Yeah, I really do. 4 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 3: It just feels good to see all of the hard 5 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 3: work come to fruition. That's the thing about sports. Not 6 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 3: to get philosophical at this point in the show, because 7 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 3: we're just getting started, just getting started, But the thing 8 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 3: about sports is that there is a gratification factor when 9 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 3: you finally accomplish your goal, and the goal is to 10 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 3: win a ballgame. It's not a complicated thing, but so 11 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,599 Speaker 3: incredibly gratifying when you see the hard work and all 12 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 3: of the frustrating moments and the adversity and all of 13 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 3: that come together and then all of a sudden you 14 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 3: get the win. 15 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 2: You feel so good. 16 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 3: It's like the ultimate high that you can feel is 17 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 3: your team getting a win. So I'm sure that Titans 18 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 3: fans are feeling that today. They're feeling that relief, that 19 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 3: sense of Okay. 20 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 2: Here we go. 21 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 3: And you know that coach McCoy is and I can't 22 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 3: wait to hear from him and talk to him on 23 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 3: a victory Monday. 24 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know he'll be alongside with us here coming 25 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: up in just a minute. It's a really good point 26 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: that you make because the result of winning has such 27 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: a great impact on all the people that are connected 28 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: to the Titans. Let's start at the very top. As 29 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,559 Speaker 1: soon as I come off the elevator from floor five 30 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: in Huntingdon bank Field and go down to the first 31 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: floor to go into the Titans' locker room to talk 32 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: to coach McCoy. First person I see Amy Adam is strunk, 33 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: and she just has the biggest smile on her face 34 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: and she's so fired up. She wants to high five. 35 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 4: You know. 36 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: Ken Adams is there as well, one of our other owners, Burke, Niehill, 37 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: the president of the team, Chad Brinker, there, all of them, 38 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: and they're just so excited Amy. And then you go 39 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: into the locker room and it's the same thing. All 40 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: of the players felt that way as well, so you're right. 41 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it's just a good feeling. 42 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 3: And obviously the players are excited, they're they're they're seeing 43 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 3: the fruits of their labor. And then I mean just 44 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 3: walking through the building, there's a different vibe in Ascension 45 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 3: Saint Thomas Sports Park today than there has been in 46 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 3: a while. And also are there treats, like are there 47 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 3: snacks or something? Most Victory mondays there are treats there. 48 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: There's some molasses that is out counter out here. 49 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 3: I'll take molasses. Molasses is good. It's a very holiday treat. 50 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: I believe we have steaks downstairs. 51 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: Okay, well those aren't for us, but I like snacks. 52 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 3: Like there are different places that I have been over 53 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 3: the end here with the Titans over the years, and 54 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: there's always an array of treats, like whether it's you don't. 55 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: Want a cowboy steak at lunch on Monday, No. 56 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 2: I want like a cupcake. I want a cookie. 57 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 3: In Baltimore, when I was there, they would have a 58 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 3: different bakery bake of Ian't cake every time the Ravens won. 59 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 3: I mean that was a great time to be alive 60 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 3: for me. I mean I couldn't afford real You got snickers, 61 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 3: We've got Christy cookie. So we are good. But like, 62 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 3: if someone wants to throw me a little like a 63 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 3: slice of pie, what am I gonna do? 64 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: Say? No, we won a football game, Like, give me 65 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 2: some treats. That's what I'm looking for. 66 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: What was your favorite part of the Titans win? 67 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 5: Oh? 68 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 3: There are so many good parts seeing a really strong 69 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 3: run game was my favorite part. And I know that's 70 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 3: like all of the parts, but it was something that 71 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 3: we had talked about all week long, and it was 72 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 3: such a point of frustration for the offense as a whole, 73 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 3: not just Tony Pollard and Taj Spears, not just the 74 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 3: offensive line, the collective. It was such a goal and 75 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 