the answer because I want

397
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 4: more Ammo to be able to do it.

398
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 2: So you never in my life have I heard of

399
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: someone dying from raw cookie dough consumption.

400
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 3: That's true, that's fair, never very fair.

401
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: It is time for the Little Caesars Real Deal matchup.

402
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: Of the game with me Amy.

403
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: Well, this week's real deal matchup of the game, I

404
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 2: think is Jeffrey Simmons.

405
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: Versus the Raiders offensive line.

406
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 2: The Raiders offensive line has allowed the second highest interior

407
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: pressure rate this season at ten point four percent, and that.

408
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: Is music to Big Jeff's ears.

409
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 2: As Jeffrey Simmons leads all defensive tackles with twenty total pressures.

410
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 2: There's a lot of adjusting and movement on that Raiders

411
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 2: offensive line, and so for someone like Big Jeff, who

412
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: has been playing the best football of his career. There

413
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 2: are a lot of spots where he can potentially make

414
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 2: a big impact in this game. Titans fans get fifteen

415
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 2: percent off your little Caesars order of fifteen dollars or

416
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: more at participating stores using code Titans fifteen. That is,

417
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 2: Titans one to five at checkout. Excludes taxes and other fees.

418
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: Pizza pizza, Okay, I'm me to shop eating because we

419
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: need to talk because there are some awards that have

420
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 2: been given yes to Titans players, and I feel we

421
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: need to talk about them because the first one is

422
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,719
Speaker 2: a really big deal. Chim ray Dka was named the

423
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 2: AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week five.

424
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 2: Really big deal not only because he's a rookie ye,

425
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 2: but also because he has been killing it recently.

426
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: The guy leads the league in all purpose yards.

427
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 2: He has seven hundred and eighty three all purpose yards

428
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 2: in five weeks.

429
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, he.

430
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 2: Had another Banana's long run that didn't even count, so

431
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: I mean that number could be substantially higher. He'd be

432
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 2: well over eight hundred all purpose yards. That's pretty crazy.

433
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: He has two of the top five longest returns this season,

434
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: which is also crazy. Number two and number four, like

435
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 2: Jim Dka is killing the game right now. So I

436
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 2: think that he deserves this award, And I mean, how

437
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 2: fortunate are the Titans to have a guy like that

438
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 2: in his rookie year putting up these kinds of numbers

439
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 2: on this team.

440
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 4: It's huge, And the difference between needing a field goal

441
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,959
Speaker 4: at the end of that game on Sunday and a

442
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 4: touchdown at the end of the game could literally be

443
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 4: a sixty five yard return that puts you in field

444
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 4: goal range immediately. That's the kind of impact that a

445
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 4: play like that makes on a really close football game,

446
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 4: and as close as a lot of these games have been,

447
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 4: it's the difference in winning and losing and what is

448
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 4: a third of the game in the special teams, although

449
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 4: oftentimes it's not treated as such. I think Chim is

450
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 4: a superstar in the making as a returner. I think

451
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 4: as he gets more comfortable in that area of the game,

452
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 4: it's only going to open up more doors for him

453
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 4: as an offensive player as well, because he's just got

454
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 4: things you can't teach. His vision with the football in

455
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 4: his hand, his change of direction, his just straight line speed,

456
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 4: as well. Is phenomenal that the Titans were near last

457
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 4: in the NFL last year an average starting field position

458
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 4: on offense, and that has drastically flipped in large part

459
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 4: because Jim DK creating turnovers and turning the ball over

460
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 4: less yourself. And that's the difference between winning and losing

461
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 4: in the NFL, when everyone is good, when everyone has talent,

462
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 4: when everyone on a given day can win or lose.

463
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 4: Even more so than college football, special teams is that

464
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 4: much more magnified because the margins of good teams and

465
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 4: rebuilding teams is so much smaller than it is in

466
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 4: college football. So Jim DK deserves the shout out, deserves

467
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 4: he deserves a tin of cookies as well. I would

468
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 4: say Jim DK has earned it. He is, he's a stud.

469
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 4: He's doing a great job.

470
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: Home is at the forefront of all we do.

471
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,520

00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 2: jeweler of the Tennessee Titans. Either guy who won an

483
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 2: award and this is a little more of a niche

484
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: award because it was created invented by Brian Callahan, but

485
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 2: I think it's important to note Cedric Gray was named

486
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,959
Speaker 2: the Dirty Work Player of the Game. This is an

487
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: award created by Brian Callahan for the guy who does

488
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: the dirty work during the games. He gets to wear

489
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 2: a black jersey during practice. It shows that he is

490
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: the everyman working man. And this week it was Cedric Gray.

491
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 2: He had twelve tackles versus Arizona. He had seventeen versus Houston.

492
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: The guy just continues to show up week after week

493
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 2: after week.

494
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 3: He's everywhere.

495
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 4: Truly, I think this is such a good success story

496
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 4: for the Titans this year.

497
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 3: I think it's one of my favorite.

498
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 4: Stories in the way Cedric Gray watched from the sideline

499
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 4: injured last season for two thirds of the year and

500
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 4: used that to learn and to grow and to understand

501
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 4: how can I impact the game when I'm out there?

502
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 4: And my goodness, is he impacting the game right now?

503
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 4: I also loved the black jersey.

504
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: By the way, like cool right.

505
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 3: I never thought of.

506
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 4: That being like a titan's look, but it looks really

507
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 4: good as a jersey nerd myself, I've loved it.

508
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,959
Speaker 3: No, but Cedric is such a smart player.

509
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 4: You talk to him, in like thirty seconds into the conversation,

510
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 4: you can tell like, this guy not only plays fast,

511
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 4: but his processing speed of understanding what he is doing

512
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 4: and what his role is in the defense, having success

513
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 4: play to play like he understands.

514
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 3: It as he's doing it.

515
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 4: And not to say that, you know other players don't,

516
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 4: but they're North Carolina. Doesn't just hand out degrees like.

517
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 4: He is a different level of football of processing of

518
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 4: understanding his role.

519
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 3: And I think this to Amy is where Frank.

520
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 4: Bush coach Mac talks about it a lot. Is in

521
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 4: a lot of ways kind of the Bill Callahan of

522
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 4: linebacker coaches, and he is a savant level coach at

523
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 4: that position, and he has got quite a talent on

524
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 4: his hand in Cedric, because Cedric's athleticism and just thumper

525
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 4: ability is something that is not often coupled with processing

526
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 4: speed and football IQ. And when you put those two

527
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 4: things together and you have a guy that can run

528
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 4: and hit as violently as he can, but he understands

529
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 4: what the other ten guys in the field are doing,

530
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 4: that is the makings of a really special football player.

531
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,239
Speaker 2: Absolutely one more award that we need to acknowledge, and

532
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 2: this one was for our very own Taylor Sarzer. Oh Yes,

533
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 2: Morning Football named Taylor's game winning radio call.

534
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: The best play call of the Wei.

535
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 3: I love it?

536
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: Isn't that great? Here? Can we play that?

537
00:25:59,080 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 5: Are you ready?

538
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 3: Mike? I am ready, Kyle, I believe you are.

539
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 5: Our first award today is called best play call. It's

540
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 5: very very simple. We've heard them all, we love them all,

541
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 5: but none more than Titans radio announcer Taylor Zarza's call

542
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 5: of Joey Sly's game winning kick.

543
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 3: Take it away, Taylor.

544
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 6: Cox snaps it back, Sly lets it fly. Bly Hey, Nashville.

545
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 6: That sounds like a winner. The Tennessee Titans twenty two,

546
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 6: the Arizona Cardinals twenty one.

547
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 7: All right, so you got he lets it fly, Joey

548
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 7: sly bullseye, what a guy, my own my in the ie.

549
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 5: Mean, it's an amazing thing. And by the way, that

550
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 5: was like the strangest game of all times. You have

551
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,239
Speaker 5: to deliver like that. That was Taylor's first season. Now

552
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 5: is say Titans radio announcer fantastic? Also does college football

553
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 5: college baseball SEC network?

554
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 3: You have did reminiscent of Happy Gilmour.