3: we've seen them do it in practice. We've seen them 76 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 3: throughout the week, like really work on that specifically. So 77 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 3: to finally see that the damn break, you know, to 78 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 3: see Tony Pollard have a career day, I mean, it 79 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 3: just it felt so good to do the thing that 80 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 3: we knew whichever team could establish the run was the 81 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 3: team that was going to win the football game, and 82 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 3: that was the Tennessee Titans. And it's just the simplicity 83 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 3: yet the effectiveness of it. To see this team just 84 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 3: execute what they needed to do. That was my favorite part. 85 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: On that piece of paper in front of you right now, 86 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: it says Tony Pollard at one hundred and sixty one 87 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: yards rushing in the game. That's a career high for him. 88 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: He had two touchdown runs. One was sixty five yards 89 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,559 Speaker 1: the first one that he had. That's the longest run 90 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: of his career. 91 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: And it was pretty It was just impressive. 92 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: They had a couple of cutbacks. Dan Jefferson with a 93 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: great downfield block. Yep, it was great. And he's in 94 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: his seventh year out of Memphis and he's had three 95 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: one thousand yard rushing seasons. And by the way, I 96 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: think if you flip back to the first page of 97 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: your entire packet there, it's going to tell you that 98 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: he has over seven hundred yards rushing on the season, 99 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: and so he's he's still got a shot. He's got 100 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: a real shot. You know that he could get to 101 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: a thousand yards before the end of this season. So 102 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: it's a huge game by him and everybody throughout this building. 103 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: Amy has been talking about how you've got to activate 104 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: the ground game. That helps every single part of your 105 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: football game. And you're and certainly your off the offensive 106 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: side of the ball, but defensively, it was a great 107 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: performance special teams. You get a punt block in the game. 108 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: Really in all phases the Titans played, well. 109 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 3: How about that punt block, by the way, and I'm crazy, yeah, 110 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 3: and how crazy James Williams that bones fossil was just 111 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 3: talking about it. This week or this past week, excuse me, 112 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 3: but last Tuesday, he has a media availability and he 113 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:52,119 Speaker 3: is asked about specifically punt blocks, and he talks about 114 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 3: Tim Shaw and how they knew he was the last 115 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 3: guy to do it, and Tim's in the room, and 116 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 3: so like, there's this great synergy around that, and then 117 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 3: to have it happen. I heard it on the radio, 118 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 3: I saw it on TV and I said out loud, 119 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, they broke it. 120 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: Tim's lost his seat. It's not Tim Shaw's thing anymore. 121 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 2: We have he moved on. It is James Williams thing now. 122 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 3: And it was just so cool to hear them talking 123 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 3: about it, knowing that that was such a point of emphasis, 124 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 3: and then to have the opportunity to present itself and man, 125 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 3: he just blew it out of the water. 126 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: It was great, great moment. 127 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: It was a great moment, so really cool. Jeff Simmons 128 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: continues to have this just extraordinary season. Amy he has 129 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: eleven pressures on Shador Sanders. That's a career high for 130 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: pressures in a game for Simmons, and obviously more sacks 131 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: of the quarterback. He is one sack away from a 132 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: career high in sacks and you consider the fact that 133 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: he missed a couple of games. Another all Pro caliber 134 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: year for number ninety eight. 135 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 3: Absolutely, what a year he's or what a week he's 136 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 3: having to I mean, he's having a great year overall, 137 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 3: but what a week last seven days where he's announced 138 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 3: that he's the Tennessee Titans Walter Payton Man of the 139 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 3: Year nominee for the third time in a row, which 140 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 3: is just such an awesome accomplishment. 141 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: So he performs well on the. 142 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 3: Field, he's this just lights out phenomenal contributor on the field, 143 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 3: and he's also a lights out phenomenal contributor off the 144 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 3: field in the community.

You could see the snowflakes. 222 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 3: Poor Will Bowling didn't get the like accumulating snow that 223 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 3: I wanted for him. 224 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: That's where I was going to go next. It didn't stick, 225 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: but I mean it fell. My goodness, it felt all day. Yeah, 226 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 1: And I had to lead the broadcast with Jameis Winston's 227 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: remarks from last year. I'm so happy and grateful that 228 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: the Lord has blessed me to play in some snow, 229 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: to be in true football weather. Yep. We had to 230 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: start with that, and Will was very excited that we 231 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: started the broadcast with that. So was Katie's oarser. That's 232 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: like her favorite viral clip ever. So I had to 233 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: do a little self serving, you know, father daughter shout 234 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: out there at the beginning of the broadcast. But it 235 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: was it was fun to be in some snow, fun 236 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: to get a win. I was really happy for you 237 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: to get a win, you know. I mean, I'm happy 238 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: for everybody in an organization that we got to and 239 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: I want to get more of them. You know. I 240 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 1: think that there are a lot of Titans fans out 241 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: there that are like, gosh, draft picks, draft picks, draft picks, 242 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: you know, get the best draft pick that you can 243 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: possibly can and listen, there's no doubt that the Titans 244 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: need to crush another draft. Mike Borgonzi would be the 245 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: first person to say that to you. Crush the last 246 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: draft with all the players that are having such a 247 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: huge impact on the field. But let me tell you 248 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: the most important thing that this young football team can 249 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: do right now. Win. Developing a team takes learning how 250 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: to win, and I thought that that was critical to 251 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: get that done. So I am all here for the winning. Yep. 252 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: I won't not that anybody would ever do this. Tanking 253 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: is just a word that shouldn't even even be used. 254 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: But the idea that you don't want to win, that 255 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: is nowhere in this organization or in the buildings. I 256 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: can promise you that this team is totally committed to winning. 257 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 3: Well, there's too many people everybody who are playing for 258 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 3: their jobs. This isn't this isn't a hobby, this isn't 259 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,479 Speaker 3: for fun. This is people's livelihoods. And when your performance 260 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 3: is directly related to like your employment. 261 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 2: There is motivation there. 262 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 3: So while you you you talk about all of the things, 263 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 3: and I mean, we will speculate, we will turn our 264 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 3: attention to the draft. We are not there yet, folks. 265 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 3: There's still a lot of football to play. There's still 266 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 3: a lot of winning left to do. And there are 267 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 3: a lot of people who are putting things on tape 268 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 3: that will matter for their careers going forward. And so 269 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 3: there's nobody who is interested in putting anything less than 270 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 3: one hundred percent their best work on tape because regardless 271 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 3: of where their future takes them. 272 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 2: And I'm saying. 273 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 3: Every coach, every player, every scout, every person in this building, 274 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 3: like you want to have a good performance because you 275 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 3: want to continue in this role in this world. 276 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 2: So we're gonna win. 277 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: Let's keep it going as much as we can.