555
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 4: Why don't I go eat some hey, make things out

556
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 4: of clay by the bay?

557
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 3: What do you say?

00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 7: Listen to what I say or you'll pay it?

559

Speaker 2: Okay?

Speaker 1: Awesome, just so good, so good.

561
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 3: Oh. I was so happy for him. I had chills

562
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 3: on the sideline.

563
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 4: I was also jumping for joy the way Brian Callahan

564
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 4: was earlier, just listening to it in my ear and.

565
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 3: Living in that moment.

566
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 4: Taylor is crushing it like it's It's been so fun

567
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 4: to just see our fans really get to know him

00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 4: and get to just hear the new sound of Titans

00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 4: Radio with his leadership and him and Mac are just

570
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 4: crushing it. And you can tell that Taylor's oars is

571
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 4: having a blast. That is the thing that I just

572
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 4: love the most listening to him is you can tell

573
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 4: he is just having so much fun. We are having

574
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 4: so much fun on air with him off the air.

575
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 4: It's just it's been awesome getting to know him and

576
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 4: getting to work with him.

577
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

578
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 2: You can go to the Titans instagram if you want

579
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 2: to not only hear that call, but also see Taylor

580
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 2: make it in the booth. Titan's Instagram is where you

581
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 2: can find that. All right, onto the Raiders. Yes, friend,

582
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: they are also one and four. They are coming off

583
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 2: of a forty to six loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

584
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 2: They've lost four straight and are zero and two at home.

585
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,239
Speaker 2: Will Bowling, I ask of you, what's the deal with

586
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 2: this Raiders team?

587
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 3: Ooh, boys so much?

588
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 4: I mean on offense, Let's start there. Gino Smith has

589
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 4: not been the same guy he was the past few

590
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 4: years in Seattle. He looks a little bit more like

591
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 4: New York Jets. Gino Smith. We hope that continues for

592
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 4: another Sunday because he's a really good football player and

593
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 4: he has played a lot of football. Chip Kelly the

594
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 4: offensive coordinator, Pete Carroll the head coach. They're enough good

595
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 4: football people over there, they're gonna get it figured.

596
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 3: Out.

597
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 4: I think the challenge for Gino has been chemistry with

598
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 4: his wide receivers, and you know whether that is Trey Tucker,

599
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 4: who I think has really come on strong and he's

600
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 4: had a good start to the season. You know, tight

601
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 4: end brock Bowers has been injured. He did not play

602
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 4: in this game. Dante Thornton, rookie at at Tennessee, shows

603
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 4: a lot of promise, but he's only got five catches,

604
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 4: I believe, on sixteen targets to start the year. Jacobe

605
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 4: Myers is kind of a do it all guy. It

606
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 4: feels like maybe on a lot of other rosters, they've

607
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 4: got a lot of two's, who's that one for them

608
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 4: that's kind of stepping up? Really, brock Bowers is kind

609
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 4: of wide receiver one, so without him, it further magnifies

610
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 4: some of the weaknesses and inadequacies at that position. But

611
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 4: Ashton Genty is the guy, and Ashton Genty is a

612
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 4: problem that the Titans have to have a solution for.

613
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 4: You look at just his his raw numbers and it's impressive,

614
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 4: but then you look at the missed tackles that he's forcing.

615
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 4: I mean against the Bears in Week four, he forced

616
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 4: nine miss tackles one hundred and twenty three yards after contact.

617
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 3: He is someone.

618
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 4: That he's almost we were talking about this this week

619
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 4: on the radio show. He's kind of got a little

620
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 4: Maurice Jones drew in him, almost mixed with like a

621
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 4: like a prime Todd Gurley. The way he can catch

622
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 4: the football. There's a little bit of Alvin Kamara in there.

623
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 4: He does everything and he stands in the backfield straight

624
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 4: up like Michael Myers, and it's haunting this time of year.

625
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 3: Booky.