And they 337 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 5: come out and get off to the fast start, get 338 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 5: the touchdown to start the game, and just the way 339 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 5: they practice all week long. 340 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 4: The way we were going to change. 341 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 5: We were going to go through a jog through it 342 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 5: to end of Thursday's practice, but Randy Jordan came up 343 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 5: to me during the special teams period and said, Hey, 344 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 5: this is awesome out here right now. 345 00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 4: Guys are flying around there having fun. 346 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 5: And then we said okay, and I asked Jeff and 347 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 5: a couple other guys, hey, you want to continue. They 348 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 5: wanted to do it, and Randy and I kind of 349 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 5: sat back there and watched these guys practice and finished 350 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 5: two periods and it was unbelievable just their attitude. So 351 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 5: I kind of had a good feeling, a really good 352 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 5: feeling about this game Thursday after practice. 353 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: And another thing that you did is you change practice 354 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 1: times in the last couple of weeks as well too. 355 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 5: Well, it's something we've I've always done other places, you know, 356 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 5: when I was in Carolina, Denver, San Diego, this is 357 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 5: the way we practiced all the time. But I just 358 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 5: know other places, like when I was in Jacksonville towards 359 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 5: the end of the year, we went to this schedule, 360 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,719 Speaker 5: and I think the players really like it. 361 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 4: It gives them more time on the back end. 362 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 5: It got a little more treatments, and you know, you 363 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 5: start cutting back a little bit on the reps and 364 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 5: everything like that. So it's really to help the players. 365 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: Coach. On this show last week, you said, we've got 366 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: to run the football. Beck That has got to be 367 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: the number one thing we do if we're going to 368 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 1: be successful. We talked about it in the pregame show 369 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: leading in to the broadcast on Sunday. Well, one hundred 370 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: and eighty four total yards rushing, hundred and sixty one 371 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: of those coming from Tony Pollard, which is a career high, 372 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: two touchdown runs, including the sixty five yard or the 373 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: longest run of his career. How did they do it? 374 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 5: Well, I think it was eleven guys doing their job, 375 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 5: and I think we committed to it. We went into 376 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 5: the game, We're going to have a mindset we have 377 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 5: to run the football, especially playing with someone like Miles 378 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 5: out there. You can't just drop back and throw it 379 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 5: like we've done other games as many times. So you've 380 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 5: got to have a running game. But it's a great 381 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 5: example to everybody that in this league, in the NFL, 382 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 5: you have to consistently run the ball, and it's not 383 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 5: always going to be pretty, but you just keep pounding 384 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 5: the ball, keep running it, keep running explosive plays. 385 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 4: And you know Tony had the explosive one. 386 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 5: But it's just a great team effort by the offense 387 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 5: of everyone doing their job. 388 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: And Miles Garrett did have a sack in the game 389 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: late in the second quarter, it didn't hurt the team 390 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: necessarily that badly. And you came out in the second 391 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: half and you continued the momentum that you had offensively 392 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: of neutralizing Garrett of the best players, if not the 393 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 1: best players in the National Football League. Can you give 394 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 1: us a sense, coach, you were talking a little bit 395 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: about this yesterday. Do you run at him when he's 396 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: such a powerful force? How do you how do you 397 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: figure out a way to neutralize him during during the game. 398 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 5: Well, there's a good mix and we had plenty of 399 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 5: runs that we're gonna go away from him. But then again, 400 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 5: there's gonna be certain plays you're just gonna call it 401 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 5: and run it. So I think the coaching staff did 402 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 5: a great job of putting the plan together, of mixing 403 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 5: it up to where he didn't know which way it 404 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 5: was going, and then with always with someone in the 405 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 5: passing game right next to him. But I think everybody 406 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 5: up front did a great job because he moves around. 