626
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 4: Absolutely, he's just you's got to tackle him and sometimes,

627
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 4: like you know, that's not groundbreaking analysis, but like just

628
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 4: tackling him when you have the opportunity to tackling tackle

629
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 4: him sometimes is as simple as it gets. And that

630
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 4: sounds really simple for me who is not athletic, and

631
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 4: uh for the athletes and getting him on the ground,

632
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 4: it's much easier said than done. But that's I think

633
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 4: the thing that sticks out about this Raiders offense is

634
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 4: Ashton Genty has the ability to take really simple plays

635
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 4: and turn them into explosive plays. And you can't let

636
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 4: that happen Sunday.

637
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting that you say that tackle him

638
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 2: is not groundbreaking analysis. But that is typically what I

639
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: scream at the television. Yes when I'm watching football more

640
00:30:58,920 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 2: than anything else.

641
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 3: Tackles, Yes, yes, get him, Yes either head, get him.

642
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: Is a really good one.

643
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 2: I do that a lot too, which people are like,

644
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: they pay you to work in the NFL.

645
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 3: For that, Absolutely, they sure do.

646
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about the other side of

647
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 2: the ball in Max Crosby, because we know what he

648
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 2: can do. We've seen him rec games time and time again,

649
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 2: and he still seems to be that guy. Even if

650
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 2: he's not putting up the like bananas numbers, he's still

651
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 2: putting up some pretty strong numbers.

652
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 4: He is a couple of sacks for him to start

653
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 4: the season, and the pressure rate is what has not

654
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 4: been as high as it typically is. This is one

655
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 4: of my nerd nuggets of the day and of the show.

656
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 4: A ten point one percent pressure rate for Max Crosby

657
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 4: this year. That is actually blow league average and well

658
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 4: below his average of his career at thirteen percent. So

659
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 4: that can be one of two things. It could mean

660
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 4: that Max Crosby, coming off of ankle surgery last year,

661
00:31:54,840 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 4: is still getting getting revved up for the season. It

662
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 4: could also mean that he's angry enough where he takes

663
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 4: it out on you and you do not want the

664
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 4: ladder to be the case because he is disruptive.

665
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 5: You know.

666
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 4: It's interesting this week talking to JC Latham in the

667
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 4: locker room, which was great to catch up with him

668
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 4: and we hope that he could be back for this game.

669
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 4: On Sunday, he compared Max Crosby to Jeff Simmons in

670
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 4: the way that Jeffrey Simmons is relentless to the football

671
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 4: and you'll see a run left when Crosby or Jeff

672
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 4: are lined up on the right side, and all of

673
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 4: a sudden, as the play ends, here comes Jeff just

674
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 4: diving into the pile. Max Crosby's going to do that too,

675
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 4: So in the Titans run game, in the past game,

676
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 4: in the screen game, he will recognize what is happening

677
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 4: and just turn and sprint and find whoever has the football.

678
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 3: So you have to always know.

679
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,959
Speaker 4: Where Max Crosby is on the field. Again, sounds really simple,

680
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 4: but that means as the play goes as well, kind

681
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 4: of the play within the play. I also would really

682
00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 4: love to be able to fly on the wall, and

683
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 4: I guess I will be a little bit for just

684
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 4: some of the conversations between Max and cam Ward. I

685
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 4: think those two are going to talk quite a bit.

686
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 4: I think both are going to enjoy that. I think

687
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 4: Max Crosby is the type of veteran pass rusher who

688
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 4: likes to try to get in quarterbacks heads, and I

689
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 4: think cam Ward's going to embrace that and have some

690
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 4: fun with it.

691
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 3: On someday.

692
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I think he is to the Titans take on

693
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiance Stadium. Kickoff for that

694
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 2: game is at three h five pm local time. Titans

695
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 2: Radio is on the air at two o'clock, so you

696
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 2: don't want to miss Titan's countdown because I believe you're

697
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 2: talking with Chicka kan k Claw.

698
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 4: Yes, talking with Chicka kon quo, And I think people

699
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 4: will always enjoy hearing from him because he's just a

700
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 4: fun guy who's really good and can do this job

701
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 4: when he's done. He's far from done, but yeah, very fun.

702
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 3: Guy to talk to.