407 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 5: You know, he jumped inside a couple times and we 408 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 5: slid to him things like that, But you always have 409 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 5: to know where he has every play. But give the 410 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 5: coaches and the players all the credit in the world 411 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,239 Speaker 5: for doing the job they did and putting a good 412 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 5: plan together to to you know, just try to neutralize them, 413 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 5: because he's gonna make some play. He's going to disrupt 414 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 5: some things, but we took him out of the game. 415 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: Shout out to J. C. Latham and to Kevin Zeitler 416 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: on the road ight side. Corey Levin has started the 417 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: last two games at center and really played well for you. 418 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: I know, Pete Scornsky's one of the best guards in 419 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: the world. And then you also have Dan Moore at 420 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: left tackle, who left the game, and oli Udo came 421 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: in and played at a high level. Brendan Crenshaw Dixon 422 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: was out there for a little while before Moore came back. 423 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, they all did. They all had to play, and 424 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,959 Speaker 5: that's what you got to do. You got to you know, 425 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 5: just be ready to go and be flexible. And when 426 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 5: Dan went down for a little bit, we made a 427 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 5: change and then we had you know, when he went down, 428 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 5: we had a big personnel in there, so you know, 429 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 5: then we had to put we could there's rules that 430 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 5: who can go from an eligible to an in eligiball 431 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 5: those things, so we had to shuffle the deck a 432 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 5: little bit. But give them all credit. They all did 433 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 5: a great job. Tight ends included receivers. You know, Elik 434 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 5: had the one big block on Miles, the one chip 435 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 5: the one time that really helped us. So it was 436 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 5: a great effort by everyone involved for sixty minutes. 437 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: All right, now, let's turn our attention to the defense. 438 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: I'll shout out to my man Jared Puffer from the 439 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: communications team. He always brings me the pressures. 440 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, each week, there's a lot of them. 441 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: I love. I told him yesterday I said, I can't 442 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: wait to see the pressure piece of paper that you 443 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: hand me. Jeff Simmons career high eleven of them in 444 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: the game. Jahad Ward tied a career high with eight. 445 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: Arden Key had nine pressures in the game. Pretty impressive. 446 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, they did an unbelievable job. The effort those three 447 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 5: play with and everybody else on the defense side of 448 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 5: the ball getting after the quarterback. That was a key 449 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 5: going into the game. They just they play a certain way. 450 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 5: Those are all veterans you mentioned that play. There's a 451 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,479 Speaker 5: standard they want to play by, and you know, Jeff's 452 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 5: leader of the group and he dominated the game once again. 453 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 5: So just very happy with the way those guys played. 454 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: I had to give shand Or Sanders some credit though. 455 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: He did a very good job escaping some trouble at 456 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: times where you thought we were going to have him 457 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: on the ground and he found a way to extend 458 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: the play. It was impressed by the rookie quarterback for 459 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: the Browns. 460 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 5: Yeah, he did some nice things and that was one 461 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 5: of the things you look back at after watching the 462 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 5: tape that you could do a better job of, because 463 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 5: we said, you know, you got to keep it in 464 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 5: the pocket and not let him get out there and 465 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 5: make plays with his legs or make plays outside the pocket. 466 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: Yep, but credit to him for his performance, but obviously 467 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: enough for the Titans to get victory. Forced a couple 468 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: of turnovers in the game. Xavier Woods obviously had that 469 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: big interception that kind of got the momentum going in 470 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: the third quarter. But how about the punt block. Coach 471 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,439 Speaker 1: James Williams Senior has the first punt block for the 472 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 1: Titans since twenty twelve. That sets you up on the 473 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: doorstep inside the ten yard line. 474 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 5: It's unbelievable to think. I remember when Bones showed the 475 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 5: team that and it was twenty twelve, but the last time, 476 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 5: it's just like, wow, you know. 477 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 4: It takes it. Come on now, it can't be that hard, 478 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 4: can't it. 479 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 5: And what a great design Bones and student, you know, 480 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 5: designing the scheme to go after him and James execute it. 481 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 5: But that was a big play, and you know, you 482 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 5: talk about playing contmentary football. We got seventeen points off 483 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 5: the two turnovers and the block kick, So that was 484 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 5: outstanding for a football team. 485 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: It certainly was. And my man and Lucas Panziko does 486 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: a great job hosting the pregame halftime in postgame texted 487 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: me immediately when it happened and said, haven't blocked a 488 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: punt since Tim Shaw did it? Yeah, back in twenty 489 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: twelve against the Pittsburgh Steelers. So you watched Tim Shaw 490 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: last week in practice. 491 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 4: That's good. 492 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 5: It's unbelievable. It's it's you know what. We had Tim 493 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 5: back in Carolina? 494 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: Oh you did. 495 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, he was when he came out.

We had the great weather 517 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 5: here last week, very similar without the snow. So it 518 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 5: was a little chilly here, but it wasn't bad at all. 519 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 5: And I think that's football in December. That's the way 520 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 5: it's supposed to be played. It was a great environment 521 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,479 Speaker 5: and the players really stepped up so very I mean, 522 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 5: just so happy for the guys. 523 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: So a guy that has spent time in Jacksonville, that 524 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: loves the desert of Arizona, that was the coach of 525 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: the San Diego Chargers, is totally fine with some snow. 526 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's not. 527 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 5: You know, some of the biggest games, some of the 528 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 5: great memories you have are the cold weather games in 529 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 5: playing a little bit of snow. 530 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: Now, coach, how do you handle a win compared to 531 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: how you handle a loss? Is there anything different that 532 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: you do with your team after a victory? 533 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, gave him a victory Monday. It's well deserved. 534 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 5: They get today and tomorrow off they've got to come 535 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 5: in and get a lift, get their treatments, things like that, 536 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 5: just to get ready to roll. But it's well deserved 537 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 5: and its just reward for them playing the way they did, 538 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 5: and so very happy for the guys. 539 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: And now you'll turn your attention after you do that 540 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: to the San Francisco forty nine ers, who are the 541 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: last handful of years, have been one of the better 542 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: teams in the league, gone to the Super Bowl a 543 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: couple of times. They've dealt with a lot of injuries 544 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: this season, coach, but they've had Christian McCaffrey by and 545 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: large for the duration of the season. He's one of 546 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: the best players in the National Football League running the 547 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: ball and catching it. 548 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a very talented player. He can do it all. 549 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 5: He's been that way his entire career, where it's been 550 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 5: in Carolina or in San Francisco. So you've always got 551 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 5: He's one of those guys you always got no whereas 552 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 5: because whether they're handing out to him or in the 553 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 5: passing game, he makes a lot of big play. So 554 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 5: it's a great challenge for our defense not only stop him, 555 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 5: but to stop their entire offense. I've got a lot 556 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 5: of good players. 557 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: You have a lot of experience with Kyle Shanahan and 558 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: the way he coaches his team. 559 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 5: Well, you know, I've played against him obviously, and his 560 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 5: father was a great coach also, so you've played against 561 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 5: that scheme and what they do. But Kyle does such 562 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 5: a great job of adjusting his plans according to who 563 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 5: they're playing. And you know how his roster's built year 564 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 5: in and year out. But a very talented offensive mind 565 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 5: and it does a great job of calling the game, 566 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 5: and his offense has always been successful. 567 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 4: So we've got a great challenge. 568 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: People talk coach throughout the league about how many Shanahan 569 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: type coaches there are in the league. How prevalent is it. 570 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 4: Well, it's a great system. 571 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 5: And I was with coach Shanahan back in Denver in 572 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 5: ninety five, and you see all the coaches that were 573 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 5: on that staff, Gary Kubiak, that went on, and it 574 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 5: just keeps going on and on to all the young guys. 575 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 5: Back in the days when I got to it, they 576 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 5: were all young, you know, late twenties, this and that. 577 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 5: Now they're head coaches. So there's a number of coaches 578 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 5: that have just kind of they've kind of fed off 579 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 5: of that scheme and that system and how to develop 580 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 5: a program and put everything together. 581 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 4: So it's a very successful scheme. 582 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: Give us something and think about coach defensively with a 583 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: Robert Sala led defense, what is the identity of his defense? 584 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 4: High energy. 585 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 5: They play with a motor that doesn't stop for sixty minutes. 586 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 5: So you've got to match that intensity play after play 587 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 5: because they play the game the way it's supposed to 588 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 5: be played. 589 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,719 Speaker 1: Of course, he was the defensive coordinator there before becoming 590 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: the head coach of the New York Jets, and he 591 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: is back there now. So long trip out west coming 592 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: up this Sunday. Last four weeks of the season. Coach, 593 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: what's the most important message to your team. 594 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 5: Well, you continue to get better and to finish the 595 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,439 Speaker 5: year the right way.