703
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

704
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 2: No, absolutely, If you are going to Vegas and you

705
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 2: are going to be heading out to the game, heading

706
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: out to whatever it is you do in Vegas, out

707
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 2: ask those questions. If you are looking for something to

708
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 2: do on Saturday night, we have exactly the thing for you,

709
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 2: because the Titans are hosting a road rally. This is

710
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 2: the place for all Titans fans to be. It is

Speaker 2: at Old Red. It's from five to eight pm. This

712
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,879

713
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 2: in Nashville, you're at the wrong place. I'm sure that's fine,

714
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 2: But this is in Las Vegas. There's an Old Red

715
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 2: there as well, same kind of vibe, but with Titans.

716
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 2: So head on out there five to eight pm this

717
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 2: Saturday night.

718
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: Titans alumni will be there.

719
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 2: Drell Casey's going to be there, Kevin Van Kyle Van

720

Speaker 2: Denbosch is gonna be there.

721
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,479
Speaker 1: Yep, he's gonna be there as well.

722
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 2: And so there's also gonna be a lot of games

723
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 2: and a talk, and there's always door prizes.

724
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a blast.

725
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 2: Every road rally the Titans throw is epic, yes, and

726
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 2: I'm sure this one will be no exception. So head

727
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: on out to the Titans road Rally. Also, in case

728
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 2: you missed it, Alan Jackson is going to be coming

00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 2: to Nissan Stadium in June of twenty twenty six.

730
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: It is going to be an epic show. An epic show.

731
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 4: The list of people that are going to be at

732
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 4: that is crazy down It's like better than some award shows.

733
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 4: It's pretty incredible, honestly, Oh my.

734
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,920

00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: I mean there's fifteen of them, only in Nashville.

738
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be the most Nashville thing that

739
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 2: could ever happen. And it's happening at Nissan Stadium, one

740
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 2: of the most Nashville venues.

741
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:41,960

Speaker 2: to miss that show. It's going to be an epic show.

750
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 2: Will Are there any little nerd nuggets that I blew pass?

751
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 3: A couple more? Not too much, honestly.

752
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 4: Ashton gent sixth in the NFL with two hundred and

753
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 4: ninety two yards after contact of his three hundred and

754
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 4: forty nine rushing yards that he has already this season.

755
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 4: I thought this was interesting. This was actually going into

756
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 4: the Colts matchup. For Vegas, they have played zone defense

757
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 4: on eighty eight percent of their snaps on defense. Interesting,

758
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 4: that is second highest in the NFL this season. We

759
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 4: already got to the other nugget on Max Crosby. Not

760
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 4: really a nerd thing, but something to monitor with Vegas.

761
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 4: At center, Jordan Meredith is an undrafted center out of

762
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 4: Western Kentucky. He's a veteran, is not undrafted this year.

763
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 4: He has never played center before until this year, so

764
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 4: had never played center. Move from guard inside. Three penalties

765
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 4: for him in the past couple of weeks and this season,

766
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 4: and one of them was a delay of game where

767
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 4: Gino Smith's trying to stamp the ball and he just

768
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 4: didn't stamp the ball and they kind of got into

769
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 4: it on the sideline a little bit in that loss

770
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 4: of the Colts. So that's something I think to watch.

771
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 4: And then Stone Foresight, their left tackle in for the

772
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 4: injured Colton Miller, made his first career start over the

773
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 4: weekend against the Indianapolis Colts, and that's something to monitor

774
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 4: as well. I think the Titans pass rush and Fimio

775
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 4: Ladejo and John Ward, who I think has been an

776
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 4: excellent kind of under the radar. Brian Callahan called him

777
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 4: a glue guy addition this week. So I think Titan's

778
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 4: pass rush is starting to ascend a little bit, starting

779
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 4: to be a bit more disruptive. This is an offensive

780
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 4: line you can get after a little bit. As they've

781
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 4: got some injuries and they've got Jackson powers, Johnson moving

782
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 4: from left guard right guard, just a lot of moving parts.

783
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 4: They've not got that offensive line settled yet. So that

784
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 4: has nerdy even nugget there, but just one of the

785
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:53,680
